I’m proud to be endorsed by Justice Democrats and PAL PAC.

The only way we can fight fascism is with bold progressive ideas and accountability for all in power.

Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"
