Allow the next generation of leaders

Please allow the next generation to lead. Look at polling of approval, reflect the will of the people. There was a mandate against the status quo that Jeffries and Schumer represent.

Support Chris Van Hollen for Senate Majority Leader

Vote for Chris Van Hollen as Senate Majority Leader when Democrats cast their secret ballot in early December. The midterms sent a clear message, and Van Hollen is right: meeting this moment requires new leadership, not a return to the status quo. Chuck Schumer has led the caucus since 2017, but hi

Chris Van Hollen For Majority Leader

Schumer has had his chance to prove he is a leader and he has failed to oppose Trump in any meaningful way. I am sick of his fecklessness and so are most of the wave of voters who just gave Democrats our biggest win in 52 years. I have zero faith in Schumer to meet the moment. Please vote for Chris

From a verified voter in Inver Grove Heights, MN

I am absolutely against re-electing Schumer and Jeffries. The Hegseth impeachment vote debacle was the last straw. We voted for new blood and new ideas. Schumer and Jeffries MUST GO! That Jeffries cannot rally people for a vote that important completely disqualifies him.

I urge you to seriously consider supporting Chris Van Hollen for Senate Majority Leader. Anyone replacing Chuck Schumer as Senate Majority Leader must be better than him at the most critical aspects of the job. Does he have the temperament and ability to keep the Dem Caucus together? Does he underst

Legislative priorities

After these drawn out midterm results (the best drawn out midterm results in my life) I am curious as to what your agenda priorities look like in the coming year. Will you stay on course, or adjust your priorities to stay with or stay out of the way of this obvious mandate from the people? It is

From a verified voter in Mountlake Terrace, WA

Van Hollen all the way. We need new leadership to guide us through this opportunity. Schumer has had many many years to get rid of Trumpism and he never did. Trump killed Trumpism.

VOTE for Senator Chris Van Hollen

VOTE for Senator Chris Van Hollen as the new Senate Majority Leader. We cannot afford to squander this majority with the same cautious, top-down old guard. Honor the Voter Mandate. The 2026 blue wave was built by grassroots voters demanding systemic change, not Washington insiders. ‼️‼️‼️NO WAR wi

From a constituent in North Hollywood, CA

I just remembered that Jeffries was lukewarm at best about Congressmembers following (*following*) Chris Van Hollen’s lead (*lead*) in going to El Salvador during Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s unconstitutional rendition to CECOT. Reportedly he even called for the trips to stop, though he denied this. Now

I am outraged that Republicans advanced legislation on Veterans Day that would reduce disability compensation for veterans while masquerading as the party of the troops. The timing alone is disgraceful. Representing a state with a substantial population of veterans, active-duty service members, and

Leadership

I want to encourage you, my representatives, to find someone else than Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer to be the leaders in the house and senate! I firmly believe it is time for a new leadership across the board! If nothing changes, nothing changes.
