#Louisiana Please vote blue up & down the ballot. If you want better for yourselves, you have to vote better. Try a change. The current controlling party has had a grasp on you for years, but they don’t do anything to help you. They support all of the DC policies that are hurting folks. Vote blue.

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.
