Right now, momentum is on our side.

john, Every day, the Trump administration goes on TV and tries to sell the country on how "great" everything is going. But here's the reality: the American people aren't buying it. A new poll from YouGov shows Democrats have their largest lead yet in the race for the House in 2026. That's n…

February is short, but I'm here for the long haul.

john, February may be short, but our work sure isn't slowing down. The pressure is only getting more intense as we head toward November— and we need to be ready to protect everything we've built together here in WA-08. But before I go any further: Can I count on you to chip in $5 ahead of o…

Tonight, our president will lie in the faces of the American people.

john, Tonight, Donald Trump will stand before the country for his State of the Union address and paint a "glowing" picture of America. He'll say the economy is booming, even though millions of families are still feeling squeezed every time they fill up their gas tank or check out at the grocer…

Our kids can't afford climate denial.

john, Climate change isn't some abstract debate happening in Washington, D.C.—it's the smoke that kept our kids indoors all summer, the heat waves that sent seniors to the ER, the floods and wildfires that have changed entire communities across Washington State. So when the President of the Un…

There's reality…then there's Trump's version of reality…

john, You've heard the message from the White House: the economy is booming. But the facts say otherwise: NBC NEWS: U.S. had almost no job growth in 2025 The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that U.S. employers added 181,000 jobs last year, far fewer than the 1.46 million jobs that were a…

We can feel the tide turning:

john, Across the country, in race after race, voters are sending a message—and it's getting louder. In Louisiana, Democrats just won a state House race by 24 points in a district Trump carried by double digits. In Texas, Democrats flipped a state Senate seat Republicans had held for nearly …

Trump's favorite puppet: Mike Johnson.

john, Tariffs are taxes. And right now, American families and small businesses are paying the price for Trump's tariff war. These tariffs are driving up costs, straining relationships with our allies abroad, and making it harder for small businesses to survive. Families are feeling it at the c…

No kings.

john, Presidents' Day was never meant to be a celebration of just one man. It's a reminder of something far more important: in America, we don't have kings. We have a Constitution. We have checks and balances, and we have a democracy built on the idea that no one— not even the president —is…

I ❤️ you, WA-08.

john, This Valentine's Day, I want to send a love letter—not to Washington, D.C., but to our home. To WA-08. During the colder months, there's nothing I look forward to more than cozying up with a book and a whole-milk latte, or relishing the magic of freshly fallen snow. I love the early m…

Counting the days until RFK Jr. resigns.

john, Today marks one full year since RFK Jr. was confirmed as Secretary of Health and Human Services. And to be frank, it's been a painful year to watch—especially for people who care about science, public health, and doing right by the American people. In just twelve months, we've seen co…

The GOP is bragging

House Speaker Mike Johnson went on Fox News this weekend feeling very confident, john. He bragged that Republicans are "raking in cash" and said he knows the GOP will hold their razor-thin House majority—and even grow it. In his own words: "We're going to have a war chest to run on." Mike Joh…

What kind of leader would Kim be if she didn't continue to show up during hard times?

john, No matter what is happening in Washington, D.C., Kim knows her first priority will always be the people of WA-08. And listening to the concerns of her constituents is a must if she's going to do her job right in Congress. That's why she has continued to hold town halls across the distric…

Do you agree Kristi Noem should be fired?

john, You already know how we feel: Kristi Noem has done an abysmal job leading the Department of Homeland Security. Her leadership has been reckless, and her decisions have put American lives at risk. She's militarized ICE and has caused widespread fear and panic. None of this is acceptable. …

In Trump's own words
