Youโ€™ve got to be kidding me. We have totally unserious, completely incompetent people taking us into mindless deadly war.

Demoting Kristi Noem isnโ€™t accountability. She oversaw an agency that abused its power, terrorized citizens, and sowed distrust in our communities. This change isnโ€™t a substitute for real justice and real reform.

I'm running for Congress to hold Trump and his administration accountable for the damage they are doing at home and abroad. We need leaders who have a proven track record of doing this.

I've stood up to Trump before, and I'll do it again on behalf of our community in MI07.

We've knocked thousands of doors already this year, and what we keep hearing is that folks just want a representative who will do what is right for our community, no matter what.

This shouldn't even be a political issue. But Tom Barrett keeps voting against MI07's interests.

Making health care affordable is personal to me: without insurance, my breast cancer surgery would have cost $100K. That's outrageous.

Tom Barrett's votes have raised insurance costs for everyone. We need to fix our broken health care system. That starts w/ flipping MI07.

I'm proud to have Congressman Jason Crow's endorsement in this race. He's won tough races himself and he goes to where the fight is โ€“ and he also knows one of those fights is here in #MI04, where Bill Huizenga has failed our communities while enriching himself and his billionaire backers.

And just like that - we filed for Congress! I could not have turned in over 2.5K signatures without the work of so many amazing volunteers. Thank you to everyone who has taken my petition with them to their friends, family, and out on doors. Iโ€™m grateful for your support!

First Miller-Meeks votes to increase healthcare costs. Then, she refuses to answer to her constituents about it, even when their premiums have increased by ten-fold.

BREAKING: ICE has been holding children and seniors in inhumane and secretive holding rooms in Colorado.

Today, I led colleagues in calling for immediate oversight.

The Trump administration's brutality will not go unchecked.

Noem is FINALLY out! But it is too little, too late โ€“ I called for this long ago. We need accountability and the prosecution of all ICE agents who have broken the law.

Weโ€™re officially on the ballot in CA-01.

This campaign is about something bigger than one race. Itโ€™s about showing that regular people โ€” not corporations or political insiders โ€” still have the power to shape our democracy.

Iโ€™m so proud to be in this fight with you. #AudreyforCongress

Reproductive Freedom for All Launches Ad Campaign Holding Rep. Juan Ciscomani Accountable for Cutting Arizonansโ€™ Health Care and Raising Costs - Reproductive Freedom for Allยฎ This week, Reproductive Freedom for All launched a five-figure digital ad buy in U.S. House district AZ-06 to remind voters that Representative Juan Ciscomani voted to cut Medicaid, โ€œdefundโ€ Planned Parenthood, and raise health care costs for Arizona families, and continued to stand by Donald Trump as he spewed blatant lies about the GOP-created health care crisis during last nightโ€™s State of the Union.

I believe every American should have the freedom to make healthcare decisions without government interference. I'll protect #AZ06's reproductive rights and keep politicians like Juan Ciscomani out of the doctor's office.

We all know Ciscomaniโ€™s votes donโ€™t match his promises. He says he's protecting our water, but voted to cut, weaken, and slash drought relief, protections, and agencies that keep our water safe.

Iโ€™m running to protect our water and deliver real solutions for #AZ06.

Democratic Party bets on southern Arizona candidate to help flip the House JoAnna Mendoza, a Democrat running in Arizonaโ€™s 6th congressional district, was named to the partyโ€™s Red to Blue program.

#AZ06 is one of just 18 true toss-up districts in the country. This seat has flipped before, and with your help, we can flip it again!

This is how we take back the House.
