She lost by 100 votes. How you treat your constituents matters.

I know we got a million think pieces on NYC Dem congressional primaries last year.
I hope some of the DC/NY press hop on down to WNC to write a few on the lessons Dems can learn from how an old country farmer took a Trump +10 seat and won it by 16.
I'm a patriot who has always been a partner to the land, my community, and Western North Carolina. It’s these deep-rooted values that I'm going to bring to Congress.

Great Ted Talk from our @edfaction board member @powersjon. It’s well worth a watch, and Jon nails it. We need a strategy to beat back opposition to local solar + storage:

Do you understand how bad you have to mess up for major outlets to be doing primetime interviews with DEMOCRATIC candidates for THE TEXAS RAILROAD COMMISSION
The only color I saw on Saturday night was burnt orange.
Glad to speak with @jaketapper tonight on CNN.

This is the Republican nominee for statewide office. Are other Republican elected officials going to condemn the intolerance and racism, or look the other way while it becomes normalized. This is how great political parties self-destruct. Sad.

For those keeping count.
Today marks seven years since the last time @RepScottPerry held an in-person town hall.

It was an honor to be at the Washington National Cathedral today to pay tribute to the late Senator Lindsey Graham. I got to know him in another era of American politics, when we worked together on market-based solutions for a cleaner climate... 1/2

Last week OMB Director Vought lied to my face when he said they don’t use politics in funding decisions. Now we have proof. In court, the Trump admin admits they based decisions on who the states voted for President. That’s a disgusting abuse of power.

Really strong piece from @David_K_Kieve about how Democrats can be the party of energy - clean energy - that lowers utility bills.
Worth reading.

The art of the deal:
pay billions of dollars to take offshore wind farms offline
then pay hundreds of millions of more to prop up coal plants
teapaw.org/jenniferjjacobs/status…
Trump at 3 pm today will announce $700 million for 13 current coal plants plus two new ones, sources told @saraecook @RichardEscobedo and me. He's using Defense Production Act. @CBSNews

Everyone loses when our government denies science and dismantles health and safety protections.
The EPA exists to safeguard our health and wellbeing. So why is Administrator Lee Zeldin opening a conference of extreme climate deniers? The Trump administration's actions are leading to higher energy prices, more pollution and more toxic chemicals in our lives. They're playing games with our lives, and we're all paying the price.

Trump is paying a foreign company nearly $1 BILLION of YOUR money to stop building wind farms in America that would have lowered your electricity bills.
He lost in court FIVE times trying to kill these projects that would have powered over a million homes. So he decided to buy his way out of it instead.
Yes, you heard that right. The President of the United States is literally spending your tax dollars to make your energy bills more expensive.
