I am ashamed to say that I haven’t always voted in the midterms. I never saw the point. But I’ve been paying attention these last ten years and I absolutely see the point now. I voted in this midterm, for you. And I’ll vote for you in the next one, too, so long as you listen to what the voters are saying; we’re done with representation that doesn’t align with our moral compass and representatives that sit by passively while our tax dollars are used for everything but helping the most vulnerable among us. Do not support Jeffries or Schumer for leadership positions. I’m asking, as a voter, as a citizen, and as a Democrat. Don’t make me regret my vote, and don’t make me reconsider in the next election. The message from voters was crystal clear - we want real, tangible, fundamental change and we entrusted you with the authority to help make that happen. Don’t let us down.
