An announcement about my future

Friend, Next month will mark ten years since I stood on the steps of City Hall and declared my candidacy for mayor of the city of Holyoke. What a day that was. Weeks shy of my twenty-second birthday, I stood in the freezing cold, surrounded by family, friends, and my earliest supporters, and I…

Thank you

[PHOTO] Alex cast his ballot this morning

Friend, Election Day is here, but that doesn’t mean our work is over. In fact, how much voter contact we’re able to make before the polls close at 8pm ET tonight could tip the balance in this race. We know that these races can come down to a few hundred votes, which is why we’re asking each of…

2 things:

Friend, We have two important things to share with you before our final end of month deadline before the primary. 1. Ever since a recent poll came out with us within 5 points of our opponent, he and corporate establishment groups have spent over $1 million dollars on ads to defeat us. 2. Th…

A right-wing foreign policy PAC is promoting an ‘emergency fundraiser’ for Richard Neal

Friend, today a right-wing foreign policy PAC sent out an email asking their members to attend an "emergency fundraiser" for our opponent. This PAC proudly supports Lindsey Graham, John Cornyn, and Mitch McConnell, and now they’re throwing their support behind our opponent, Richie Neal. Even w…

We’re building momentum

Sign if you agree: No one deserves to die because they’re too poor.

Friend, Healthcare is a human right. But our country’s broken healthcare system prioritizes profits over people, forcing millions of Americans into crippling debt just to afford the care they need. Thousands of Americans die each year because they can’t afford healthcare, and now the pandemic …
