If I had the money to do a bare bones campaign for anything, I would do this. Imagine the fun you could have. Clearly all the norms for campaigning have gone out the window. Anything goes. Are there any aspiring stand up comedians out there? This would be perfect for you!

#Gerrymandered and fired up? Fight back—run for office, even when the map is rigged. Can’t Win Victory Fund helps “can’tidates” in impossible districts make noise, grow the vote for up-ballot races and push for fair maps—and yes, we make it fun.

One child going hungry in America is one too many – this used to be a value we could all agree upon.
The Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans need to do their damn job and start delivering for the American people.
Enough is enough.
