Congratulations to retired Brigadier General Leela Gray on winning the FL-13 Democratic primary. After three decades in the Army and two combat deployments, Gen. Gray decided she wasn't done serving. Now she's coming for Anna Paulina Luna's seat. Luna should be scared as hell.

Democratic candidate for Florida's 13th Congressional District Leela Gray on Social Security: “You earned it, and I’m gonna fight like hell to protect it!” @LeelaJGray

Brigadier Gen. Leela Gray (Ret.) knows what happens when strong leaders are wrongfully removed from their posts: the mission suffers and readiness collapses. That's exactly what Pete Hegseth has done to our military and why @LeelaJGray is running for Congress.

Leela Gray did NOT hold back when talking about Pete Hegseth. She called him an "unqualified frat boy" and "unhinged" for his plan to livestream Nidal Hasan's execution. This is the type of energy we need in Congress.

We don’t have to settle for the scraps that the billionaires want to give us. We don’t have to settle for Donald Trump’s corruption and chaos. We don’t have to settle for Susan Collins’ concern anymore. We can have the government that we deserve.

Susan Collins says she doesn't regret her vote for Brett Kavanaugh. Make her. Vote on November 3rd.

I’ve been in this fight my whole life. Don’t ever let them make you feel powerless. When working people stand together, there’s nothing we can’t do. Today is the last day to vote early. Let’s go win this thing, Maine.

Ask Mike Johnson @SpeakerJohnson why Mike Lawler only worked for 72 days in DC this whole year. Then get out and vote for Cait Conley NY-17 so we don't have to keep paying Lawler and let's make sure we have a new House Speaker to replace the lying Trump puppet.

After six combat deployments, there isn’t a lot that scares Cait Conley. But Pete Hegseth’s leadership at the Pentagon? That keeps her up at night. When the person running the Defense Department is purging experienced leaders, gutting military readiness, and playing culture wars while American lives are at stake, that should worry all of us. That's why Conley is running in NY-17 because somebody need to hold Hegseth accountable.

Cait Conley is 100% right: Pete Hegseth has made the Pentagon worse by every measure that matters. Troops can’t get medical care in the field, experienced leaders have been fired for loyalty tests, and a forever war is being fought with no strategy and no end in sight. As an Army Veteran, Cait knows what competent leadership looks like, and she knows people get hurt when it’s missing. NY-17 can elect someone who will hold Hegseth’s feet to the fire. Let’s make the right call and send Conley to Congress.

The American dream shouldn't be a luxury. The top 1% now hold nearly a third of U.S. wealth, while families struggle with rent and groceries. Washington has gone too far for billionaires. Let's bring the dream home to our communities.

Thank you, Whip @TeamKClark, for joining us in Fairless Hils yesterday! 🙌 Your energy fired up our volunteers and door knockers, and they're out there talking to neighbors because of it. Every knock, every conversation, every call makes a difference.
