Your $1

John, Our mid-month fundraising deadline is tomorrow, and there’s something important I want you to know: The number of people on this team who chip in means much more to me than the amount of each donation. My team set a goal to bring in 100 grassroots contributions before our mi…

A catalyst

John, Every day, I’m reminded of the spirit, career, and legacy of the late Shirley Chisholm, who taught me an invaluable lesson: If you’re not invited to the table, you bring your own folding chair. In 1968, Shirley Chisholm became the first African-American woman to serve in Con…

Can we count on you, John?

John, Yesterday's certification of the election heralded the start of the 119th Congress, and already, we've gotten a taste of the challenges ahead. The GOP, at the insistence of Trump’s closest advisors like Elon Musk, nearly pushed our government to a shutdown right before the h…

I’ve been thinking

John, As we close out 2024, I've been thinking a lot about what we've accomplished together and the battles we still face. When I was first elected in 2018, I promised to be “unbought and unbossed,” like Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to Congress. Six years later…

Brown v. Board of Education
