what’s at stake in 2022

  Hi John, As we start the new year, I’d like to take a moment and reflect on just what is at stake heading toward November 2022.   The Build Back Better agenda is a top priority for House Democrats, and I will continue to use every resource available to ensure America’s worki…

RE: One of my favorite organizations
