Down... but not out.

  John, The election results in Virginia were a deep disappointment. I cannot and will not sugar coat that. And thank goodness we pulled out the win in New Jersey. The party of every President since George H.W. Bush has lost both states’ governors races during their first term and we …

Virginia is close. Too close.

  John — It’s officially Election Day in Virginia and Terry McAuliffe’s race for governor is coming down to the wire. Right now, he’s in a dead heat against Donald Trump’s handpicked candidate Glenn Youngkin. Polls are tied, and some have the Republican candidate up by a few points. W…

Re: Virginia gubernatorial election

  John, Just hours remain until the Election Day polls open in Virginia’s dead heat gubernatorial race between Donald Trump-endorsed Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin and former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe. With time short and so much on the line, I’ll keep this brief. But know th…

This is important

  John, I’ll keep this brief: Our end-of-month fundraising deadline is just hours away, and we’re still not quite where we need to be to reach our crucial goal. We’ve seen Republicans fearmonger and stoke division leading into Tuesday’s elections in Virginia and New Jersey, and that’s…

Boo! Kevin McCarthy as Speaker!

  This Halloween, don’t let this nightmare – Kevin McCarthy becoming Speaker – become a reality: Kevin McCarthy must never, ever become Speaker of the House, and take the gavel away from Nancy Pelosi. The man who went to Mar-a-Lago to grovel at Trump’s feet only weeks after the insur…

Less than 48 hours

  John, Nearly one year out from the midterm elections, we’re beginning to get a clear idea of what we’re up against in the effort to protect our House and Senate majorities. This time around, it’s not just Donald Trump’s fundraising machine. Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, and the G…

We need to catch up

  John — I wanted to catch you early before kicking off your Halloween plans (hopefully more treats than tricks!) to talk about tomorrow’s important fundraising deadline. It’s our first deadline of the new FEC quarter, and we are in great need of your help, as GOP energy surges up ahe…

Over a dozen Democratic House seats up for grabs

  John, Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott just signed an extreme gerrymander of the state’s 38 congressional districts into law. It’s hyper-partisan and aims to remove several Democratic seats from Texas for the next decade. Voting rights groups are already challenging this in court f…

I thought more people would be worried

  I thought more people would be concerned that my uncle, Donald Trump, could make a comeback in 2024 and win the presidency again. I thought that after four years of having the most dangerous man in America in the Oval Office, people would do whatever it takes to make sure he doesn’t…

Here’s why your contribution matters:

  John, I want to tell you why your support to our campaign – even $3 – matters, especially right now: — Last election, my opponent, aided by allies of President Trump, raised over $4 million to defeat me. – We are expecting another expensive race in the coming months, as Trump once a…

Take a second to get an update on where we’re at   Hey John — We promise we’ll make this quick. Our team is just 7 days out from the first end-of-month deadline of the new FEC quarter. This is the last quarter before 2022 – and the last quarter before an election year. And to be honest…

We need the Women’s Health Protection Act

  John, Roe v. Wade was decided almost 50 years ago, and in the decades since, we’ve seen the right to an abortion challenged, criticized, and attacked over and over again. Republicans have advanced a malicious private right of action scheme to prevent women from having autonomy over …

The truth about this grassroots team

Trump rally in Iowa today

He attacked me personally two weeks ago at his rally in Georgia and I wouldn’t be surprised if he does it again today.   John, Donald Trump is on his way to Iowa for his next rally right now. All signs are pointing toward a third Trump presidential campaign in 2024, and his Iowa rally …

Say it with me: Abolish. The. Filibuster.

Holding the president accountable no matter who is in office

  John, Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election saved our democracy — but without strong legislative reforms, that lifeline may only be temporary. Donald Trump’s time in the White House took a devastating toll on our democracy. On the rule of law. And on the truth. All because of one…

The Freedom to Vote Act

An embarrassment to our country

  John, Donald Trump’s path back to the White House depends on delegitimizing our democracy — and with his Republican base, it appears to be working. A CNN poll out this week showed that 59% of self-identified Republicans say “believing that Donald Trump won the 2020 election” is impo…
