Republican challengers emerge in VA-10

Image
  Friend, I wanted to take a moment as we begin August to thank you for your continued support of my campaign. We managed to meet our last monthly goal, ensuring that -- even as more Republican challengers emerge in VA-10 -- we have the resources to keep expanding our outreach and lay the groundwork for victory in 2022. Families and businesses throughout our district continue to benefit from the American Rescue Plan. And Congress is on the verge of passing a major infrastructure bill -- which I'm working hard to ensure is comprehensive in addressing broadband access, public transit, waterways, and climate. Even in the face of immense challenges, we're showing that elections have (positive) consequences, and that government can take bold actions to improve people's lives. The progress we're making wouldn't be possible without you. I'm grateful for all you've done to help me fight to advance our values at every turn. And I'm excited to see what we can acco

Take our Budget Priorities Survey to let Adam know what you want Democrats fighting for in the weeks ahead.

  Friend — Voters, supporters, and organizers across the country elected our Democratic majorities and President Biden to force change. To rebuild our economy, save our planet from the climate crisis, and rescue our democracy from the abuses of an authoritarian cult of personality surrounding the former president. Mitch McConnell should not get to decide which bills Congress passes in this once-in-a-generation opportunity to carry out that mandate. So while the Senate negotiates a bipartisan infrastructure deal, we need to make sure that the budget reconciliation package — which can pass with 50 Democratic votes — includes robust investments not only in roads, tunnels, and bridges but also in families and workers. Take our Budget Priorities Survey to let Adam know what you want Democrats fighting for in the weeks ahead.   Team Schiff Budget Priorities Survey TAKE THE SURVEY The reconciliation package is a critical opportunity to address climate change, expand Medicare, invest in afford

Dreamers can count on you in the Senate fight for immigration reform

Image
  Robert, For Dreamers, who were brought to this country as children, home is here. After a federal judge blocked new DACA applications, a program that provides a crucial lifeline for Dreamers, I questioned the DHS Secretary about the current status. His response? Congress needs to act by passing permanent protections for Dreamers. Robert, Senate Democrats have an opportunity to include immigration reform -- and a path to citizenship for Dreamers -- in the budget reconciliation process. Will you add your name to the petition right now to tell the Senate that you stand with Dreamers? I have long supported federal action to protect the Dreamer community in Nevada and across the country. It is absolutely shameful that these individuals and families are forced to live in fear. Dreamers have waited long enough -- and the time for enacting a permanent solution has come. Sign on now if Dreamers can count on you in the Senate fight for immigration reform. Thank you, Jacky       SIGN THE PETITI

Jessica will be a voice in Congress

Image
  Black Independent Party, Jessica Cisneros’ campaign is already making headlines, but tomorrow, a lot of folks are going to be talking about how much money she was able to raise on day one. Jessica will be a voice in Congress to fix the inhumane carceral immigration system, fight for Medicare for All, and bring good-paying union jobs to South Texas. But unseating Henry Cuellar, who is backed by the Koch brothers and other Republican donors, will be no easy task. Will you be a Day One Donor and chip in $3 to Jessica’s campaign? We need to prove to the establishment that we have the momentum needed to unseat Cuellar and grow the progressive coalition in Congress. Be a Day One Donor Unlike Rep. Cuellar, Jessica won’t accept a dime of corporate PAC money because she knows that Texans need a Congressperson to serve the interests of the community, not corporations. As a conservative Democrat, Cuellar voted against worker protections and even helped further Trump’s agenda in Congress. Alexan

Take it from me: Folks in those communities don’t want to defund the police—they actually want to refund the police. Thankfully, that’s exactly what’s happening in places like Baltimore, where police budgets are increasing again after a year of violence and crime. I spoke about all of this and more during a  U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs hearing  . Click to watch me speak on the “defund the police” movement Expanding Cr

    Hi -- Democrats' majority in the Senate is incredibly thin, which means we need to protect every seat if we want to keep making progress on issues like infrastructure, climate change and more. My friend Tammy Duckworth is up for reelection next year, and I could use your help to make sure she stays in the Senate. Will you split a donation between Tammy and me today? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately and be split between Amy Klobuchar and Tammy Duckworth: DONATE $5 DONATE $25 DONATE $50 DONATE $100 DONATE ANOTHER AMOUNT Tammy is a true trailblazer.

But national Republicans think they can win her seat and what’s more, they’re already targeting her. I want you to think about everything we've achieved tog

GOP extremist who has been endorsed by Donald Trump

    Team, it’s Terry. We have less than three months left, and polls still show this race is tight. It’s an urgent moment because I’m running against a GOP extremist who has been endorsed by Donald Trump — not just once, not just twice, but three times. Folks, we beat Trump last year, and now, we’ve got to do it again by beating his hand-picked guy Glenn Youngkin. So today, I’m launching our biggest goal yet: one million dollars online before the end of August. And I’m counting on you to help me get there. To start us off on the right foot, we need to raise $50,000 by midnight tonight. I’m asking you personally, because this is important: will you chip in $15, $25, $50, or whatever you can to help us reach $50,000 today? It’s an ambitious goal, but I know I can rely on you. DONATE $15    DONATE $30 DONATE $50   DONATE $100 DONATE $250   DONATE ANY Here’s the honest truth, team. In a race this tight, money matters. And Glenn Youngkin is already planning on spending $75 million from his

Sign the petition now to support this historic investment in America’s infrastructure.

    Team, I have been working hard with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to craft the bipartisan infrastructure package that just advanced in the Senate. This legislative deal will make historic investments in rebuilding our highways and bridges -- and go even further by expanding access to high-speed internet and helping to prepare our infrastructure for impacts of the climate crisis. Will you join our efforts? Add your name to call on Congress to pass this crucial, bipartisan infrastructure deal and send it to President Biden’s desk right away. The infrastructure deal will help communities all over the country, and Virginia is no exception. From the revitalization of the D.C. Metro system to the expansion of rural broadband, this bill is a job-creator and an investment in an economy that works for every Virginian. It’s taken months of hard work to get to this point -- and now we’re almost across the finish line. This is proof partisanship has not paralyzed our government and

  Black Independent Party, Unions, workers, progressive organizations, and our Justice Democrats in Congress have made the message clear:  Pass the PRO Act! The Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act is a bill to secure critical labor protections for workers all across the country.
