The underdog

  JOHN, I’m Carl Marlinga and I’m running for Congress in MI-10. In a moment, I’m going to ask you to rush $5 or whatever you can towards our critical fundraising goal. But first, I want to reflect on how far we’ve come since 2022: Back then, I was a first-time candidate running ag…

  JOHN – Our first mid-month fundraising deadline of 2024 is almost here, so in a minute I'll ask you to contribute to my campaign. But first, can I explain why? Pundits have called John James the most vulnerable Republican up for re-election and it's not hard to see why. My far-ri…
