Marking Juneteenth.

‌Happy Juneteenth, John! Today is an opportunity to celebrate progress and reflect on our history, including the fact that the United States was built on the labor of enslaved Black Americans. It wouldn't be until June 19, 1865, when the final Black men and women were freed in the Confederate sta…

We're coming off an incredible re-election launch!

‌John, last week, we officially launched Chris's re-election campaign, and we couldn't be more grateful for your support! Since Donald Trump returned to office, he's governed with chaos, corruption, and cruelty. The GOP has been all too happy to follow his lead. In the current GOP-controlled Sena…

It's official: I'm running for reelection

‌John, Our country is at a crossroads. Donald Trump is taking us down a path of no return – where war, instability, and corruption are at the front of his agenda – making it more difficult for us to pay our bills and build a better future. There’s a lot of things that could be done to help peo…

Wildly unqualified

Galatians 6:2

‌John, Galatians 6:2 tells us: “Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” Leadership is not about power for its own sake. It is not about feeding our own ambitions, protecting our own status, or serving those who already have the loudest voices and deepest po…

‌John, Scripture reminds us in Micah 6:8 that we are called "to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God." And in Galatians 6:2, we are told: "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." I think about those verses when I reflect on public…

“Not even a little bit”

The question was simple…

John, Last week, Chris asked one of Donald Trump’s judicial nominees a simple question: Does the Constitution allow Donald Trump to run for a third term? It wasn’t a trick question, because the Constitution is clear: Presidents can only run for two terms. Unsurprisingly, Trump's pick refused t…

Donald Trump is a sore loser

Instead of accepting the will of the American people, he's …
