and was defeated by one percent by an incumbent challenger despite the fact that doris loaned herself a million dollars now in california they got to advance to a top two system because they have to run against each other again in november but if you also look at somebody like randy viegas in california's 22nd congressional district where we've run a moderate three times at this point and lost every time against one of the most vulnerable republicans
were able to defeat the democratic establishment that spent two and a half about two and a half million dollars more than randy was able to on a candidate with that was the only democrat to vote against prop 50 in the california state legislature and had taken a million dollars from the pharma and insurance industries in a district that relies more on medicare and medicaid than almost any district in the country and our candidate randy viegas ran on a proud platform of calling out aipac of calling out the genocide in gaza with
rejecting corporate money.
And he won because young voters showed up for him who had never really voted before because they actually believed in him because they saw somebody who finally is not owned by the same corporations and special interests.
And that's why we do what we do at Leaders We Deserve.
What is happening in New York is not isolated.
And it's not to say, Jen, I'm not going to sit here and say every single one of these incumbent challengers across the country is going to win.
But the effect is real and many of them are going to win.
Because even if we take out a few members of Congress this election cycle and get these incumbent challengers elected, even if it's five or six of them, it sends shockwaves through the political system where they start to freak out.
And I can tell you from my years of advocacy in the gun violence prevention space and now working in politics, politics is full... What dictates politics is cowardice.
These politicians on Capitol Hill are fucking cowards.
They're afraid of their own shadow and they continue to write off this progressive...
generational revolution that's happening in the democratic party against corporate moneyed special interests and say no no no that's an isolated thing that's an isolated thing it is not the data are showing us that this is going on around the country and that's what we do at leaders we deserve that's why we exist i saw back in college that
our party was becoming so old there was going to be a huge power vacuum that we could feel filled with better candidates and i believe the way to win i think our winning message in 2028 is going to have to be that we had our own internal struggles in the democratic party we rooted out much of the corruption got people elected who reject the influence of corporate pac money and aipac and now we actually are going to take down donald trump and his legacy and
all of his circle of grifters that are around him and actually hold them accountable.
And to me, that is a hell of a lot more of an appealing message to voters that can get the non-voter out to vote in the first place and build a real goddamn movement that people believe in and can believe in the future of our country in.
then just saying, you know what, guys, we're going to basically be Donald Trump light.
We've done that before.
It didn't work.
And if you don't believe that that is the strategy we should continue on, join us at Leaders We Deserve in helping to build that generational revolution.
