Jamaal’s got the momentum

John, we just heard some fantastic news: This last quarter, Jamaal Bowman out-raised entrenched incumbent Eliot Engel in New York’s 16th district. This proves that momentum and the people are on Jamaal’s side. But Eliot Engel still has a war-chest of corporate PAC contributions at his dispos…

Eliot Engel is terrified of AOC

John, we almost can’t believe this: In a candidate forum today, Eliot Engel said this about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsing his opponent, Jamaal Bowman: "This is not a dictatorship. This is a democracy. We shouldn't have one person, from high, even though she's a colleague of mine, think…

BREAKING: "If I didn't have a primary, I wouldn't care."

John, this is outrageous. Eliot Engel was just caught on tape saying: “If I didn’t have a primary, I wouldn’t care” in regards to a call for peaceful protests in New York. We are sick and tired of politicians who only decide to do their jobs when they think they'll lose their seat. We need a…

Standing up to the billionaire class

Please don’t have regrets, John

John, One thing we’ve learned these past few years is that every single win is going to have to be hard fought. We have to leave it all on the field in each race. In January, a new Congress gets sworn in. I don’t want to look back with any regrets that I could have done more to elect a new…
