35 hospitals closing in Kentucky?

KyPolicy: Kentucky Faces the Nation’s Highest Number of Rural Hospitals at Risk of Closure if Congress Cuts Medicaid Friends, I understand the often nightmarish trials of navigating our healthcare system. My family experienced these challenges firsthand when our twins were born premature, and gett…

all the motivation we need

If you needed any extra motivation to help Democrats flip the House in November, John, Mike Johnson just gave us all the reason in the world: “If we lost the Midterms… If we lost the majority in the House, it would be the end of the Trump presidency in a real effect.” — House Speaker Mike Johnson …

Fight billionaires. Tip your waitress.

What’ll you have, John? I’m running for Congress, but I haven’t stopped waitressing here in Eau Claire. I’ve been serving since I was a teenager – helping to put myself through school and make ends meet. I love this job, and I think there’s real dignity in hospitality work. I also believe the les…

The Republican trifecta's time in control is over

Hi John, It’s Morgan McGarvey and I’m one of the recruitment co-chairs at the DCCC. I know firsthand how important strong candidates are to winning elections. That’s why I’m writing to you now to ask you to support these 12 Red to Blue Democrats. Here’s why these races are so important: [[link remo…

John, what if I told you that polls show that Democrats have a strong chance to retake the House? And what if I told you that retaking the House is the best thing we can do to stand up to Trump? What if I told you that in order to flip the House, we need to flip red seats and defend blue ones like…

three things we need to do to retake the House in November

Retaking the House in November won’t be easy, but it’s the most important thing we can do this cycle to fight back against Trump and the GOP. To flip the House blue, we must execute these 3 objectives: 1) We need to make our case to the American people. Trump’s policies are unpopular, and we n…

I voted against DHS funding — I’ll explain why

When Republicans gave ICE a blank check last year, DHS and ICE used it to terrorize our communities, separate families, use kids as bait, trample our rights, allow 37 people to die in their custody, and even kill American citizens in broad daylight. What ICE is doing in Minneapolis and across the c…

I’m sorry to bug you on a Saturday, John, so in the spirit of keeping things brief, I’ll keep this email to just 5 sentences ( that’s one ). January has been a rough month for fundraising, but we have a chance to end things on a high note to regain some steam heading into February. Our monthly fun…

Sign the Petition: Remove Kristi Noem NOW

Enough is enough, John. Another American citizen has been murdered on the streets of Minneapolis by federal agents, and we’ve gotten more of the same from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem: Hateful, disgusting lies and a complete lack of empathy or compassion. At every turn, Kristi Noem has proven to be …

53 years later, we’re still fighting for reproductive justice

Friends, today marks 53 years since the Supreme Court ruled in favor of reproductive freedom with its landmark Roe decision. But thanks to Trump packing the Court with far-right, anti-choice judges, SCOTUS stripped women of their bodily autonomy when they overturned Roe back in 2022. Let’s get one…

2026 will be the year Democrats retake the House, John, but only if we’re all willing to put in the hard work necessary to pull off a win like this. It’s going to take patience, resilience, teamwork, and a solid game plan. As Recruitment Co-Chair of the DCCC, my team and I are working on our 2…

Trump’s tariffs are hurting Kentucky’s bourbon industry

The worsening effects of Trump’s tariffs and ridiculous trade wars can be felt every time you go to the grocery store, buy something online, or even buy a cup of coffee. Here in Kentucky, Trump’s tariffs are taking a heavy toll on our bourbon industry, one of the cultural and economic backbones of …

It’s not an exaggeration to say that 2026 is one of the most important elections of our lifetimes. John, I know it’s tough when every election cycle carries such high stakes with it. But that’s the unfortunate reality of having a dangerous megalomaniac in the White House and one of our two maj…

RFK Jr. is dangerous

From corrupt Attorney General Pam Bondi to the woefully unqualified “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth, it can be tough to pick the worst of Trump’s Cabinet. But RFK Jr. sure makes a compelling case as the worst of the worst, John. I’m committed to flipping the House in 2026 to put a check on Tru…
