Northeast Average Trump Approval Rating: 37.7%

West Coast Average Trump Approval Rating: 35.3%

Average of All Other US States: 49.3%

We are not the same. We do not share the same values. The US is falling apart at the seams.

We need our northeastern Governors to lead!

My campaign has been endorsed by the @sierraclub.org here in CT! As an organization rooted in naturalism with a mission to protect wildlife and wild places, this one means the world to me.

We're a party of truth, based in reason, science, and data. Don't take our word for anything - and don't take Trump's, either. Let's look at the question: how violent are the right and left?

As I walk Waterford (over 700 households reached and counting!), I'm hearing from residents about so many great ideas they'd like to see explored and implemented here in Waterford. So I'm going to highlight some of them with a new segment I'm calling "Community Concepts"!

Empathy isn't a weakness; it's one of my core values and part of what brings out the best in humanity. If reelected, I will continue to bring a lens of empathy to every meeting and every vote.

“It is absolutely outrageous and unAmerican to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will," Governor JB Pritzker said in a statement.

We're calling on the northeastern governors to begin drafting a path to autonomy NOW.

EVERY action helps - whether it's a share online or changing your schedule to be more active in demonstrations and political activity, it all adds up, and we need your help to take the next step towards autonomy for the northeast.

This isn't about party; this is about the emergence of distinct and diametrically opposed regional values and the failure of the entire federal system to address the issues facing residents or itself.

Our federal democracy is ailing; that makes it all the more important that our local politics be clean, open, and forthright.

Vote Josh Kelly on or before Nov 4 to support my vision for a transparent and accessible town government.

Trump's assertion that this is the fault of Democrats is laughable. Any regime that has to manufacture a scapegoat for actions that are clearly their responsibility is one that no longer deserves the trust or respect of the public.

Late last week, #Trump issued #NSPM7, focused on "countering domestic terrorism and organized political violence."

Trump's proclamation is #unconstitutional and underscores the cultural divide that requires us to seek autonomy.

Yesterday one of our four endorsed candidates, Josh Kelly, held the first in-person fundraiser ever thrown by a member of our party! Josh has been working hard to run a real grassroots campaign, and it paid off with great online traction, great attendance, and money and energy to fuel his campaign!

"Your countries are going to hell."

Trump continues to broadcast the worst of American etiquette, values, and narcissism out into the world.

We reject his policy, regime, efforts, and aims, unequivocally.
