every day that I see Matt on the floor of the House of Representatives, I know that it was worth it.

Campaigns can be grueling. And that’s doubly true when you’re working to elect a Democrat in a district that Donald Trump won — twice. As Matt’s campaign manager, I know firsthand: Campaigns can be grueling. And that’s doubly true when you’re working to elect a Democrat in a distric…
