We don’t need someone else to tell us to do the right thing, do we?
The unfortunate reality is that, when something happens far too often, it gets normalized.
Let's talk about something plaguing America: Corruption.
It's a word that we all hear every day, a concept that too many have internalized as the price of a functioning government.
One of my most important roles as a public servant in Congress is to restore the trust that, thanks to frauds like Donald Trump and George Santos, has been eroded.
And it's why, despite the big money backing national Republicans in 2024, I continue to make this humble ask: to stand with my grassroots team as we organize every day to win back the House and elect leaders who want to change that.
This is partially on my mind because today is International Anti-Corruption Day, and our friends and partners internationally have made clear they want to be part of a world community that is addressing this endemic political problem.
But we don't need a special day to tell us to do the right thing, do we?
If the odds often feel stacked against us, that's because they have been for a long time. But we fight on—by shining a light on corruption, and by electing principled leaders who won't stand for it any longer.
