This is critical

NationBuilder Friend, Right now, Republicans are strategizing about how they’ll take back Congress in November. I’ve never been more sure of anything: letting them win would be disastrous for our democracy.  My colleagues and I are committed to doing everything we can to preserve …

It’s been one year

NationBuilder Hi Friend, It’s hard to believe that President Biden was inaugurated just one year ago.  We used to wake up every day not knowing what crazy thing Republicans were going to throw at us. Now, we wake up every day knowing that whatever happens, we have someone in…

Did you see the latest on Fox News?

NationBuilder Hi Friend -- Fox News' favorite Tucker Carlson is wrong again. He thinks the United States would be better off without any diversity. This is not okay. I joked on Twitter that Tucker’s vision for our country would mean there would be no ramen restaurants, but it also…

One year ago our democracy changed forever

NationBuilder Friend -- A year ago today we witnessed one of the greatest threats our democracy has ever faced — a violent mob incited by Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol building and tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election. In an election that Donald Trump had cle…

Best way to end 2021

NationBuilder Hi Friend, As we wait to ring in the New Year, I’ve been reflecting on the past year. American families were hit hard by the pandemic, but we showed up for our communities and each other like never before.  And thanks to our majorities in the House and Senate -- majo…

A serious threat

NationBuilder Hi Friend, There’s no way around it — the climate crisis is here, and we have to take action to stop it now. That’s why when House Democrats passed the Build Back Better Act, we included a historic $555 billion in climate initiatives, without a single Republican vote…

A huge win for American families

NationBuilder Friend, The tax cut for families with children that my Democratic colleagues and I passed through the American Rescue Plan put money in working families' pockets and helped lift millions of children out of poverty. But not a single Republican voted for this life-chan…

A fond farewell

NationBuilder Friend, Devin Nunes is resigning from Congress. And while I may think Devin Nunes is an insurrectionist and a coward, it doesn't mean we don't have some memories from the last few years (when he wasn't too busy trying to sue a Twitter cow and being one of the biggest…

a quick history lesson

NationBuilder Friend, Here's a quick history lesson for you: the last time the President's party picked up seats in the House during midterms was 2002. Almost 20 years is a lot of history to overcome -- but bucking the trend has never been more important. Will you help make sure w…

New congressional maps

NationBuilder Friend, I’m writing to share a quick update: California just released the first draft of its redistricting maps. We’ll be running in a district with new communities in 2022 and that takes resources. Usually, when you run for re-election, you don't have to introduce y…

Awesome Jobs Report

NationBuilder Friend, In February, we set a goal to slash unemployment to 4.6% by 2023. In October, we did it -- two years early. It’s clear that the Democrats’ American Rescue Plan is delivering for the American people. And next week, President Biden will be signing the Infrastru…

Sign your name: Support the Women’s Health Protection Act!
