Democrat running for Congress in #IN03. Dad, teacher, veteran, and former healthcare worker trying to bring responsive leadership back to Northeast Indiana.
Northeast Indiana deserves a leader who looks out for our neighbors and fights for affordable healthcare. Not one trying to take it away.
Watch our first tv ad of the campaign, titled "People Like My Son."
This is why we need leaders who are responsible enough to understand that a politics based on racist & bigoted dogwhistles has real-life consequences.
Thank you to ChangeMakers for organizing the effort of support.
My prayers are with all who need them tonight. #Justice4three
My heart aches for the families & loved ones of Andy Retic, Joshua Cooper & Jaylin Rice. I can only imagine the pain and sorrow you are going through. Our entire community should be mourning with you & angry on behalf of you, but most of all, we should support you. #justice4three

This is why hate crimes legislation out of our Statehouse is so important. This is why Congress should be supporting Sens. Booker and Scott's anti-lynching legislation.
Texas — Hundreds of warming centers are open across the state. Head to https://t.co/hPJawls8rQ to find the center nearest you or call 211 for additional assistance.
This is fantastic news and Congress should move quickly to pass this proposal once it is finished. No child should go hungry because our wages are stagnant while housing, education, healthcare & other costs continue to rise.
This is the kind of economic agenda we must embrace.

Since our campaign ended, and especially in the last few weeks, I have had so many supporters reach out and ask if I would be running again in 2022.
While I have not yet made a decision, I do want to address these questions.

The impeachment trial is about holding elected officials accountable & that’s why a number of responsible Republicans voted for it.
The only people making accountability a partisan issue are those hoping to avoid it. It’s time to take responsibility for your actions, Jim.
The only reason Jim Banks doesn't want to see the bipartisan impeachment trial move forward is because it will remind people of the role President Trump played—along with allies like @RepJimBanks in Congress in inciting the Capitol riot.
We all know another partisan impeachment is a complete waste of our time and taxpayer dollars. So, why do it?
It’s a smoke screen for Democrats as Joe Biden implements their radical agenda by pen stroke.
Tune in to My Labor Radio for my new recurring segment with @mgevaart!
Every month, we’ll be talking politics, Northeast Indiana, and the future of the Democratic Party in communities like ours.

Congratulations to President @JoeBiden and Vice President @KamalaHarris! We are thankful for your empathic leadership and historic vision for our nation.
Thank you to every voter, volunteer & activist who made today possible. Today, we celebrate. Tomorrow, we get back to work.
If you're wondering what to do with the anger or anguish you feel, turn off CNN, log off Twitter, and go register voters. Go register yourself. And text or call some friends and family who also feel this way and talk about how you'll organize your community for the next election.
When I accepted the results of the democratic election in #IN03 I didn't call it a result of fraud or tell my supporters to attack my opposition.
I did, however, make a promise to myself & my community that I wouldn't stay silent when leaders failed us.

.@RepJimBanks’s behavior since the election has been erratic and irresponsible. He does indeed share blame for the insurrection on Jan. 6th.
As we remember Dr. King's legacy today, it is important we take up the work, today, to continue the fight of so many that came before us.
I will be tuning in and supporting this great event, and encourage you all to join me!

I pray that this will never happen again to our Democracy and that we will strengthen our resolve to protect our democracy by voting for pro-democracy candidates, not authoritarian candidates.

Today’s attempted coup by the pro-Trump anarchists in the Capitol today isn't just an attack on our Capitol Building, it is an attack on our democrcy, and it was aided by the President of the United States and his allies in Congress.

Those responsible--including the elected officials who knowingly or unwittingly enabled today's insurrection--should be held accountable. We must work together to fix this.
