John,   I've got some important news to share with you about abortion rights in Idaho, and I need your help to make a difference.   You may have heard that Idaho now has one of the most extreme abortion bans in the entire country. It's so extreme that we…

John,   Today, for World Suicide Prevention Day, I need to share something deeply troubling with you about how my opponent is putting young people’s lives in the balance.   Here’s the background.   The first anti-trans sports bill in the nation was passe…

John,   Today, my grandmother Lucile turns 107! Born in 1917, she entered a world where women couldn't even vote.    Now, a century later, she's watching Republicans try to erase the progress she's witnessed in her lifetime.   This woman is my hero, and I…

John,   A lot of folks ask me why I “bother” running for Congress as a Democrat in a red state like Idaho.   It’s very simple – I’m a Democrat, and this is my home.   I know there are people just like me, whether they see themselves as Democrats, Republi…

John, I’m only joking.   Those matches aren’t real. They’re a fundraising gimmick used to trick you into donating. I’ve never tried that because I believe in running an honest campaign and being an honest lawmaker if I win.   I’ll keep this short: we’re s…

John,   You might not have thought about it this way before, but many Americans are struggling thanks to zip code discrimination. Let me explain.   The quality of your child’s education and the funding their school gets? Based on the property tax in the …

John,   We are fired up from our week at the Democratic National Convention, and from all of the lessons we took away from the folks we met there. But as much as I hate to say it, the trip also came with a major downside.   The costs to attend the DNC we…

John,   We are living in a critical moment in history, one that could have dire consequences for the future of our nation.   But here’s the good news: I truly believe that Democrats are more united than we’ve seen at any other time in the past decade. At…

John,   We have a real shot at stopping Trump, preventing Project 2025, and saving democracy this year. I’d even say we’re in a much better position now than we were a year ago.   But on the local and state level, the situation has only gotten worse.   T…

John,   I am very excited to share that I just received the endorsement of the Committee to Protect Health Care, a national organization of over 20,000 doctors and healthcare advocates across the country!    The Committee to Protect fights to expand heal…

John,   The Associated Press has identified more than 100 pregnant women in physical distress who were refused help by emergency rooms since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.    The story includes women who were told to go home despite bleeding a…

John,   There are three potential outcomes from this election.   Trump could win. Don’t ask me how, but he’s done it before.   If he does, then Kevin Roberts, Russell Vought, and the other extremists behind Project 2025 will help Trump completely reshape…

John,   First, I have to say that I am thrilled by Kamala Harris’s choice to tap Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate.    Minnesota is ranked among the top three happiest states in the country, and much of that is thanks to Walz passing progressiv…

John,   If you’ve been online the past couple days, I’m sure you’ve seen the attacks on Algerian Olympic boxer Imane Khelif.   Republicans are claiming that Khelif is actually transgender and using her win against Italian boxer Angelina Carini to push fe…

John,   Did you know that of all of our thousands of supporters across the country, only about 1,000 see David’s emails the same day he sends them?   That’s true for a lot of campaigns, so if you’re reading this on Wednesday, THANK YOU for being one of o…

John, I spent Saturday at the Bonneville County Democrats’ annual summer picnic with voters and Democrats running for local office.    There’s an expression I heard from one of the attendees that I’m sure you’ve heard before, too.   “They say ‘democracy i…
