pride month

  John, Happy Pride month! Among the proudest moments I’ve had in Congress has been voting to pass the Equality Act twice. If passed by the Senate and signed into law, the Equality Act would prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, or sex…

Somebody is spending a lot of money in our district to keep prescription drug prices high

  John, For the second time this month, national special interest groups have launched TV ads in our congressional district. The target of their ominous ads and anger —besides me — is H.R. 3, the “Lower Prescription Drug Costs Now Act”. H.R. 3 is the bill that would give Me…

I wanted to bring this to your attention

  John, Recently, one of the most reputable election rating sites, Crystal Ball, announced that Abigail’s seat is currently considered a pure toss-up in 2022. This swing seat will be hard to defend, especially as dark money groups are already spending hundreds of thousands …

January 6th, 2021

  John,  On January 6th, 2021, violent insurrectionists attacked America’s Capitol building, and with it, they threatened American democracy writ large. Incited by lies and conspiracies about the results of the 2020 election, these rioters attacked police officers with bear…

Can I count on you?

  John, Our monthly fundraising deadline is tonight, and I want to take a moment to let you know why your contributions are so important. Before my election in 2018, Republicans held this seat for almost half a century. They are desperate to take it back in 2022, and they a…

🌱 Our first deadline is hours away 🌱

  John, In 2020, we won this election by fewer than two points. National Republican groups spent millions of dollars on ads attacking my campaign and me. Now, in the first quarter of 2021, they have already started running attack ads against me and phonebanking into our dis…
