I'm a constituent from Chandler, writing about the House Democratic leadership election. Voters just gave Democrats a large majority. Many of us expect that majority to bring new energy, a sharper focus on costs, and real accountability for the Trump administration. A leadership election is where the caucus decides how to deliver on that. I ask that you support a competitive election for Leader and Speaker, and that you not commit your vote until every candidate has laid out a concrete plan in front of the caucus. If a credible progressive such as Rep. Ro Khanna or Rep. Jamie Raskin chooses to run, I hope you will give them a fair hearing and consider backing them. A real contest will make whoever wins stronger, and it will show voters that we heard them. Thank you for your service to our district. I would appreciate hearing your position.
