BIG WIN: Rebecca Bennett secures the Democratic nomination for NJ-07, advancing to the general election!
#NJ07 is one of the most consequential races on the map this cycle, and @RebeccaForNJ07 is exactly the kind of candidate who can flip this seat.
I will continue pushing the Department of Homeland Security to provide appropriate medicine and care for all detainees in Delaney Hall, give detainees a meaningful chance to review their cases, stop pressuring detainees into signing deportation documents, and be
transparent about who is being held in the facility.
And I’ll keep pressing DHS to close Delaney Hall down for good.
Seth Moulton makes the #MASen primary ballot with 27% of the delegate vote, and will challenge Ed Markey in September. He needed 15% to get there.
(No 2020 vote to compare this to; that year's convention was canceled due to COVID.)
👀 from the Mass Dems convention happening now: State Sen. John Cronin nominated Rep. Seth Moulton for Senate ahead of the delegate vote.
He’s one of the first state legislators publicly backing Moulton over Sen. Ed Markey in the primary. #mapoli
Want to know why we need to change the status quo?
Today at the State Convention tellers for the @MassDems who are supposed to be neutral were handing out Markey signs, and the party let Markey ramble for close to 5 minutes over his allotted time while telling @sethmoulton he had a strict time limit.
Not right.
Right now, we need true servant leaders who put service & community first. I launched Patriot PAC to elect folks who love this country, love their communities, and want to fight FOR THE PEOPLE.
Proud to be endorsing 85 Patriots across New York. More to come.
Stock trading when you have access to insider information is unacceptable. It runs counter to the concept of service. If we are going to call it out on one side, we have to call it out on both.
When my primary opponent was Ambassador to Ukraine, she owned stock in lithium companies while she was involved in the diplomatic work to land a mineral rights deal between the U.S. and Ukraine. That creates the perception of a conflict of interest.
This polling makes it clear voters feel the same way. Michigan’s 7th District is one of the most competitive seats in the country, and we cannot afford to put this seat at risk this fall.
I’m running to restore trust in public service, put working families ahead of self-interest, and defeat Tom Barrett in November; and this poll shows I’m the candidate best positioned to do it.
Trump just endorsed Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate runoff.
But @jamestalarico already knows who he's running against — and more importantly, who he's running for.

The Supreme Court's Louisiana v. Callais decision weakens the Voting Rights Act and threatens representation for communities nationwide.
We are deeply concerned and remain committed to supporting leaders who believe in a more representative and equitable democracy for all.
🔵 NEW POLLING: Zach Dembo's record of service is a general election asset in #KY06 — after voters hear @ZachDemboKY's biography, he leads both Republicans 46-39.
The edge: 51% of independents say his service experience makes them more likely to vote for him.
🔵 NEW POLLING: Matt Maasdam's record of service is moving the needle in #MI07 — once voters hear his biography, his lead against incumbent Tom Barrett (R) grows to 47-45.
The edge: 37% of independents say @MattMaasdam's service background makes them more likely to vote for him.
My statement on the Virginia Supreme Court overturning the results of the redistricting referendum and the will of more than 1.6 million Virginia voters:
Thanks @NPR for spotlighting our campaign and office as an example.
This is exactly why we banned prediction markets in our office and campaign in March.
When people in positions of public trust use insider information to place bets, it's flat-out unethical. Every campaign and office should do the same.

Hartford didn't fix itself. @LukeBronin did. Now he's taking that energy to Congress — and the momentum behind him keeps growing. ⤵️ https://t.co/hDX1QgrbW9
Platner and Moulton both winning New England Senate primaries is the brain breaker that the people involved in the 2016 primary online forever war deserve.
