Pushing forward. STEVE SEVIGNY, MD

Dear David,

Running for Congress isn't easy. It's not something that comes natural to most of us. I got in this because I believe healthcare is a right, that everyone should have a chance to succeed, and that every kid deserves a quality public education. I will keep pushing forward every day until that is a reality in our country.

 
We have less than two months to go. We have thousands of doors to knock. We need all the support we can get to continue this fight to ensure everyone has access to all the care they need without fear of crippling debt.
 
 
In solidarity,
 
Steve

Can you take a moment? GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE MOLLY KELLY.

David,
I grew up in a big family, the second of 11 kids. I learned an important lesson: If one of us is to succeed, then all of us must succeed. This philosophy has guided my career serving the people of New Hampshire and will guide me as your governor.
Today, our current governor puts the interests of wealthy corporations ahead of children and families. That's wrong. As governor, I'll work day in and day out to make sure I'm fighting for what matters to you and your family.  
I've been talking to folks across the Granite State about their priorities. I want to make sure no one gets left behind, so I'd love for you to take a moment right now to tell me what's on your mind:
Share Your Thoughts
Thanks so much,

Molly

What to do now? CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE JOSH WELLE.

Hi David
Last night Donald Trump announced Brett Kavanaugh as his nominee for the Supreme Court.

So what to do now?  

 Already this year, the conservative majority on the Supreme Court sanctioned attacks on workers' rights, further threatened a woman's right to choose, upheld the discriminatory Muslim ban, and supported voter suppression efforts in Ohio -- and that was before Justice Kennedy stepped down. So you better believe that with Brett Kavanaugh on the bench, Roe v. Wade, affordable health care, labor unions, and civil rights will all be on the chopping block.

Who will fight to protect these hard won gains for New Jersey residents? Not Chris Smith. If Kavanaugh joins the court, voters in New Jersey’s Fourth District can count on Chris Smith to pursue his agenda against women’s health more aggressively than ever. Smith has been working his entire career to roll back the clock on mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters access to health care.

The only thing more dangerous to women’s health than Chris Smith is Chris Smith backed by a Supreme Court ready to do his bidding. I call on Smith to come clean with voters now—tell us what rights you will work to strip away if you have a Supreme Court willing to reverse a precedent that has been in place for two generations.  

So what to do now? We elect new leaders to Washington D.C.

Very respectfully,
Josh Welle
