War, loss, and hardship didn’t break me—they made me fight harder. Now I'm fighting for you. I'm running for Congress to take back Missouri’s 2nd District from Ann Wagner, who’s tripled her net worth while selling us out. Stand with me: secure.actblue.com/donate/fw26_...

You don’t just grab the leader of a nation twice the size of Texas and declare victory. Have we learned nothing in the last 25 years? How does any of this improve the lives of Americans? Congress must act immediately! Do your jobs! @wellmanformo.bsky.social #teamwellman #venezuela #missouri #mo2

"There’s a disconnect between those who were elected to lead us, and those they’re leading."
I chat with Missouri's Fred Wellman about running for Congress as a veteran, the affordability crisis, and the need to reach more young men while representing everyone.

One thing I asked @fpwellman.bsky.social @wellmanformo.bsky.social about was how running as a veteran informs his campaign.
He said it does, obviously, but it’s not what he hears most about on the campaign trail.
Folks are worried about their kids—and their costs.👇

"If anyone asks why I am running for Congress, this is the answer:
I'm finished watching veterans used as symbols while their care is quietly dismantled. I'm done with elected officials who know better and say nothing."

While Missourians are worried about paying for Christmas and their skyrocketing energy and health insurance costs, Ann Wagner is working hard to help corporations avoid outside watchdogs and advisors for investors. She can’t be bothered to help the people that elected her. @wellmanformo.bsky.social

As Hanukkah begins, I’m holding our Jewish community close. The attack in Bondi Beach was horrific & we must stand firmly against all violence & forms of antisemitism.
This season of light should be a time of joy. May the menorah’s glow bring comfort, strength & hope.

After 22 years in uniform, mornings like this are a somber reminder of the friends we’ve lost and those who won’t be with their families this holiday season. Honored to join Wreaths Across America, fellow veterans & community members at Civil Air Patrol. May we always honor their memories.

My opponent has voted to cut benefits & weaken the VA. She has been silent as Secretary Doug Collins dismantles the healthcare system we rely on. She’s made life harder for the very veterans she claims to support. I won’t stand by & watch her do it again.

Ann Wagner & her party are set to hand Argentina $40 billion while telling American farmers to beg for scraps. They stood by & watched China walk away from U.S. soybeans, family farmers sell equipment to make ends meet & costs surge across the board.
They have failed our farmers.
