Grateful this holiday season for everyone supporting our campaign. Families are being squeezed, trust in government matters, & NE Florida deserves serious leadership. I’m running to lower costs & restore integrity. If you can, pls chip in and help us build momentum.

A real healthcare insurance bill a supporter sent us -- showing the astronomical increase in premiums. Her monthly payment is going up 353% --- 3.5 times! Thank @RepAaronBean and Republicans in Congress for this outrage. Americans deserve affordable insurance!

“They want us to be overwhelmed. They want us to become benumbed to the mounting horror. They want us to think their success is inevitable & there’s nothing we can do about it. This is how they win. It’s our job in the coming year to prove how wrong they are.”

A small but telling moment today: while a handful of Republicans broke ranks to join Democrats on a discharge petition to force a vote on extending ACA subsidies, most of the GOP conference stayed put — including @RepAaronBean. Politics Won. Constituents didn't!

A police stop is enough to make someone less likely to vote, recent research has found. "Voting is a reflection of our belief that we’re part of the system, that our voice matters."
A Police Stop Is Enough to Make Someone Less Likely to Vote
New research shows how the communities that are most heavily policed are pushed away from politics and from having a say in changing policy.

Open enrollment is in full swing, and Americans across the country are seeing their health care premiums go up, up and up.

If Republicans wanted to help struggling families, they would work with Democrats to extend the ACA tax credits.

But we’re still waiting…

In many countries outside the U.S., those with higher levels of social trust are also more likely to view several international organizations positively.
