We have a lot more priorities and things we need to advance but the reality is we have to grow the house majority, take back the senate and win the white house and i am hear to tell you the reason we are optimistic is because we believe the things will happen in november. What happened to my former party. You got a speaker who bragging about defunding the police. He is bragging about defunding the top Law Enforcement agencies in america.
