what kind of terrible message...?

John, With the Republicans passing several hateful anti-LGBTQ bills around the country - like the new ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill in Florida - we’re asking what kind of terrible message are they sending? The LGBTQ community, and especially our youth, need our acceptance and support. They …

Ron Johnson just admitted the truth

John, If you have any doubt about what the Republicans want to do if they win back a majority in Congress this year, all you have to do is ask Senator Ron Johnson… he just admitted they’re going to try and repeal Obamacare again! I thought we already went down this road before?? …

we need to talk about our kids’ mental health

John, Today I want to shine light on a critical issue that’s not being talked about enough - our kids’ mental health. I can’t tell you how many times a parent has pulled me aside at an event recently to share a story about how their child is struggling. They do it privately because…

A Supreme Court that reflects America

John, It is long past time that we had a Supreme Court that reflects the full talents and greatness of our nation. Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson has had an exceptional career and has seen all sides of the justice system up close - as a federal judge, a public defender, and with family…

We’re running a female-led campaign!

John, Today on International Women’s Day, as we celebrate women’s achievement I’m reminded how much of an honor it is to lead Josh’s campaign. Campaigns are notoriously an “old boys network” and I’m so proud Josh does it differently. Here I am, a young latina woman running one of th…

the UN’s latest climate report is scary

John, Did you see the UN’s latest climate report? It predicts that climate change is rapidly getting worse, and will cause devastating human suffering, unless we take immediate action. This won’t be a shock to people here in the Central Valley - we’re already feeling the disastrou…

what Marjorie Taylor Greene did at SOTU

John, I thought President Biden gave a great State of the Union address. In fact, he hit on a bunch of the issues you all told me you wanted him to cover like defending democracy, tackling climate change, and lowering costs for our families. And then, this happened: Marjorie Tay…

thoughts on the State of The Union?

Hi John, Are you planning on watching President Biden’s State of the Union address tonight? I’ve been fortunate enough to attend two State of the Union addresses so far and both times I’ve left incredibly humbled to hold this job. This year’s speech comes at a very difficult time f…

time flies

Hey everyone, it’s Josh. Tonight is our big fundraising deadline for February. I will admit February has flown by, especially as we count down the days to our baby’s due date. It’s a bit of a whirlwind knowing that once baby arrives, the election will be quickly creeping up on us as…

saying the quiet part out loud

John, As you get to know me, you’ll learn I’m a pretty direct person (why waste time beating around the bush??). So here’s the truth - We’re up against a lot this year. Our majorities in both the House and Senate are razor thin. We know that parties usually lose dozens of seats, if …

Twitter fights that actually matter

a double whammy

John, Yesterday, we told you one of the GOP’s largest Super PACs attacked Josh online. Now, the National Republican Congressional Committee put out a new press release calling Josh a “nightmare” - which is ironic because he’s our best shot at preventing a nightmare. If there was a…

My vote to impeach Donald Trump

John, We've had a year to reflect on Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial. My vote to impeach the former President wasn’t something that I took any glee in, but I believe our democracy only works when the public can trust the people they elect. Donald Trump violated the Constit…

My thoughts on Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger
