Discipline - Oct. 26, 2018
October 26, 2018
ANNOUNCER: As mayor, Gretchen Driskell worked with both parties to balance the budget 14 years in a row, Driskell will bring that discipline to Washington to protect our tax dollars. But career politician Tim Walberg only protects his donors. He took insurance and drug company money and voted to let them deny protections for pre-existing conditions and charge older Americans up to five times more than everyone else. The bottom line – after 30 years, Tim Walberg only looks out for his campaign cash, not you.

September 21, 2018
MORSE: I'm Jessica Morse, and I'm running for Congress on the simple idea that in this moment what our country needs most is leadership who puts our community and our Constitution ahead of the partisan game-playing that we see in Washington. In my conversations with folks around the district, from Truckee to Roseville to Fresno County, I've listened and I've learned a lot. I've heard from you about how we can grow our economy, create jobs in Northern California and how we can ensure that every senior can retire in […]

October 18, 2018
LAUREN KOVACH: Grandma was always there for me and had dinner ready for us every night and we were very, very close. Alzheimer's is forgetting but it's not just names or where they're at, it's their body forgetting to tell you how to function at a basic level – how to eat, how to walk, how to breathe sometimes. It's devastating. It's just, it's the longest goodbye, they call it. STABENOW: The focus, I believe, needs to be on research for a cure, and in the meantime we need to […]

Fighting for our Families - May 12, 2018
May 12, 2018
DAVIS: I am from Dillion, South Carolina. In Dillion, people cared about one another. My mom, she worked hard as a waitress, she was a single parent, and while she tried to provide for the family making less than minimum wage, we had neighbors to cart us to school or to band practice. That’s what I believe we’re missing today. People are so concerned about themselves, and I believe we need to get back to being concerned about our neighbors, understanding what their needs are because someone fought for me […]
