This is a horrible tragedy and our prayers go out to the families and friends of the crew and all those affected. abcnews.com/US/air-force-52-…

🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT! 🚨 “Our district deserves a representative who shows up for everyone: someone who listens, works hard, and puts people before politics. I've worked alongside a lot of people in public service, and I know that the ones who make a real difference are those who lead with humility and stay focused on the community they serve. Mitchell Berman is exactly that kind of person. He's honest, hardworking, and committed to putting local priorities first. I'm proud to endorse him.” Thank you for your endorsement, Ann!

Today I was proud to stand alongside and support seniors, veterans, retirees, and union members at a rally in Racine. Social Security and Medicare are lifelines that millions of Americans have paid into over their lifetime of hard work. These programs should be protected, not put at risk. I will always fight to make sure working families can retire and that future generations can benefit as well. Thank you to all of those who came out and made their voices heard. The conversations I had today were a reminder that these issues aren’t political – they’re personal.

Thank you @WalworthCoDems, @MarkPocan, and all my fellow candidates for a great event this weekend. All the support and excitement in Walworth County is only the latest sign that people are fed up with B.S. and ready for a change this fall.

Fantastic time at the Rock County Dairy Breakfast this morning! No better way to celebrate Dairy Month. Took me right back to my childhood helping out my grandpa and uncle who were both small dairy farmers.

Thank you to everyone who came out to our meet and greet at the Hedberg Public Library in Janesville yesterday — and all who shared your questions, your stories, and your ideas on what it will take to get rid of B.S. and restore some sanity to Washington.

As someone who worked at the VA, I saw firsthand the wounds our young men and women brought back from Iraq and Afghanistan. The War Powers Act of 1973 was sponsored by Clement Zablocki, a Congressman from Milwaukee and the namesake of the Zablocki VA in Milwaukee, where I began my career as a VA nurse. Congress has a responsibility to hold the White House accountable for yet another costly, directionless war overseas. Today, the House finally stepped up to do something about it – but Bryan Steil continues to ignore his Constitutional responsibility. foxnews.com/politics/trump-s…

Wishing everyone a happy Pride Month! Pride extends beyond a single month, but June is an especially important time to recognize the achievements and hard-fought progress for equality in our state and nation, and all the work still ahead. Remembering the history of activism and collective action from the LGBTQ communities and allies, and all their work along the way, will help us strive for a more inclusive and equal tomorrow – and to remember why it's more important than ever to show up, speak out, and stand together for equality.

"Look, I'm not a politician. I didn't start with a big rolodex of millionaires that I could just call up and have my campaign coffers full." Dem congressional candidate Mitchell Berman on why he says he's the Dem to take on Rep Bryan Steil in 1st CD:

It was an honor to be able to celebrate Memorial Day with folks in Beloit, Janesville, and Rochester — thinking of those no longer with us, remembering their sacrifice, and appreciating what we have today in our families and communities.

Putting off a vote because you know it will pass? And these people call themselves "representatives." End the war in Iran.

Trump isn't concerned with higher prices and neither is @RepBryanSteil . Ask anyone in our district, and not one of them would call the increase in gas prices 'peanuts'. Maybe to billionaires and the political class. Not peanuts to working class families. newsweek.com/donald-trump-ap…

Once again we are told that we'll just need to endure a little more "short term pain" for this illegal and directionless war. But for some reason that pain is always reserved for the working class. The billionaires – and the political class – are doing just fine.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms out there! I want to especially acknowledge my wife, our superhero, the heart of our family, and the most amazing role model for our daughters. We love you more than words can say. Thank you for everything you do, every single day.
