Local media covered Democrats turning our Council blue and asked me for comment. My message post-election is the same as it was before it: When you have ideas that transcend party lines, they ring home to folks.

NEW: The backlash to Trump has been coming in big waves. Dems' sweep in last week’s elections. The 7 million people who turned out for “No Kings” protests.
But it's been fueling something else all year: a surge in young progressives signing up to run for office.

Had a friend text me and say, “Government is opening back up!”
My response was, “at what cost?”
Will my insurance skyrocket like I was told it will last week? Will federal workers get back pay? Or will Trump use the courts to fight that? Same goes for SNAP.
Folks are going to suffer still.

Cannot say enough good things about the inroads we have made here in my community and in rural PA. When your message is one of care and looking out for those you represent, the results speak for themselves.
EVEN in deep red rural PA.

Last week @runforsomething.net helped elect a socialist in Atlanta, a former Republican in rural PA & at least 122 others, (including 35 red to blue flips). We’ve been building the big tent - tight on values, flexible on policy, and most importantly, centered on community.

It is absolutely mortifying to see this administration consistently going after the most vulnerable in our communities. President Trump wants to make things go back to the states, well, state-level elections have never been more important.
I refuse to be silent on this.

Absolutely horrific events today in Utah. A wife lost her husband, children lost their dad, and parents lost a son. Politics take a back seat but the violence in today’s political climate has to stop across the board.

As the weather changes, it is great to get into the final months of my campaign. Door knocking, events, and continuing to have real, honest conversations will never stop being the best part of this process.
Once this is done, the real work starts, and I am even more excited to get to that.

Medicaid is not just a physical lifeline but an emotional one, a mental one. We need more people who just genuinely care for others like Zach running for public office at every level.

My county cannot afford to run buses all year. This Summer when the heat hit the triple digits I had to watch people walk to work from distances that varied from blocks to a mile or so.
Walking in that heat affects mental and physical well-being. This passing the state senate solves that issue.
