That requires a YIMBY approach—targeted public investment paired with aggressive action against regulatory choke points and rent-seeking.

I am honored to earn the endorsement of Sally Yates. At a moment when our democracy is under attack and families are feeling the squeeze, Georgia needs principled leadership. I’m ready to fight for lower costs, expanded health care, and opportunity for every family.

I’ll never stop fighting for hardworking Ohioans.

1 year after the passage of the Social Security Fairness Act, I’m proud of the work that we’ve done to ensure that Ohio police officers, firefighters, educators, and other public servants receive all of the benefits they’ve earned.

I’m sending my deepest condolences to the family of former Gov. Jim Hunt, who was a true public servant. As Democrats, we can be proud of the legacy he left—he was a champion for North Carolinians, who fought to lift people out of poverty and improve public education.

"The landslide victories in Miami and Miami Beach did not happen by accident. They were the result of deliberate, sustained investment in municipal elections and year-round infrastructure." www.miamitimesonline.com/opinion/miam...
Miami and Miami Beach’s momentum wasn’t a blip. We built it.
A year ago, we were told the Democratic Party in Miami-Dade was finished. Instead of accepting that narrative, Miami-Dade Democrats did something different: we listened, we rebuilt, and we organized.
