The ACA. Medicaid. Vaccines.
Driving up costs, cutting off care, and putting millions at risk. Health care is a right.
Trump and Republicans callous cuts have already created a health care crisis. Now they want to shutdown the government. I wonโt vote for a budget that abandons families. We need to protect careโnot cut it.

At the UN, Trump called climate change a โcon job.โ The only con is Trump himselfโa Big Oil sellout willing to sacrifice our planet for profit. We need climate action, not climate denial.

There are too few voices in the Senate ready to call out the greedy corporations rigging the game against working families. Thatโs why Iโm endorsing Lt. Governor @peggyflanagan.bsky.social's campaign for US Senate. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJbZ...
