short

  Folks -- I’m going to keep this short. Our final quarterly FEC deadline before the election is tonight.  I am coming to you directly to ask: Will you chip in $10 or more to ensure we have the resources to get out the vote before early voting begins on October 13? Anything you can gi…

Wednesday deadline

  Team – The final FEC end-of-quarter deadline of this election is in two days.  We have a lot of work to do between now and then to ensure Henry has the resources he needs to get out the vote and win his race. Early voting begins in just two weeks, so if you’ve been waiting to get in…

Re: Trump's Supreme Court nominee

  Four years ago, Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans set the precedent that a new Supreme Court justice should not be confirmed during an election year. That precedent was upheld to block President Obama’s nominee, Merrick Garland, from filling the vacancy left by the death of Jus…

Justice Ginsburg's final wish

  Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s parting words for our nation, “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed,” is a request that we must do everything in our power to carry out. If a Trump nominee is confirmed to the Supreme Court before the el…

Justice Ginsburg

  Friends, While we reflect and pay our respects to the life of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, we are reminded of the magnitude of her life’s work and the legacy imprinted on the nation and its people. Justice Ginsburg was a giant, a champion of gender equality who dedicated her life’s …

The Violence Against Women Act

  Friend, The federal policy created to protect victims of domestic violence expired nearly two years ago, and the bipartisan decision to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) passed in the House 531 days ago. It’s long overdue for the Senate to act. Sign my petition to de…

Henry stands against Trump

  Almost three years ago to the day, Henry met with President Donald Trump at the White House to tell him directly why the border wall is an ineffective and wasteful use of taxpayer dollars. Henry successfully fought against border wall funding and recommended that funds be allocated …

firefighters and first responders

  Firefighters put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe. They go in to work not knowing who’s home or business they will be called to help, and in the face of danger, they bravely and selflessly work to keep us safe at any time, day or night. I know that I feel comfort kn…

Protect Dreamers
