Now that We the People have won the Senate Majority for you, We the People need you to stand up for new, uncompromising leadership if you wish to earn our trust, support, and future votes.
We urge you publicly call for an open process to choose new Senate Democratic leadership. No elected official — not even Chuck Schumer — should be coronated as leader behind closed doors. We deserve to see our elected Senators put it to a vote, bearing in mind the lives that are at stake if the reins are handed to someone who does not understand the threat that fascists pose to us. Fascist leaders are not allies with whom to work alongside, they are enemies to be held accountable.
Additionally, we demand that you publicly go on the record before you vote for a new Senate Democratic leader, to state who you will support for majority leader and who you won't.
I understand that Senator Chris Van Hollen wants the job. I expect you to express support for him. Van Hollen has shown that he's the fighter we need at this moment.
Open the process for choosing new Senate Democratic leadership, put your position on the public record before the vote, and support Van Hollen for Majority Leader.
