Jon Stewart and Josh Welle! (video). CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE JOSH WELLE.


I wanted to make sure you saw the conversation Josh and Jon Stewart had about Chris Smith and moving America forward. Check out the video here!


Our campaign has been gaining momentum over the past months, and this is definitely a campaign highlight!

 Jon and Josh spoke about important issues to folks here in central jersey; issues like healthcare, bringing 21st century tech to government, affordability, and gun violence prevention. Josh has the new ideas and energy it takes to bring folks together and get things done in Washington.

Thank you for your incredible show of support. Together we can flip the 4th district and give central jersey families the representation they deserve in Congress.

Compassion and empathy aren't weaknesses. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE STEVE SEVIGNY, MD.

Dear David,

Thank you for reaching out to your Senators to demand legislative action to reunite families and end the unconscionable actions by our government at the border. We need to keep the pressure up - continue to stand up, shout, and protest.

Unfazed by his wake of terror, President Trump is sending out tweets whispering sweet nothings about my Congressman, Ron DeSantis. DeSantis is running for Governor with Trump’s blessing.


Loyal Trump Rubber Stamp, Rep. Ron DeSantis

Rep. DeSantis has been a loyal rubber stamp for Donald Trump, on immigration, health care, and destroying our oceans, beaches, and forests.

These are not the values of Floridians or our fellow Americans. We can make a big change happen by flipping this district from Trumpian greed to people-first values.

We know that our diversity makes us stronger. We know that when people have living wages and healthcare our communities are stronger. We know that all people deserve fairness, dignity, and respect.

I believe if we populate our government with those values, we will make America stronger day after day. Compassion and empathy aren’t weaknesses, they are attributes of true strength.


In Solidarity,

Steve
