Checking in with John.

  Hey there, John. It's Nate here -- Mike's finance director. I'm reaching out because TONIGHT marks our first end-of-quarter fundraising deadline of the 2022 midterms and, unfortunately, we’re coming up short of our goal. The truth is we’re relying on online grassroots fundraising …

Can you make sure your name is on this report, John?

  John -- As you probably already know, our first major FEC deadline of the year hits tonight at 11:59 pm. We set out to raise $35,000 in online contributions, and the good news is that we are well within reach -- only $12,084 left to raise. If you haven’t had the opportunity to con…

I’m reaching out to Mike’s supporters.

  I’ll get right to the point, John. I need your help with a $3 donation to Mike Levin’s campaign before his first FEC end-of-quarter deadline of the year comes to a close in 2 days. Here’s why: I’ve been in this position before: the White House, Congress, and the Senate all under…

There’s more progress to be made. Much more.

re: Georgia

Fighting for working families with the PRO Act

  John, Last week, Democrats in Congress voted to pass the PRO Act -- protecting the right to organize on the job. It strengthens protections for workers negotiating for higher wages, benefits, and safer working conditions. I’m proud to say I cosponsored the bill. If the COVID-19 pa…

McCarthy and Trump plan to take the House

“Conspiracy Caucus”

Bending the moral arc towards justice
