tulsi is too chicken to debate Sherry Campagna.

The Hawaii Teacher's Union has endorsed Sherry.

HI-02: Hawaii Teachers Union Backs Gabbard Opponent For Congress


Harsh Criticism For Gabbard

“She was one of just three representatives, and the only Democrat who refused to condemn Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad’s genocidal chemical attack on his own people. After the attack, Gabbard traveled to Syria to meet with the genocidal dictator al-Assad without permission from the White House or Congress. Her trip was funded by a group with ties to al-Assad supporters and she only covered the expenses herself after the news media reported who paid for her trip.

Then, after al-Assad bombed his people again, Gabbard continued to refuse to admit the attack had occurred. At the same time, she voted to practically ban Syrian refugees from coming into the United States after the Paris terrorist attacks, even though Syrian refugees were not involved in the attacks.”



Sherry Campagna appears with HSTA members at a May 22 press conference announcing the union’s endorsement of her challenge to U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard in Hawaii’s 2nd District Congressional race.

WTH was El Sayed thinking "breaking campaign finance laws"

"It's the height of hypocrisy that Mr. El-Sayed would publicly condemn others for completely legal activity and then so brazenly break campaign finance laws himself," said Mark Burton, a former chief of staff to Whitmer who is running the Build a Better Michigan group.

Oh WOW.. I missed this OP. So Now

El Sayed has Deleted the 2nd Tweet that he was attempting to "Clear Up" the "money Laundering" accusation Tweet?! With the "legal money laundering" tweet? And, he's "breaking campaign finance law"?

El Sayed has done nothing but attack

United Steelworkers District 2 Endorses Gretchen Whitmer for Governor

LANSING, MICHIGAN — Today, United Steelworkers District 2 announced their support for Gretchen Whitmer for Governor. With this latest endorsement, Whitmer’s unprecedented momentum continues, as 19 statewide labor organizations representing over 1 million Michigan workers and retirees join her movement.

United Steelworkers District 2 Director Michael Bolton said Whitmer’s time on the front lines fighting for hardworking Michigan families makes her our strongest candidate to take back the governor’s office.

“Gretchen knows that to get ahead, Michiganders need one good job, and they need a way to get to that job safely,” said Bolton. “With Gretchen in the governor’s office, we’re going to fix our roads, treat workers with the respect they deserve, and give people the skills they need to get ahead. She’ll take on the tough fights to protect our wages, our benefits, and our right to collectively bargain, and we’re proud to be in her corner.”

Whitmer is a mom, former legislator, union member, prosecutor and Senate Democratic Leader who knows how to get things done. As the first woman to lead a caucus in the Michigan Senate, Whitmer brokered the deal to expand Medicaid in Michigan, which has given more than 680,000 people coverage through Healthy Michigan and passed a minimum wage increase with a cost-of-living adjustment.
