I was outed by my Republican opponent. Will Rollins is now running to unseat him.

  Hi there, John, it's Mark Takano. I'm reaching out to ask you to chip in a $3 donation to Will Rollins’ campaign before his end-of-month deadline hits. Before I do, I want to be vulnerable for a moment, and share a personal story about my coming out experience. In 1994, my Republ…

I’ve had enough.

  Hello John, this is Mark Pocan -- Member of Congress from Wisconsin’s 2nd District and co-chair of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus. Sometimes the best way to expose Republican hypocrisy and bigotry is by confronting them head-on. That's exactly what I did earlier this week …

[Survey] Looking for your input on the recent Supreme Court rulings.

John, I know you’ve received a lot of messages this week, but this is the final time I’ll email you before our first public fundraising deadline of our 2024 campaign. It’s critical, John. And the honest truth is that we're still coming up just a little bit short of our online fundraising target.…

Are you free for a call? I’d like to say thanks.

re: Roe v. Wade
