I am writing today to ask you to select someone besides Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker of the House. Since Donald Trump's re-election in 2024, Jeffries has been impotent in moving forward key legislation to help the American people. While I understand that he faced significant limitations based on the makeup of the House, his ineffective leadership first and foremost lacked the initiative, passion, and follow-through necessary to capitalize on the moment we find ourselves in now. We need a Speaker who will: 1. Take charge and pass legislation to benefit all Americans 2. Hold the Trump administration and its allies accountable for the atrocities they've committed, at home and abroad, over the last ten years 3. Lead fellow lawmakers in ending American occupation of Iran and support of Israel's genocide in Gaza, among other international quagmires We have two years until the 2028 election, which will be a referendum on Democrats' control of the House. The American people are hungry for new leadership, and we cannot let this opportunity go to waste.
