The future is not something Washington hands to us. The future is something we build, together.
Today, we start building.
But we can’t do it alone. This campaign belongs to all of us. Join the movement, sign up to volunteer, make a contribution if you’re able, and let’s build the future together.

Bennett romped pretty much everywhere, winning all but five towns* across her sprawling district despite being the only candidate targeted by negative ads. She’s definitely got a strong organization she can carry into November.
*no town-level results yet in Sussex
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.
A big hint as to who might be behind Real Change PAC: When you sign up to be on their email list you get an email from a Cavalry LLC domain.
That's a GOP firm co-founded by former Mitch McConnell chief of staff Josh Holmes
I've been neutral in this race in my old district. But:
- Democratic primary candidates should make a positive case for themselves, not smear someone who could be the nominee.
- Falsely associating a fellow Democrat with ICE is shameful and disqualifying for Tina Shah.
Are Republicans meddling in NJ-7 to hurt @RebeccaForNJ07?
An ad from a murky new Nebraska-based PAC called “Real Change PAC” ostensibly attacks Bennett from the left, but Democrats believe the GOP is behind it.

National Republicans and “Democrat” Tina Shah are both out in full force with misleading and dishonest negative attacks against @RebeccaForNJ07 because they both know/fear the same thing: she’s the strongest candidate to take on Tom Kean Jr and the Trump admin this November.
BIG WIN: @ZachDemboKY secures the Democratic nomination for KY-06, advancing to the general election.
If anybody can flip #KY06, it’s a ninth-generation Kentuckian, Navy vet, and former federal prosecutor.
NEW POLLING: @RebeccaForNJ07 posts a commanding lead in the #NJ07 Democratic primary with 36% — more than double her nearest competitor.
The former Navy helicopter pilot has the momentum to win the Democratic nomination and flip this seat.
If you’re a campaign, org, or consulting firm that cares about maintaining integrity, you should 100% be writing bans on these types of bets into your employee handbook before this gets even more out of hand
SCOOP: Campaign staff are gaming prediction markets using internal data to make timely bets on their candidates — winning “thousands.”
One staffer told me it would have been “foolish” not to bet. Another staffer called it the “Wild West”

Happy Monday from #MI07, where the primary race is wide open, but @MattMaasdam has the momentum - and when voters learn about the candidates, he’s the clear leader.
VOTEVETS SETS A RED LINE: Congress must stop ducking its constitutional duty. We expect all lawmakers to support the bipartisan War Powers resolution on Iran. We will hold Republicans AND Democrats accountable who do not.
I served two combat tours in Iraq. I’ve seen what happens when a lying, chicken-hawk President beats the war drums. I ran for Congress and serve on the Armed Services Committee because I refuse to let the country I love repeat those mistakes.
It’s why we passed the War Powers Act (after Vietnam) in the first place.
So that before the President sends our troops into harm’s way, he has to make his case TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Trump hasn’t done that. He hasn’t explained his goals.
He hasn't told you what it will cost – both in our tax dollars and (God forbid) our kids coming home in flag-draped coffins.
That’s why I cosponsored Congressman Khanna and Congressman Massie’s War Powers Resolution. And why I’m calling for a vote IMMEDIATELY.
To force an honest conversation as a country about what comes next. To stop yet another forever war.
We cannot repeat our approach from 2001 and 2002. The answer cannot be “we’ll figure it out as we go.” I lost too many friends because of that logic. As I said after the attack on Iran’s nuclear sites last June: Air strikes may start a war. They rarely end it.
💵💵💵: @RebeccaForNJ07 raised $550k in Q4 and is not far off of $2 million overall since launching her campaign.
Unprecedented numbers for an N.J. House challenger in an off-year. (And two other Dems in the NJ-7 race have also raised $1 million+!)

In today's Post, a look at the Hell Cats, 4 Dem candidates - @maurasullivan@CaitforNewYork@Mendoza4AZ and @RebeccaForNJ07 - whose military experience and pragmatic approach on affordability can help them win in competitive races and take back the House:
