Another shock poll

Paid for by Leaders We Deserve
We’ve got to give this everything we’ve got, Texas. John, look at this: Eight weeks ago, this same poll had us trailing Greg Abbott by 6 points. Today, that gap is down to 1. This is a completely separate survey than the Fox News poll that just broke — Texas Pulse, conducted by Texas A&M’s Bush Scho…

Patrick Roath is ready to lead

Paid for by Leaders We Deserve
Patrick Roath is taking on an entrenched incumbent — and he needs our help before September 1. John, For years, the Democratic Party has asked working people for their votes while refusing to truly fight for them when it matters most. That’s exactly why Leaders We Deserve is proud to support Patrick…

What we’re building together

Paid for by Leaders We Deserve
With young, progressive leaders, we’re setting a precedent for what’s possible in American politics. John, What we’re building together is bigger than one election.

Our third birthday

Three years ago, Leaders We Deserve was built around a simple belief. John, Three years ago, Leaders We Deserve was built around a simple belief: The greatest threat to American democracy longterm is not Donald Trump, it is the hopelessness that empowered him.

We’re coming for these seats

Paid for by Leaders We Deserve
We have less than 90 days to break the GOP’s grip on power. Here’s where we’re fighting: John, We talk a lot about primarying asleep-at-the-wheel Democrats in safe blue seats — and we’re not going to stop doing that work. But there’s another side to what we’re building at Leaders We Deserve: we’re g…

An update on our fight.

Where things stand heading into November

Paid for by Leaders We Deserve
John, it’s official: Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is Michigan’s Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate. This campaign started with a simple belief: that it shouldn't be this hard, in the richest country in the world, to see a doctor, or pay your bills, or believe your kids will have it better than you did.
