UAW turns out for Will Lawrence @WeWill2026.bsky.social & me!!! Labor is on a comeback in America, and I’ve rarely seen such enthusiasm on the ground for progressive candidates. Workers have just had it up to here with a system rigged for the ultra-wealthy, who need to pay their fair share!

I’m not really used to candidates taller than me, but @WeWill2026.bsky.social is 6’6”! I’ve said over and over that we need to have the POLITICAL WILL to expand Social Security, and in MI-07 that means HAVE THE WILL TO ELECT WILL LAWRENCE!!! THEY *WILL*!!! One of the most progressive of all!

I don’t quite feel like I did this @JanelleStelson.com press conference justice on here last week. She is going to finally rid the political world of Scott Perry! And this was one heck of an event!

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 15/10/2026

@CaitforNewYork.bsky.social is a dynamo! Cait Conley is about to unseat phony “moderate” Mike Lawler in NY-17. Lawler has a pitiful 13% lifetime rating on senior issues. Some “moderate”!!! Cait is a *fighter,* a West Point grad & 16-year army officer. Lawler is no match for her!

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

On from PA to NJ. Navy helicopter pilot @RebeccaforNJ07.bsky.social will unseat Tom Kean Jr., who wants to privatize Social Security & turn it over to Wall St. Kean knows a lot about this, since when he took off 4 months from work this year, he still traded stocks the entire time. Ugh!!!

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Well, if I had to pick the most exhilarating event of my 2026 tour of America’s elections, it might be this one. Gotta say that PA-07 candidate firefighter @VoteBobBrooks and I wowed an electric SRO crowd at the historic Steelworkers Hall in Bethlehem PA Friday! What a day!!

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Packed houses & great volunteer base too for Scranton Mayor @PaigeCognetti.bsky.social in PA-08! Her opponent Rob Bresnahan, wants to turn your Social Security over to Wall Street. And his massive insider trading scandal shows he’s pretty cozy with Wall St already! VOTE HIM OUT!!!

13910

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

There are candidates & then there are candidates. @PaigeCognetti.bsky.social is on my shortest list, the one I call “You just need to be in Congress!” The Mayor of Scranton is experienced, graceful, gracious, tough… honestly there aren’t enough adjectives to describe her. PA-08, VOTE HER IN!!!

0437

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

PA has the greatest concentration of flippable House races in a small geographic area anywhere in America. This hug started the press conference I emceed for @JanelleStelson, who’s going to beat the vile Scott Perry. Perry says he “has the courage to cut Social Security.” SEND HIM HOME!!!

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

The map is expanding & I’m helping it expand! On my Florida trip I held a 2-hour Social Security town hall in The (infamously red) Villages with FL-11 endorsee @JamesPericola. The place was packed, because The Villages are turning bluer! Pericola is to my left in this photo. Watch out!

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

The map is expanding and I’m helping it expand! While in Florida I endorsed Kimberly Overman @leadersmatter.bsky.social in FL -12 against Gus Bilirakis. She is a state legislator who was a certified financial planner for 30 years & knows retirement security better than any candidate anywhere!

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

In my time in Florida we @socialsecurityworks.org PAC endorsed some great candidates. One is @Kirschner4Congress.bsky.social in FL-16, an open seat. This Georgetown grad is the real deal, former Mayor of Sarasota running against wildly unqualified Sydney Gruters, wife of horrific RNC chair Joe.

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Thank you, JD Vance, for bringing @angieforfl.bsky.social a giant step closer to the political earthquake of the century. Angie just tells the truth, boldly, unflinchingly, fearlessly, while you lie about everything, including her love of country. She must scare the hell out of you.

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

This is the closest I’ve ever been to a Brigadier General. My brother served for lifetime and was a Colonel. @LeelaJGray is the perfect retired officer- authoritative, informed & powerful, without even a shred of arrogance. VOTE FOR HER IN FL-13 to defeat the absurd Anna Paulina Luna!!!

19927

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Retired Brigadier General @LeelaJGray packs the kind of political punch that can take out Anna Paulina Luna even in the gerrymandered FL-13. Luna ‘s so extreme she introduced a bill to codify DOGE’s horrific fake “reforms” into law! “Luna-tic” really is more like it!

0368

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

One of the best campaign events I’ve done so far was this one with Retired Brigadier General @LeelaJGray. This dynamo is going after one of the most ridiculous Trump enablers of them all- MAGA maniac Anna Paulina Luna in FL-13. Luna has a pitiful 4% lifetime rating on senior issues!

