The scary prospects of Artificial Intelligence

Friend, The rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence (also known as AI) has put us on the verge of a new era.  As its own creators are stating publicly with real concern, if AI is not properly regulated, it poses great risks to our society. It is imperative that we demystify th…

Holding Justice Clarence Thomas Accountable

Friend,   There’s a cherished tenet in American democracy that I have cited time and time again: No one – no matter how powerful – is above the law. Donald Trump’s ethical corruption of the executive branch was bad enough. Now, right-wing Supreme Court justices are undermi…

Time to make your voice heard

Friend, Today, WE – the American people – head to the polls to exercise our most fundamental democratic right: the right to vote. Once again, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support during my race for re-election. It’s the honor of my life to represent th…

Just stepped off the debate stage

Friend – I just stepped off the stage after debating my Trump-endorsed opponent. I was unsurprised that my opponent launched misleading and unfounded attacks against me, but here’s the truth I hope you’ll take to heart: I’m proud of the work I’ve done here to improve the lives of …

Quick but important update

We are mere weeks away from the most important midterm election in modern history – and with control of the Senate on the line, I’m currently being attacked with ads from a right-wing super PAC aligned with my opponent. We need to fight back right away – but I’m still $2,131 short…

What I'm up against:

new update

Last chance to give your input before Election Day (new survey enclosed)

This is it, Friend. Election Day is almost exactly one month away. The stakes couldn’t be higher: If Republicans flip just one Democratic seat, they’ll take back control of the Senate – where they’d use their majority to pass a nationwide ban on abortion and stop President Bi…

The GOP's new national abortion ban

Senate control depends on Florida

Friend, Democrats are operating with the most tenuous control of the Senate – split right down the middle at 50-50. So it is essential that Democrats do two things: protect every Democratic seat (like mine in Connecticut), and increase the number of Democratic senators in Con…
