Join our crucial movement of grassroots donors

  John, Our quarterly FEC deadline is coming up fast, and our fundraising report is about so much more than just the amount we raise.  This is our shot at showing just how unified we are in the face of a second Trump presidency — in the face of the so-called “leadership” that has soug…

NJ-09 is a new Frontline district. Here's what that means:

The GOP is coming after us.   John, this is Congresswoman Nellie Pou. I am the first Latina to represent New Jersey in Congress, one of 13 Democrats who won a district Donald Trump carried last cycle, and among the newest additions to the DCCC Frontline list.  If you don't have time to…

How we can protect our rights and freedoms 3 years after the Dobbs decision

  Three years, John.  It’s been three years since the conservative Supreme Court majority reversed Roe v. Wade, which had previously protected the constitutional right to an abortion for nearly 50 years. I am fighting to retake the Senate majority so that we can codify Roe v. Wade and…

It’s crunch time

  John, it’s crunch time.  Senate Republicans say they want to pass their tax bill by July 4th.  So what I’m going to do until then is point out the things that are absolutely outrageous about this bill — the things that make this fight not about right or left, but about right or wron…

A moral storm

Hold up your light.   In 2012, while Hurricane Sandy was decimating New Jersey, I spent one evening driving around looking for people who needed help.  Suddenly, in the dark of night, I saw a light coming through the top of the hill, swinging back and forth. As I got closer, I saw tha…

Bump

  Cory and our team are reviewing the responses to our recent Summer Survey, but we didn’t see your name on this list, John. The budget that the GOP is trying to force through the Senate would be disastrous for everyday families and our democracy, and Cory is using every tool at his d…

Juneteenth

  Happy Juneteenth, John. It’s a day when we celebrate the anniversary of June 19, 1865, where in Galveston, Texas, the Union Army Major General Gordon Granger issued General Order No. 3 proclaiming that, in accordance with the Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863, “all slaves…

There can be no justification for this

Why Mikie Sherrill is one of Trump’s top targets

  John, This year, Republicans are going all-in on New Jersey because we are one of the only states to elect our Governor this fall.  And they have reason to be optimistic —  in 2021, the New Jersey Governor’s race was decided by just 3 points, and 2024’s presidential race was the sma…
