John’s opponent has millions to spend.

  Hi there, The November election is less than three months away, and John’s GOP opponent — with a bunch of help from Republican mega-donors, has nearly $2 million in his war chest to try and defeat John. This is only going to get more expensive as we get closer to November — which …

It’s the time of the year for us to ramp up. Here’s how. Hey there, John may be running for Congress, but his first love has always been service. In fact, he uses the same lessons he learned as a Marine in combat to influence his politics and decision-making.   And it’s really imp…