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Then, one of my favorite endorsed candidates, JoAnna Mendoza @Mendoza4AZ, came down with Covid & I had to cover our Town Hall at Saddlebrooke Ranch by myself! JoAnna’s a Marine drill instructor, so I hope I did OK!!! If you want “toughness” from Democrats, elect JoAnna in AZ-06!

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Yesterday was a pretty big test of my Social Security chops. First, 90 minutes as the only speaker in a Social Security Town Hall in Tucson sponsored by the AZ Democratic Party Senior Council. I also touted 2 great candidates- @JoannaMendoza.com & Congresswoman @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social!

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Great turnout for my canvass kickoff in Vista, CA endorsing @marnivonwilpert.bsky.social! She will vote to protect & expand your Social Security. Her opponent, Jim Desmond doesn’t even care your gas costs over $6.50. HE SUPPORTS TRUMP’S WAR!!! “No pain, no gain,” he says!

03812

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I just LOVE House candidate @marnivonwilpert.bsky.social in CA-48, the district that proudly doesn’t have Darrell Issa to kick around any more. He got scared of Marni & quit! Here we are at a canvass kickoff in Vista. Marni’s opponent, Jim Desmond, voted AGAINST restoring brutal GOP Medicaid cuts!

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Sarah Trone Garriott @SarahforIowa.bsky.social has been a public servant her whole life. She’s a minister & chaplain & a State Senator too. She leads with her values. Her IA-03 opponent, Zach Nunn, tries to paint a pretty picture of his very ugly voting record, including that Big Ugly Bill!

0304

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Iowa’s Third District is as crucial as any House race in America. Republican Incumbent Zach Nunn pretends he’s for seniors when his record shows otherwise. Here I describe his pitiful 10% rating out of 100% & urge residents of Walnut Ridge Senior Living to vote for @sarahforiowa.bsky.social

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Final posting from the streets of Eau Claire. It goes for all of them- Derrick Van Orden, Tom Tiffany, Bryan Steil in the south- HOW LOW CAN THEY GO?

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

In Chippewa Falls, WI with Cyndi Greening, @chippewavalley.bsky.social, the greatest activist I know. Cyndi taught digital media for 38 years & also has a background in marketing. We’re spreading her expertise wherever good candidates are found!

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Never been upstaged by a hippo before & rarely have played a piano in the street. But “Health Care Hippo-crites” invaded Eau Claire to call out Derrick Van Orden for stealing his constituents’ health care & lying about it. Elect @rebeccaforwi.bsky.social !!!

08819

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

We demonstrated yesterday in Eau Claire against “Health Care Hippo-crites” Derrick Van Orden (shown below) & Tom Tiffany. They pretend they’re on your side while they consistently vote to take away your health care! Elect @RebeccaforWI.bsky.social in WI-03 & @davidcrowley4wi.bsky.social Gov!!!

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

After our blockbuster rally for @MBermanWI.bsky.social in Cudahy, we went to Milwaukee where Tom Tiffany was spouting some lies to donors. Tiffany’s record on senior issues is even worse than Berman’s opponent Bryan Steil, & he has the gall to want to be governor!!! And so we sang…

03610

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

This is my favorite from Wisconsin’s First District in support of @MBermanWI . Audience participation at its finest as video’d by activist extraordinaire LuAnnBird84!

66219

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

A campaign is only as good as its activists. Meet LuAnn Bird, @LuAnnBird84, from Cudahy, Wisconsin. She is supporting @MBermanWI for Congress in WI-01. And she is a force to be reckoned with. Watch this space all day for proof of the awesomeness of LuAnn!

2554

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Let me introduce you to Mitchell Berman, @MBermanWI.bsky.social, a nurse & health care expert running for Congress in WI-01 against back bench waste of space Bryan Steil, a ZERO on senior issues in 2025 who voted to endanger hospitals & nursing homes with his Big Ugly Bill. BYE BYE BRYAN!!!

13612

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Wisconsin’s First Congressional District isn’t even on most people’s radar. But it should be. There is an unbelievable amount of enthusiasm to elect nurse Mitchell Berman @MBermanWI & to send Bryan Steil home, as you can see in this photo of me addressing a gigantic audience on Social Security!

