An update on my campaign

Hi friend,  I wanted you to be one of the first to know I'm ending my campaign for CA-47 today. I recently suffered a moderate traumatic brain injury, and on the advice of my doctors and talking with my family, I’ve decided to end my campaign.  First and foremost, I want to say thank you.   It has …

The elephant in the room

Friend,  On Monday, the United Nations released a distressing report on the rate of climate change. The key takeaway is without swift action, the world will cross the threshold of catastrophic warming in the next ten years — leading to the loss of millions of lives due to climate disasters. Reports…
