Don’t despair...

Friend -- The late Congressman John Lewis wasn’t just a colleague of mine -- he was a personal hero and source of constant inspiration. I admired his tenacious lifelong fight for equality and justice. Before he passed, I was fortunate enough to make many memories with hi…

56 years of the Voting Rights Act

Friend -- Today marks the 56th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. It’s one of our nation’s most significant civil rights achievements -- but 56 years later, here we are, still fighting to protect the fundamental right to vote for all Americans. Under the Vot…

Progress means having the right leaders in office

Hey team, In our last campaign, we faced some unique challenges: COVID-19, the economic downturn, and a national atmosphere consumed by some of the most intense political divisiveness we have seen in generations. They were all components working against us. But still, we…

A leader that puts people over partisanship

Team, Earlier this month, a Republican opponent officially announced his campaign. That means special interest groups, superPACs, and a wave of vitriol and divisiveness will soon enter this race -- but Antonio doesn’t let that impact him. He knows that this race isn’t …

Antonio is an ally and fighter for all LGBTQ+ Americans
