Voters in #SC01 are struggling with rising prices from Trump’s war. Veterans and military families worry about service members being sent into harm’s way in the Middle East. Nancy Lacore is running for Congress to demand answers and hold this administration accountable.

In Alaska, we teach important life lessons through hunting and fishing. I’m fighting to save our fisheries and protect our way of life so the next generation can learn those same lessons.

My opponent Zach Nunn will never be able to put Iowans first because he’s not working for us. He’s working for his corporate PACs and his biggest donor, Donald Trump.

At least he remembered Ryan's name this time.
Thanks for the endorsement.

Trump is wasting taxpayer dollars on vanity projects while rural communities struggle to get the resources they need. Veterans, seniors and families in #NY21 deserve a representative who will fight for them and deliver results. They know @constantino would never.

A typical day on the campaign: working on the farm, meeting with folks across Western North Carolina, and building community. It's always busy, but I'm grateful for every minute of it. #NC11 #WNC

“A guy like Dan Sullivan cannot relate to the lives of a large majority of Alaskans” Alaska deserves a senator who understands our way of life, and will fight on our behalf.

Q: Are you the one who’s going to turn Texas blue? @JamesTalarico: I’m not interested in turning Texas blue. I wanna win this seat so that I can fight for all 31 million Texans — whether they’re Democrats, independents, or Republicans. My party talks about turning Texas blue a lot. Republicans talk about keeping Texas red. I think the best color for Texas is purple. When you have a purple state and competitive elections, it forces every politician in both parties to stay on their toes. My hope in this race is that we can end 30 years of one-party rule and get competitive elections back in Texas so politicians are actually solving problems.

No matter how hard Mike Lawler and Elon Musk try, the Hudson Valley can’t be bought. Families here feel the impacts of Mike’s harmful votes and loyalty to Donald Trump each and every day. Voters in NY-17 want someone who will fight for them, not corporations, special interests, and trillionaires. And that’s what they deserve.

I am the only candidate in this race with a plan to ban congressional stock trading, crack down on self-dealing, enact term limits, and fix the rigged system in DC that's shutting down Alaska.

Fish, family, freedom. The Lower 48 might think that’s a punchline, but up here, fish is a way of life. It drives our economy, feeds our families, and carries our traditions. I’m fighting to restore our fisheries, lower costs for families, and protect our Alaska way of life.

🚨Blake Gendebien just rolled out a cost clock that tracks how much Trump's policies are costing North Country voters. The chaotic tariffs and trade war with Canada have hit #NY21 especially hard. Everyone needs to see these numbers.
Every second, decisions in Washington pull more money from North Country kitchens. Now you can watch it happen. Our new Cost Clock tracks, live, what tariffs, fuel prices, and rising health premiums are taking from families across these 15 counties. Nobody here should foot the bill for a mess we didn’t make. northcountrycostclock.com/

Republicans redrew #FL22 to give themselves an advantage. Pia Dandiya is making this race competitive anyway. While her opponent is nowhere to be found, Pia has held 70+ meet-and-greets, talking directly with Floridians about how we can clean up the mess in Washington.

If you voted for Zach Nunn last election, you are welcome on our campaign. Regardless of party, we all want to stop the corruption and lower costs for our families here Iowa. Let’s do it together.

I'm running for Congress to lower costs, crack down on corruption, and protect your Social Security and Medicare. @CaseyAskar's running to rename I-75 after Donald Trump.

BREAKING: Texas Republican endorses @JamesTalarico: “I got a chance to serve with some great men in the legislature — Ken Paxton was not one of them. I think it's important that we can trust our senator… That is why I'm supporting James Talarico.”
