If we’re being honest

Hey - I had an extra few minutes this morning so I wanted to share some thoughts with you. Here’s the truth:  No matter why you are reading this, I am thankful for you. People like me don’t often make it to Congress. I’m the son of Latino immigrants, who, with my three sisters, was raised by my sin…

I'm sweating

I'm sweating, John.  And it's not just because of the Texas heat. It's because August has been really slow for fundraising.  I know, we just reported our record-breaking fundraising numbers and everyone from CNN to FiveThirtyEight says we can win this race.   But our incredible start to this race m…

John, Earlier this year, Kevin McCarthy took up the resolution attacking me for holding Trump accountable.  After Trump threatened a primary challenge against any Republican who refused to vote for it, MAGA Republicans officially passed their resolution to censure me.

Not your typical Senate campaign

John, if there’s one thing you need to know about our Senate race, it’s that MAGA Republicans see no greater threat to their power than yours truly. Just look at how they’ve reacted in the last six months since we announced this campaign:  As soon as Kevin McCarthy had scraped by in the Speaker ele…

Time to take the gloves off

Hey there, it's David Hogg, gun safety advocate and co-founder of March For Our Lives. Many of our elected officials can be described as one word: Cowards. Our kids, our planet, our freedoms, our democracy — are all under attack by far-right extremists, from the State House to the U.S. Senate, who …

Unless we band together and fight back, nothing is going to change

Hey John — it’s David Hogg, gun safety advocate and co-founder of March For Our Lives.   The GOP and conservative special interest groups have been playing a 50-year chess game to elect far-right extremists to every level of government to manipulate our country and attack our rights and freedoms. …

re: Jim Jordan

John,  Right after it was announced that the twice-impeached, disgraced former president Donald Trump was indicted, Republicans sprang into action.  First, they issued statements of feigned indignation or issued threats via Twitter. Jim Jordan tweeted, “Outrageous.” Speaker Kevin McCarthy said, “th…

everything is riding on Texas

John: This race is bigger than defeating Ted Cruz. Our Democratic Senate majority and the White House are on the line in 2024.  The future of our democracy and so many of our fundamental rights, from voting to reproductive freedom, depend on Democrats winning. Unfortunately, the 2024 Senate map stro…

Obscene

John,  In a single night earlier this year, Kevin McCarthy raised an astounding $12.3 million from a collection of donors from Big Pharma, the fossil fuel industry, and other corporate interests.  It just goes to show everything that’s broken in Washington.  We have a terrible system of campaign fi…

re: Ted Cruz and Book Bans

I've always been a big reader. Growing up, my world was pretty small. I used to treat our local bookstore like a library, sitting there for hours, reading books cover to cover because I didn't have the money to buy them.  Reading opened my eyes to new perspectives, far-off places, and different car…

Can I explain something?

John,  In a moment, I’m going to ask if you can pitch in to support Southern Progress and my campaign for U.S. Senate ahead of our fundraising deadline. But first, can I explain why this deadline is so important? Just hours before I announced my campaign, Kevin McCarthy removed me from the Intellig…

humbly asking

John, I recently launched my campaign to defeat Ted Cruz, and already, tens of thousands of people have chipped in to become Founding Donors of this campaign. But our first public fundraising deadline of the campaign is coming up, and we’re still short of our $750,000 goal. So I’m personally askin…

But I do know that where Trump goes …

massive victory in Ohio

This is incredible news, John! Ohioans came out strong in yesterday’s special election to STOP an anti-democratic amendment and clear special interest power grab – which would’ve made it harder for us to enshrine reproductive rights in our state constitution this November. Seeing Ohio voters turn o…

Jon Tester’s race is NUTS!!

Hey folks, James Carville here. Jon Tester’s race is NUTS!!  We already know the Senate majority will come down to Montana—and if we don’t keep Jon Tester in the Senate, Democrats can kiss their majority goodbye!  In my expert opinion, this is the most important election in the country. That’s why …
