But these attacks on workers, on immigrants, on our democracy—are having just the opposite effect. They’re moving people into action in a whole new way.

Families in the 2nd Congressional District are hurting. They are demanding we have fighters who have a history of getting big things done.

I’ll fight alongside Bernie Sanders for our working class communities.
