Benefits have expired. The pandemic hasn't.

DelBene for Congress John, Last week, the Senate let federal COVID-19 benefits expire. Enhanced unemployment benefits? Expired. Federal eviction protections? Expired. Small business relief? Expired. The help and assistance millions of Americans were counting on expired -- and the Senate did no…

Grateful

DelBene for Congress John -- Our fundraising goals are modest, but that makes them no less important. And not only did we meet last month's goal, we exceeded it. I am, once again, blown away by your unwavering support. And it means a lot. We are just two days away from our 7-way primary, whic…

We can't coast

DelBene for Congress John -- At Team DelBene we have one big rule: We don't coast. Far too often, incumbents get complacent. They take their constituents' support for granted. They don't face serious challengers. And so things slide -- they don't reach out to the community as much. They don't …

It feels different because it is different

DelBene for Congress John -- As we near the end of the month, we're creeping towards another fundraising deadline. Except this end-of-month goal feels a little different than most -- and it's not just because we're less than a week away from the primary. It feels different because the past few …

We have to chase down every vote, John

DelBene for Congress John, In one week, Washingtonians will cast their final ballots in our crowded, 7-way primary election. That means that this is our final fundraising deadline before we go head-to-head with six other candidates (including two Republicans). From helping our small businesse…

Here's who's going to get Mitch out of office, John

DelBene for Congress John, do you want to ditch Mitch McConnell? I sure do. Amy McGrath recently won the Democratic primary in Kentucky -- and a poll shows her with a one-point lead on Mitch McConnell. Let's help Amy McGrath break this lead wide open and ditch Mitch McConnell -- chip in $3 or …

Why won't Republicans help the American people?

DelBene for Congress John -- $1,200 isn't enough. Rent just came due on July 1st. Many of the moratoriums on evictions are being lifted. Our expansion of unemployment is set to expire. And millions are still unemployed. This crisis isn't over -- far from it. People here in Washington and acr…
