Fwd: Can we get this done?

It has been a busy month for us all – between my work on Capitol Hill, the never-ending slate of news out of the presidential primary, and the day-to-day in Connecticut and Washington, I have barely had a moment to breathe. I know you have been equally busy. Hi John, I wanted to bump…

Can we get this done?

On Capitol Hill, Jahana has been working hard fighting cuts to Medicare and Social Security. She is speaking out against reductions to the SNAP program and other devastating cuts that make up the shameful 2021 budget. February has flown by, John! On Capitol Hill, Jahana has been work…

We wrote to you earlier this week about the race to replace Jahana and flip this seat red. There’s no doubt this will be a close election – CT-05 is almost a perfect 50/50 split between Democrats and Republicans. John, We wrote to you earlier this week about the race to replace Jahan…

John, President Trump released his 2021 budget this week, and it breaks one of his biggest campaign pledges to voters: that he would not cut Medicaid, Social Security, and Medicare. He promised, "I'm not going to cut Social Security like every other Republican, and I'm not going to …
