Over the past few decades, we’ve all watched our economy and our government drift further away from being of, by, and for the people. The folks we have sent to Washington to fight for us haven’t just failed us; they have abandoned us. Why? Because too many traded their responsibility for billionaire donors, and the result is an economy fewer and fewer of us can afford to live in.

The truth is harsh: we have been scared into fighting over crumbs while the system was quietly rigged against us. It is so commonplace now that they are doing the rigging out loud. And the pillars that once made our country strong - public education, healthcare, small businesses and local companies, worker’s rights, and the full protections of our Constitution - have been worn down so badly they’re barely recognizable.

This is not about left versus right. It is about right versus wrong; the top versus the rest of us. I am not running just to send Pat Harrigan back to his lake house; I am running to take the fight to those who sold us out to the billionaires who bankroll them, on both sides of the aisle.

We do not have to settle for lies, empty promises, or shallow policy proposals that do little to help our daily lives.
