A quick follow-up…

We just wanted to make sure you had a chance to read our last email, John. The Supreme Court's recent ruling on campaign finance law just gave Republicans and their biggest donors a huge advantage heading into November. That means protecting this Senate seat — and taking back the Senate majori…

The GOP just gained a new advantage.

AXIOS: GOP gets new midterm spending weapon from SCOTUS "The Senate GOP campaign arm won a major Supreme Court boost in the party's bid to hold congressional majorities on Tuesday. Why it matters: Republicans' reliance on mega-donors and their cash-flush committees positions them to benefit mo…

Are you ready to take back the Senate?

John, there's no way around it: Taking back the Senate is one of the most important things we can do this November. Donald Trump and Senate Republicans have been able to move their agenda forward with far too little accountability. From policies that raise costs for working families to attacks…

Chickens, Taylor Swift's dad, and the Constitution

John, If you've ever spent more than a few minutes with Chris, you know he's always ready with a fun fact about the First State, so we thought we'd share a few of his favorites. 🐔 #1: Delaware raises nearly 200 chickens per Delawarean every year. Agriculture is part of who we are, and our farm…

The 14th Amendment could not be clearer

‌John, the 14th Amendment could not be clearer. "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States." Those words are a promise our nation made in the aftermath of one of the darkest chapters in our history, affirming th…

A challenge and an obligation

‌John, 50 years ago, our nation celebrated its Bicentennial. On that day in 1976, I was a part of the Fourth of July gathering in Hockessin. It wasn't huge, but it was the heart of the town I grew up in. We had a parade, we had fire trucks, my Boy Scout troop marched, and I had the honor of playing…

It's time to end gun violence in America
