Jack is in favor of: Charter schools, restricting access to voting (photo ID), keeping minimum wage low, lowering corp taxes, cutting budget 30% (we know what will get cut), anti-reproductive freedom, anti-clean energy, and wants NJDOGE. He is dangerous! Mikie Sherril is for NJ.

Los recortes presupuestarios de Ciattarelli afectarían a las personas mayores, las escuelas y la atención médica. ¿Pero los multimillonarios? Ellos se salvan. Eso no es responsabilidad fiscal, es crueldad. ¡Regístrese (o verifique su registro) HOY! #VOTENJ

🧓 Ciattarelli’s budget cuts would hit seniors, schools, and health care. But billionaires? They get a pass. That’s not fiscal responsibility—it’s cruelty

Register (or check your registration) TODAY! #VOTENJ

🛑 Jack Ciattarelli didn’t flinch when democracy was under attack Jan 6. He didn’t condemn the violence nor the lies that fueled it. Instead, he stood by Trump, echoed his rhetoric & refused to hold him accountable. Ciattarelli doubled down. That’s dangerous, not principled #VoteNJ for Mikie Sherrill

Aftyn’s victory is proof that grassroots power can win — she did this with people, not PACs. No dark money, no corporate strings — just neighbors, volunteers, and small-dollar donors who believe in democracy. Do not underestimate Tennesseans!

Good on Kelly & Gallego!

Johnson is holding the country hostage. Arizona sent Adelita Grijalva to represent them, but Johnson’s refusing to swear her in until he gets his way on the shutdown. Blocking a duly elected member is fascist blackmail.
Ripping away healthcare while obstructing justice.

There are Special Elections in lots of states.
I’m starting with one that isn’t happening until Dec 2 because it would be the biggest, most impactful flip - US House TN 07.

To those poor people that have had their lives turned upside down and forever changed - I'm so so sorry you had to go through this because national GOP leaders have decided protecting the gun industry's profits is more important than protecting you.

Movements take time. We must be relentless.

It took decades before the NRA succeeded in changing the public understanding of 2A from a group right into an individual right.
