'At this moment, I believe the best way for me to make the greatest difference in American politics in 2024 and beyond is this: to run for reelection to the House of Representatives in Marylands extraordinary 8th District; and
to mobilize thousands of Democracy Summer Fellows and raise millions of dollars and everyones spirit to fortify and build up Democratic majorities in the House and Senate; and
to go anywhere in America where President Biden, Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and other Americans ask me to go to campaign for a runaway victory for the party of democracy, freedom, justice and progress; and
to become the Chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee in a Democratic Congress, working to use our resources to guarantee the rights and freedoms of the people, to secure the integrity of every branch of government; to expose and root out corruption, waste and violation of the Constitution and our ethics laws; and to mentor and support the remarkable junior Members I have worked to assemble on our Committee over this first Congress as our Ranking Member; and
to spread constitutional literacy and understanding throughout America by teaching a nationwide on-line constitutional law class to anyone who wants to join me; and
to build a Democratic Party that will not only defeat the kleptocrats and theocrats at home but the autocrats abroad, and will effectively confront the overarching challenges of our time: climate emergency, the aggressive spread of disinformation and propaganda, the erosion of the rule of law, and the uncontrolled rise of artificial intelligence which can become either an instrument of progress for our people or a power tool of the dictators and bullies.'>
