Jason, can I be honest for a second? |
Every day, I feel like I come across another headline. Another scandal. Another abuse of power. Another thing that would have dominated the news for months not that long ago. |
And lately, I’ve found myself asking a simple question: Are we angry enough right now? |
Not because outrage is a form of political strategy. Not because anger alone solves anything. But because I’m worried we’ve become numb. |
We’ve seen so much chaos, so many violations that at one point would have shocked the conscience of the country. And now they barely register anymore. |
Politicians creating special funds for political allies. |
ICE killing people on the streets. |
A president and his family receiving millions of dollars in gifts and shady contracts. |
Turning the presidency into a celebrity spectacle where governing takes a back seat to fund grandiose UFC matches and crude insults against others. |
A few years ago, the mere idea of any of the above would have triggered a national uproar. Now it’s just another day in the White House. |
And that’s the part that worries me most. |
The truth is that things weren’t always this way. America’s leaders have certainly never been perfect. We have lived through corruption scandals, abuses of power, and moments of profound division. But we’ve also spent generations trying to build a government that is accountable to the people. |
From civil rights leaders who risked everything to expand democracy to journalists who exposed wrongdoing and Americans who demanded accountability during Watergate, the people who came before us fought in defense of our standards. |
That’s why I refuse to give up. |
I’m running in TX-33 to help bring integrity back to Congress – to weed out corruption where I see it, bring an end to racial gerrymandering, and put a much-needed check on an administration that constantly seeks to benefit themselves over the American people. |
If you believe in what I’m fighting for and that we deserve a government that asks more of our leaders than simply avoiding the next scandal, I hope you’ll chip in to my campaign today. |
