You deserve more

  Hi friend, In a race with two Democrats going head to head, sometimes it can be hard for folks to decide who they plan to vote for. So, we figured it might be helpful if we broke down the two candidates and what they've been up to. (In case you don't want to scroll all the way dow…

Climate Change

  Friend, The climate crisis is accelerating -- and it’s time we address this issue as a nation. As we’re faced with high unemployment rates, record-breaking natural disasters, a housing crisis, and more, it’s time we address the deeply rooted inequities within the climate crisis. Mo…

Not your typical candidate

  Friend, You know, I'm not your typical congressional candidate. I didn't come from a family with money. I wasn't born into a network of connections to get me to high places. I come from a Mexican-American family who had to work three times as hard as others to get by -- because of …

Veterans

  Friend, Both Democrats and Republicans talk about how important our veterans are and how critical it is that we support them in this country. But far too often, it's all talk, no action. When I'm in Congress, I'll make sure we actually provide veterans with the services they need. …
