As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”

Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

This is a massive flip: In 2021, the Republican incumbent won re-election by more than 60 points. Last night, Higgins won by 19 points.
