The fact that so many of us are being threatened with replacement by the exact opposite individuals who would put party first, over protecting our democracy is truly a five-alarm fire for the future of our elections and democracy.
Voters have everywhere an opportunity to choose to elect secretaries of state from either side of the political spectrum, who will do their jobs with integrity, from a nonpartisan standpoint.
Waiting until November cannot be an answer. That will cost us at least 25,000 more victims.

Our hearts keep getting broken. Enough is enough.
Our administration is working around the clock to ensure that there is enough safe baby formula available for who all who need it, and it is truly one of our highest priorities.
As you recall when we pass the Election Integrity Act of 2021, everyone said it was going to make it hard for people to vote. Well, the numbers prove them wrong, doesn't it?

Think about that for a second. From the moment of fertilization -- it`s outrageous, and it`s just the latest in a series of extreme laws around the country.
Just half an hour ago, in Oklahoma, the state legislature passed one of the most extreme abortion bans in the country. It’s outrageous and it’s just the latest in a series of extreme laws around the country.
