Senate Democrats are about to pick their leader, and I'm asking you not to just hand the job back to Chuck Schumer because that's how it's always gone. Make it a real election. Democratic voters just came out and won races. We want leaders who answer to us, and not to the party insiders and the big donors. Before you vote, please look hard at his record, where his money comes from, and what he's actually gotten done. Then talk to people back home, because a lot of us are fed up. It's time for someone fresh. No more of the old guard running things the way they always have. We need a new generation of leader who'll go after this fight aggressively, because that's the change voters are asking for. So here's what I'm asking. Vote against Schumer for leader and back someone new. Democrats deserve a choice, and I'm counting on my senators to make sure we get one.
