Fascism and division win when neighbors turn on each other. We beat that with understanding and mutual respect. Thank you Danilyn for showing up for these values every day by canvassing and hosting forums. Tomorrow, June 2nd, vote for Sean Dougherty! seanforcongress.org

I'm out here showing up to forums and talking directly with you, but Jimmy Panetta hasn't shown up once. He thinks corporate PAC money and a last name can buy this election. I take $0 PAC money. I'm fighting for the many, not the money. Vote for me by Tuesday, June 2nd!

Thank you to Danilyn for calling the Thom Hartmann Show to expose the $600k AI PAC dump for Jimmy Panetta. As a tech worker, I deeply understand how AI operates and will regulate Big Tech. I take $0 PAC money and can't be bought. Vote Sean Dougherty in the primary by June 2nd!

Sean Dougherty @seanforcongress.bsky.social · 30/05/2026
An AI Super PAC spent $600K for Jimmy Panetta. Tech billionaires like Greg Brockman, Marc Andreessen, and Ben Horowitz want a rubber stamp to build data centers that destroy our environment and kill jobs. This is a future for the many vs the money. Help us win June 2nd.

Healthcare is a human right. I fully support an expanded Medicare for All system that is free at the point of use. By passing Rep. Ro Khanna’s approach, states can redirect federal funds into their own single-payer systems, fixing the funding flaws of the past. Vote by June 2!

We pay far more to the feds than we get back. I want to keep our tax dollars here so Washington can't freeze our disaster relief. I'll fight to scrap the SALT cap and offer direct home hardening grants up to $10k for all homeowners. Let's protect our own communities.

Corporations profit off a massive military budget and use that as a stranglehold on Congress. It is time to overturn Citizens United and end private campaign donations. I refuse corporate cash because I answer to the people, not defense contractors. Let's vote for change by June 2.

This Memorial Day, we honor the service members who gave their lives for this country, and we hold their families in our hearts.  The best way we can truly honor their sacrifice is by committing to peace.

In a new Lookout SC letter to the editor, Unhae Langis shows why we must fund life, not death. While war devastates lives abroad, the cost is also felt here in our housing & healthcare crises. It’s time for the many, not the money. Vote for life not death on June 2. lookout.co/fund-life-no...

An AI Super PAC spent $600k to back Jimmy Panetta. That is 4x what my campaign spent all year. Monopolies want unregulated AI, and they know Panetta aligns with them. As a software engineer of 27 years, I know how to write real legislation to protect our jobs. Join us.

My position is clear: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. It isn't "self-defense" to fund a state committing these acts, it's enabling them. We must stop using our tax dollars to fuel the Iron Dome and instead demand: *Arms Embargo *End Apartheid *Divestment

Sean Dougherty @seanforcongress.bsky.social · 12/05/2026
International law shouldn't be a suggestion. For too long, U.S. policy has prioritized power moves over human rights while regular people pay the price. It’s time to prioritize peace over leverage. Primary Day is June 2. Let’s choose a future rooted in our shared humanity.

Honored to receive the endorsement of Democrats for Palestinian Rights. Since 10/7, we’ve watched a genocide unfold, supported by U.S. funds. We demand an immediate arms embargo, an end to apartheid, and the right of return. Stop funding genocide. Join us: seanforcongress.org

Billionaires are a threat to innovation and democracy. As long as they exist, they hold a disproportionate amount of power over our government. We need to overturn Citizens United and implement public campaign financing to build a system for the many, not the money. Vote June 2.

There’s a shift in the room when neighbors stop just talking about the news and start organizing. We’re building this in our living rooms because we’re done staying quiet while our rights are on the line. I’m going to D.C. to be the voice this community actually deserves.

Yesterday's candidate forum in Santa Cruz drove home the need for accountability. We must follow our own laws and reform institutions to serve their purpose. No more bypassing the Leahy Law to fuel genocide. It is time to hold those responsible for illegal wars accountable.
