Tough women make history. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE MAURA SULLIVAN.

The 19th amendment marked a historic win in the battle for women’s rights in this country. But Maura knows that the fight for equality is far from over - women’s rights are under attack, health care is in jeopardy, and women still earn less than men for equal work. Plus, women make up only 20% of Congress.

Let’s face it - the behavior and actions of Donald Trump and the GOP are an attack on women and should not be tolerated. The 19th amendment was the result of hard work by tough women. Maura has fought for women’s rights in Washington before, and she’ll do it again - by standing up to Donald Trump and the GOP and advocating for what is right. 

The fight for women's rights isn’t over. This is the year to ensure women’s voices are heard in Congress.

Did you catch us on CBS Good Morning? CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE KEN HARBAUGH.

Growing up, we talked politics at the dinner table -- but honestly, I never expected to work on a campaign or be out knocking doors in the summer heat.

Watch us on CBS Good Morning here

2016 was a tipping point for me, just like it was for millions of Americans around the country. And now I’m proud to join Ken Harbaugh fighting to flip the OH-7 blue this year.

Team Harbaugh is powered ahead by folks like you and me, not by corporate PACs and special interest groups. Ken and I both know that the only way things will change is if we get to work.

So when I’m not sending emails like this, I’m out knocking doors with Ken and our volunteers so we can listen to what people have to say.

We’ve talked with older Ohioans who are choosing between paying for groceries or paying for prescription medication. We’ve talked to parents who are worried about health care because they have a child with a pre-existing condition.

This is why we’re fighting and why folks who have never been politically involved are volunteering with Team Harbaugh.

We couldn’t do this without you,

Micah

If you haven't seen the report yet, take a look!

With your help we can...

Thank you for making this possible,

BIG Win. U.S. REPRESENTATIVE DAVID CICILLINE.

Dear David, 

Earlier this week, my proposal to provide new resources for local manufacturing economies like Rhode Island’s was signed into law. 

This is a big win for Rhode Island workers. When they’re given a level playing field, Rhode Islanders will outwork and outperform any competitors. As a result of this new law, which I’ve been pressing my colleagues to pass since I first got to Congress, the Department of Defense will provide long-term investments in critical skills, infrastructure, research and development, and small businesses to strengthen national security innovation.

I’m looking forward to working with our private, public, and non-profit sectors to make sure Rhode Island can take full advantage of this opportunity. I’ll make sure to keep you informed of the work we’re doing.

Roundtable 

Earlier today, I hosted a roundtable discussion with Rhode Island millennials to talk about the Democratic plan to clean up corruption in Washington. Democrats are committed to fixing our broken political system and returning to a government of, by, and for the people. That means taking power back from the special interests and making Washington work for the people.

Specifically, Democrats will:

1) Empower American voters by protecting the right to vote and safeguarding our election infrastructure;

2) Strengthen our nation’s ethics laws to end the revolving door in Washington and rein in the influence of lobbyists and big-money donors;

3) And fix our broken campaign system by ending the scourge of “dark money” and passing the DISCLOSE Act.

Providence Fire 

Providence Fire Fighters put their lives on the line every day to protect Rhode Islanders. Our brave first responders deserve access to the best equipment and training available to them so that they can do their jobs safely and effectively.

That’s why I’m so pleased that, along with Senators Reed and Whitehouse and Congressman Langevin, I announced nearly $1 million in new federal funding that the Providence Fire Department will use to provide additional training for 173 Fire Fighters. I advocated directly with FEMA to secure this funding, and I’m proud that we delivered results for our first responders. Click here to learn more about this important announcement.

Shannon Bream 

Last night, I spoke with Shannon Bream of Fox News about the work that Democrats are going to do if we’re entrusted with a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Democrats are fighting for the people. We know that the American people want a Congress that will drive down the cost of health care, create good-paying jobs and raise family incomes, and end the pervasive corruption in Washington. These are three things that President Trump promised to do. He’s failed to deliver on all three.

Some folks have asked why I even bother to go on Fox News given that much of its audience and its hosts lean to the right. The fact is that if we want to make real progress on the challenges we face, then we have to be willing to have conversations with folks we disagree with. I’m always going to stand strong and fight for the values I believe in, but that doesn’t mean I have to tune out everyone on the other side.