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

There was another packed house in Cedar Rapids for our Social Security Town Hall featuring the incredibly vibrant candidate for Congress in IA-02 Lindsay James @lindsay4iowa.bsky.social, brilliant former Social Security Commissioner @martinomalley.bsky.social, & me. A privilege to be there!

2231

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

There is a really unique House candidate this cycle: the absolutely vibrant Lindsay James @lindsay4iowa.bsky.social She’s a mom, a minister & a state legislator all rolled into one. And she’s a DYNAMO! Now’s our chance to reclaim IA-02, an open seat. Do what you can to help Lindsay win!!!

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

This is a forum on Social Security in Juneau, Alaska. Place was packed. We had to leave the front row open for camera angles on the livestream. Alaska must elect @marypeltola.com & @billhillforalaska.bsky.social to implement good public policy for seniors. Dan Sullivan & Nick Begich have FAILED!!!

03711

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Delivering the official @SSWorks PAC endorsement of @billhillforalaska.bsky.social in Anchorage at the Bartlett Community Forum. A fun moment in a substance-filled meeting before a packed house. Bill Hill returned a PERFECT questionnaire, while Nick Begich is a literal ZERO on senior issues!

12410

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

The weekly Bartlett Community Forum meeting at Anchorage Senior Center is Alaska’s most important gathering of seniors. The place was packed because I arranged for our endorsed House candidate @billhillforalaska.bsky.social to appear there with me. Bill is the real deal, like the Center’s piano!!!

0256

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

I love this photo from the Montana Standard because I think @SamForstag.bsky.social is one of the very best new House candidates in America. This is after our Butte Town Hall. Sam returned a perfect questionnaire on senior issues. Opponent Aaron Flint never responded at all.

06018

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

The wonderfully gracious Mary Peltola’s opponent, Dan Sullivan, has been trying to privatize Social Security since he got to the Senate. So while I was in Anchorage, we @SSWorks gave him the Roadblock to Social Security award. He’s earned it! ELECT MARY PELTOLA!!!

48318

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

In Anchorage, we present Senator Dan Sullivan with his well-earned “Roadblock to Social Security” award. Well, he didn’t show up to accept it, probably because he didn’t want to be anywhere near the Social Security office behind us. ELECT MARY PELTOLA!!!

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Butte Montana Senior Issues Town Hall with the incredible MT-01 candidate @SamForstag.bsky.social. Place was packed and Sam is just so knowledgable on the issues, besides being a smokejumper into forest fires & a union official. I *love* Montana & Sam is going to flip this seat!

111355

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

@SamForstag.bsky.social is close to a perfect Congressional candidate. He’s a smokejumper & official in his union, & everybody loves firefighters. Besides which he is so smart & so warm- just an extraordinary human being. Here we are in Butte, MT at his Town Hall. VOTE SAM FOR MT-01!!!

03510

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Our @SSWorks rally outside Community Medical Center makes front page news in The Missoulian! I spoke along with GREAT Congressional candidate @SamForstag.bsky.social and State Rep SJ Howell. My Montana trip was a HUGE success!!! VOTE FOR SAM IN MT-01!!!

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Picked up the piano in Bozeman at Music Villa for tonight’s Town Hall with @SamForstag.bsky.social in Butte. Turned out Blue in this photo recognized me & recreated the “Bowzer” pose from his childhood!

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

ln beautiful Bozeman with spectacular House candidate @samforstag.bsky.social who is taking Montana by storm! More to come tonight from our Senior Issues Town Hall in Butte!

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Tried hard as I could to keep John Larson in Congress to protect & expand Social Security. Then on to Austin for DNC Seniors Council meeting on Social Security birthday with Jim Roosevelt, FDR’s grandson, pictured here. I laid out the ‘26 races for everybody. Now back on the road to win them!

With CA-22 candidate Randy Villegas @Villegas_CA22 at the California Alliance for Retired Americans Central Coast Convention in Fresno, where I did the Keynote Address! What an dynamic speaker Randy is! David Valadao is going home in November!!!

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

We NEED @johnlarsonct.bsky.social in Congress! He is the greatest Social Security champion we have in the House of Representatives! His primary is tomorrow & I’m in Hartford helping make sure he WINS!!! CT-01, DON’T GIVE UP YOUR POWER! Larson is the best!!!

JonBowzerBauman.bsky.social @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

I served as keynote speaker at the California Alliance for Retired Americans Central Coast Convention this week. Everyone’s excited about great candidates Randy Villegas in CA-22 & of course incumbent Adam Gray.
