I saw a portion of your interview with Politico where you wrongly claimed that voters weren’t paying attention to congressional leadership, I’m flabbergasted and insulted by your insinuation that we are just too mindless to pay attention to such integral parts of our government. Shame on you, I expected better. I can understand for a second why you might entertain the idea that some people just blindly mark names on a ballot without further thought to what comes of those choices. But did you seriously not understand what just happened during the 2026 midterms? Republicans, including Trump Republicans, joined Independents and Democrats for the time since Nixon, to send a resounding message that we demand change. My own Republican mother voted blue all the way down for the time ever this year! We are sick of politicians that are stuck in the past and are not moving this country forward. And we are sick of politicians making choices based off the desires of the rich and powerful that are funding their campaigns. Senator Chuck Schumer is such a politician and I’m here as an Arizona voter to prove to you that yes, yes we do in fact pay attention to the leadership of both the House and the Senate. We also remember who voted for the leaders of those roles, especially if we helped vote them into office in the first place, such as yourself. When they make the wrong choices, we take note for future elections. This is your moment sir, to listen to the voters and believe us when we say that you need to vote for Chris Van Hollen as majority leader. We don’t want leadership that continues to support efforts of genocide. We no longer want a leadership that is beholden to dark money donors and shares the interests of our fascist, dictator president. Because if you don’t think that taking money from AIPAC parallels the interest of Trump, then you are severely out of touch and the one not paying attention.
