An important announcement

John, I wanted you to hear this news from me personally. After evaluating the new congressional map and the impact it will have not only on my race, but on the landscape we find ourselves in up and down the ticket, I have come to the difficult decision to end my campaign for Congress and focus on…

My experience as a doula

John, Two days ago, the U.S. Supreme Court began hearing a case to determine the constitutionality of abortion bans like the one passed in Texas this year. If anti-choice conservatives get their way, this could mean the beginning of the end of Roe v. Wade and legal access to abortion as we know it.…

Hi there John, did you see our email the other day about Ryan Zinke and Bears Ears? Our GOP opponent, who shrunk Bears Ears National Monument by 85% under the Trump Administration, called Biden’s protection of this special place a “radical, left wing” move. It just goes to show how out of to…
