We win back Congress by winning back the South

Operation 147 PAC     Folks, Yesterday was a big day for Alabama. It was a day that broke all kinds of barriers and gave us hope for the future. It was a day where we saw years of hard work and countless institutional battles pay off. It was a day when African Americans in Alabama …

We win back Congress by winning back the South

Operation 147 PAC     Folks, Why am I so fired up about what we can do this year? Because Tuesday night, we got a glimpse of what we can do. Marilyn Lands, a Democrat who was up for a seat in a district that previously voted with Trump, beat out Republican candidate Teddy Powell. …

Join us for a Super Tuesday recap

Operation 147 PAC     Folks, For a long time now you have heard me preach about the need for long term investments in the South. I remain convinced that there are so many opportunities in the changing South that progressive voices are not capitalizing on. That is why I am excited t…

Another flip in New York

Operation 147 PAC     Folks, You saw what we could do when we came together and went all-in to win back a seat from MAGA. Tom Suozzi flipped NY-03 with your help. And more importantly, we saw the blueprint -- call out MAGA extremism on women's freedoms and attack their utter failur…

What's happening in Alabama will happen everywhere if we don't act

Operation 147 PAC     Folks, I'm shocked and sickened at the Alabama Supreme Court's ruling -- declaring that frozen embryos are considered children. Led by a Chief Justice who is a Roy Moore protégé, they've basically ruled that frozen embryos in test tubes have more rights than w…

It’s time to take back a House seat (that George Santos held)

Operation 147 PAC     Folks, Last week I sent you an e-mail about donating to Tom Suozzi, but this week has me even more motivated. If MAGA face planting on their impeachment attempt on Tuesday didn’t convince you how important electing Tom Suozzi next week is, I don’t know what wi…

It’s time to take back a House seat (that George Santos held)

Operation 147 PAC     Folks, In less than two weeks, we have a very important election. It’s an election that will determine if New York’s Third District will move past its MAGA mistake or if it will continue on the legacy of George Santos. The choice seems pretty clear, right? In…

Operation 147 PAC     Folks, The state of Montana, and really, the entire country could use another 6 years of Jon Tester in the Senate. Not to mention, this is one of the critical swing seats that will decide the entire Senate. That’s why I’m reaching out today to make sure you’re…
