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…

  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…
