We must protect voting rights

In 2021, we saw hundreds of bills introduced across the country intended to make it more difficult for folks to cast their ballots. In fact, right here in Texas, Governor Abbott signed a bill that makes it harder to vote by mail, limits early voting and gives partisan poll watchers free movement i…

It’s simple

If we defend our House Majority and expand our Senate Majority, we know Democrats will prioritize legislation that will codify a woman’s right to choose, expand voting rights, and combat the climate crisis. It’s pretty simple, John. If we defend our House Majority and expand ou…

We will stop extremism together

We don’t need to explain to you how important it is that Democrats win the midterms and protect our majorities in November. You know what’s at stake. These past two years have shown us that Democrats can and will fight for the American people with our majorities so long as we stick together. But w…
