The Bench

Changing the status quo of the Democratic Party by electing authentic leaders.

[The Bench @ElectTheBench]

As a 35-year Navy veteran and proven independent, Nancy Lacore has the credibility that career politicians simply don’t have.

That’s exactly why she’s putting #SC01 — a seat Trump won by 13 points — in play this November.

If Democrats want to improve our margins among working-class voters, we need to run more working-class candidates.

You can't fake the lived experience that candidates like Josh Turek and Sarah Trone Garriott have.

Mike Lawler’s disastrous record includes:
- Voting to ban states from regulating AI for 10 years.
- Voting to give data center developers $80 billion in tax breaks + voting to make it easier to build them.

As your member of Congress, I will:
- Enact guardrails on AI to ensure it doesn’t pose a threat to our national security.
- Take on Mike Lawler’s Big Tech and trillionaire backers to prevent these data center developers from exploiting our communities, harming our environment, and jacking up our utility rates.

Live from the bus:

The corruption and chaos in D.C. do not reflect our values.

In every corner of Alaska, you can feel it – people are fed up and ready to vote for a senator who works for them.

Now’s our chance. Grab your family, grab your neighbors, and make your plan to vote by November 3!

Sundays are about having barbacoa and Big Red with the family. But these days, everything is so expensive, and Carlos De La Cruz is making it worse.

I'm running because it shouldn't be this hard to make it to Sunday.

Blake Gendebien isn't running on revenge. He's laser-focused on bringing down food and gas prices, fixing our relationship with Canada, and protecting rural healthcare.

Because families in #NY21 need relief from the cost of living, not another Washington impeachment fight.

[Bob Brooks @VoteBobBrooks]

Eight months ago today, Trump dragged us into a war of choice with Iran, and Ryan Mackenzie has backed him every step of the way.

Six times, Mackenzie had the chance to vote to rein Trump in. And six times, he voted no.

Gas prices are through the roof, and Trump is bragging about the fortune being made off this needless war.

Mackenzie had the power to stand up to Trump and chose not to. It’s about time we had a Congressman who will.

“Voters want independent thinkers who aren’t political insiders. That’s what I represent.”

Nancy Lacore spent 35 years in uniform. As an admiral in the Navy, she fought for her sailors and delivered for them. Now she’s heading to Congress to do the same for #SC01.

[Pia Dandiya @PiaforCongress]

I’m so glad to have @PeteButtigieg's support in our fight to lower costs, crack down on corruption, and put families ahead of political parties!

Early voting is open, and Election Day is around the corner. Now is the time to make sure your voice is heard.

Let’s bring common sense back to Washington!

BREAKING: Texas Republicans announce they will “Pass on Paxton”:

“I truly believe that he is the most corrupt politician Texas has ever seen.”

“To send Ken Paxton to the United States Senate is adding another gator to the swamp.”

“James Talarico is by far — without a doubt — the best person in the race for the US Senate.”

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

Ken Paxton’s own lawyer endorses James Talarico:

“I defended Ken Paxton for years in the impeachment trial and in state criminal cases. But in my view, I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas.

And unlike Ken, I believe that you, James, believe in unity over division and that you know how to assemble not only Democrats but Independents and Republicans and we need that right now.

We need unity, we don't need any more division and that's why I'm supporting you.”

While Alaska families are living hand-to-mouth and can barely afford the basics, Dan Sullivan has tripled his personal wealth.

[The Bench @ElectTheBench]

Pete Hegseth’s incompetence has weakened our military, jacked up prices in #IA03, and cost service members their lives.

While Zach Nunn voted for the war 5 times, Sarah Trone Garriott will hold Hegseth accountable and restore competent leadership to the Pentagon.

[Cait Conley @CaitforNewYork]

At West Point, I was instilled with the ethos of Duty, Honor, Country. I have carried that with me ever since.

I have spent my life fighting for the American people, and I promise you that as your member of Congress, I will never forget who I serve.

Six days left. I’m in this for all of us.

[Denise Powell for Congress @DeniseForNE]

Trump has made it clear that his agenda is on the November 3 ballot.

A vote for Brinker Harding is a vote to rubber-stamp whatever reckless policies Trump wants, including the ones driving up costs and hurting Nebraskans.

[Blake for the North Country @BlakeGendebien]

Our Harvest the Vote tour rolled into Plattsburgh last night for stop #2!

Thank you to our union brothers and sisters and every voter who showed up to stand with us. Early voting is already underway, and Election Day is less than a week out.

The wind is at our backs. Now it’s time to work harder than ever and run through the tape.

[Sam Forstag @SamForstag]

Hey Aaron: we found the files.

After he decided to run for office, Aaron Flint tried to scrub the internet of his old talk radio show. But after a little bit of digging, we found ‘em–and now we know why Aaron tried so hard to get them buried.

[Jamie Ager @JamieAgerNC]

Elected officials should work for the people, not the highest bidder. That's why I'll fight to ban members of Congress from trading stock. Public service should be a responsibility, not a side hustle.

[The Bench @ElectTheBench]

.@constantino is a joke and an embarrassment. He's a liar and a bully who stands by Trump's failed economy, never even dreaming of criticizing the president.

That's how Blake Gendebien will win next week. By focusing on what matters: bringing down food and gas prices.
