Demand better leadership

Congressional leaders orchestrate the legislative agenda and coordinate committee activities. They are the power players who determine what gets done and when. If they don't want progress, there's a good chance it doesn't happen, and that's a problem with Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer at the helm.

The election was only the first step. When the American people voted in a blue wave, it was a rebuke of Trump and a mandate for change and accountability. We delivered the Democrats a solid majority to enact the change we demanded, but Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are more focused on their own political ambitions than on the will and needs of the people they claim to represent. Putting Israel first, they are dismissive of their constituents, pretending they've already won the leadership positions, and are ready to get back to doing nothing. Hakeem Jeffries has already failed in his first task of leadership by not whipping the Democratic vote on impeaching the violent war criminal Pete Hegseth.

With leadership like Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer over the Democratic Party in Congress, America will enter an era of coasting by. The fervor of the recent electorate cast aside, the Democratic Party will be ill equipped to handle the carnage of Trump or to deliver for the people. We can't afford such feckless leadership.

If you are interested in maintaining the recent momentum toward positive change, call your representative and demand that they support new leadership, someone who can guide the party toward positive change and accountability, someone who is not Hakeem Jeffries or Chuck Schumer, someone for the future.
