I’m profoundly humbled to share that I’ve been named to TIME100 Health, recognizing the 100 most influential people shaping global health in 2026. @TIME

When we started Mobilize Recovery, our goal was clear. We set out to give a voice to those who have been left behind by a system that ignored them, to end the overdose crisis, and to take on the billionaires who profited off our pain.

This recognition by TIME isn’t just a personal milestone. It’s a massive spotlight on our entire movement and the advocates doing the hard work on the ground every single day.

To be included alongside such an extraordinary group of global health leaders is surreal, but this recognition truly belongs to all of us.

Thank you to TIME, my incredible team, and everyone who has supported this mission. We won’t stop until every voice is heard, every person is valued and supported, and no more lives are lost to this preventable crisis. Let's keep fighting.

With love, R.

Ain’t no party like a labor union party 🎉

Union members & elected leaders came together for our canvass kickoff with one thing on the line: what happens between now and November 3rd. With so much at stake for working families, sitting this election out isn’t an option!

Medical debt: health & ballot issue. 26.6% had debt (Urban, Dec. 2025); 1 in 4 bills hit credit files; 64% came from hospitals (Commonwealth Fund). Nonprofit hospitals' charity-care policies vary. What would you change?

The early voting blog is updated!

As Week 2 of in-person early voting begins, signs are ominous right now for NV Republicans. The election isn't held today, but if it were, there would be a blue wave.

I show you why in this post, and more data later.

43% changed how they take meds due to cost; 59% worry about prescription costs (KFF, 2026). Skipping doses isn’t personal failure. It’s policy. Ask candidates how they’ll lower drug prices. recovery happens together. 23.5M

@las_papa15310 Thanks for the review. The voters who got it in the mail weren't as enthusiastic.

This is who Erica Neely is. Dishonest with the people she wants to represent. I've earned over 60 real endorsements, including the Coalition of Independent Nevadans (COIN), the actual voice for Nevada's nonpartisans, registered with the state the way it's supposed to be. Voters deserve honesty. Neely gave them a con job. (3/3)

[Ryan Hampton @RyanForRecovery]

Erica Neely is lying to the voters she wants to represent. She faked an endorsement from a group her campaign team made up. A "Nevada Independent Voter Guide" from a "coalition" landed in nonpartisan mailboxes. Read the fine print. Her campaign paid for it, approved it, and the return address is her own office. (1/3)

[Ryan Hampton @RyanForRecovery]

The "Nevada Independent Voter Coalition" is not registered with the Secretary of State. It doesn't exist as far as the state is concerned. Its "founder" is a Neely donor. She invented a group, endorsed herself, and mailed it to voters as if it were independent. That's not a mistake. That's a scheme, and it likely violates Nevada campaign finance law. (2/3)

[Ryan Hampton @RyanForRecovery]

13 months in and 12 days to go. This campaign was built by folks who showed up in the heat, knocked on doors and talked to their neighbors, and that’s exactly how we’re going to win this thing. I’ve never been more hopeful about what we’re building together. Thank you to every single one of you. Now let’s go bring it home! #nvleg #election2026 #bluewave #nevada

Nevada firewall for Dems grew to 🔵 D+10300 votes today

Slow and steady increase for Ds compared to the sharp drop in favor of Republicans in 2024

[Ryan Hampton @RyanForRecovery]

Nevada, this one is about us. Ask the people on your ballot one question: what is your plan to keep Nevadans covered? Then tell us what you hear. recovery happens together. 23.5M

Please keep my mom in your thoughts. She's entering a new stage of treatment in palliative care after a long, painful road. All I want is for her to be comfortable. She's my best friend and has been there through it all. Now I'll walk with her. God has her, and so do I.

[Jon Ralston @RalstonReports]

Shocker.

She was never a serious candidate, always seemed like a GOP plant to siphon votes from the other Ford. Even if she’s not a plant, they are using her now.

Ruthless but also a sign of GOP worry?

Enhanced ACA subsidies expired. Premiums: $113/mo (2025) → $178 (2026); same-plan average +114% (CMS/KFF). Enroll Nov 1–Jan 15; by Dec 15 for Jan 1 coverage. Shop, compare, ask candidates: premium change this year?
