Paul Dama's detention is devastating & unnecessary, and his absence is already felt in the #MA7.

In the six months since Trump won in November, 45k+ people have signed up to consider a run for office with @runforsomething.net -- that's officially more than the # of people who signed up with us in the first *three* years of Trump 1.0.
People are ready to fight back.
