Celebrating Women’s Equality Day. Jennifer Boysko, Finance Chair, Virginia Democratic House Caucus

David,

Yesterday we celebrated Women’s Equality Day by honoring all women and their fight for equality. Women need equality in the workforce and in all areas of their lives. We know that when women suffer, children suffer. 

 

In this country, women earn only about 80% of the average man’s pay. Black women get 65% less and Hispanic women, on average, only make 59 cents to each dollar white males make. The Trump administration is doing everything in its power to expand the wage gap by rolling back Obama’s equal pay rule and making it easier for companies to hide how much they pay women and people of color.

 

It’s crazy that women are still fighting for the same pay as their male counterparts. That’s why we have to keep challenging the status quo.

 

In solidarity,

 

Jennifer Boysko,

MCCAIN. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE KEN HARBAUGH.

Yesterday, we lost John McCain.

He was a US Senator and a former presidential candidate.

But I will always remember him as Captain McCain, fellow naval aviator. I still recall the photos of him on the wall of my favorite bar in flight school. I imagine the gold wings he wore then on his chest, bearing him now on his final journey.

I recall, too, the example he set for us younger pilots as we underwent POW interrogation training. We learned how John McCain, though badly injured, refused an early release until his fellow prisoners could come home. We all memorized the Code of Conduct, but John McCain’s example made the words real.

If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners . . .I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free.

Over the coming days, we will read the eulogies, the remembrances, the tributes to a life of heroism and service.

But let us also consider Captain John McCain’s final plea to his fellow Americans:

Before I leave, I’d like to see our politics begin to return to the purposes and practices that distinguish our history from the history of other nations. I would like to see us recover our sense that we are more alike than different. We are citizens of a republic made of shared ideals forged in a new world to replace the tribal enmities that tormented the old one. Even in times of political turmoil such as these, we share that awesome heritage and the responsibility to embrace it.

Rest easy, Shipmate.

We have the watch.

In service,

Ken

SIGN NOW TO SAY NO! TO GHOST GUNS. VIRGINIA ATTORNEY GENERAL MARK HERRING.

David,

This is scary stuff. Our weak gun laws already make it too easy for domestic abusers and dangerous criminals to get their hands on guns.

And now, the Trump administration is moving forward with a plan to make undetectable, untraceable “ghost guns” more widely available.

This is crazy, and we can’t let it happen. Sign here to say NO! to ghost guns.

President Trump has shown time and again that he is completely beholden to extremists in the gun lobby, but this is a new low.

I’m working hard each and every day for the commonsense gun safety laws we need – like universal background checks, a new assault weapons ban and a ban on bump stocks and high-capacity magazines.

But instead of working with us to save lives, the Trump administration and their allies in the gun lobby are making our work even harder.

My colleagues and I have sued to block this plan, but we also need to hear from you.

SIGN OUR PETITION to say NO to untraceable, undetectable ghost guns.

Sign the Petition

Thanks for stepping up,

Mark.

WE'RE ON TV! GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE MOLLY KELLY.

David,

We just launched our first TV ad! Thanks to your support, we are able to spread our message of building a New Hampshire where everyone has the opportunity to succeed across the Granite State.

The ad, “Table,” features Molly’s life story from when she was a single mom who raised three small children while working her way through college and law school before becoming a financial advisor and New Hampshire state senator.

The ad highlights that Molly will open opportunities for everyone in New Hampshire and that she is refusing corporate contributions to her campaign. Molly is the only candidate for governor who, from day one of her campaign, has not accepted contributions from corporations or from fossil fuel executives.

We’re relying on grassroots supporters like you to help us reach more Granite Staters. With less than three weeks from primary day, we need your help to spread our message by sharing this ad on Facebook and Twitter.

Thank you,

Team Molly.
