RE: Looking back at 2022

We’re $7,000 short of our goal. Can you make a donation by midnight? With less than 24 hours left, Team Lucy is just $7,000 short of our end-of-year FEC fundraising goal. Can you pitch in $10 by midnight tonight to help get us there? Every bit counts. John, we hope you’re settling in for …

Looking back at 2022

Help me hit my end-of-year goals Dear John, What a year it’s been! With 2022 coming to a close, my team and I like to take the opportunity to look in the rearview mirror and reflect on the highs and lows of this trip around the sun. At the start of 2022, we had just learned that Georgia …

We need more Lucys and more Ayannas in Congress

Representation matters Hi John, My friend Rep. Lucy McBath and I have quite a bit in common. We both decided in 2018 that we were not going to “wait for our turn” to run for Congress. In 2018, we became two of the 23 Black women who served in the 116th Congress. Four years later, headin…

We’ll never forget

The tragedy at Sandy Hook was 10 years ago today Dear John, It was ten years ago today, but I remember it like it was yesterday. Ten years ago, a man walked into Sandy Hook Elementary School in a small town in Connecticut and murdered 26 people with an AR-15 rifle. Twenty of the victims …
