Likely Democratic primary voters who have participated in at least one of the last three primary elections need to see in their mailboxes and across digital platforms including OTT/CTV, YouTube, Meta, and programmatic, that:
Jake has been effectively standing up to Donald Trump and corruption in Washington.
When the Trump Administration started enacting dangerous policies, Jake didn’t sit on the sidelines — he took action to fight back and stand up for Democratic values
As a young parent, he knows the dangers of social media and has been one of big tech’s toughest critics in Congress
As a Marine veteran, he knows first hand we need to get weapons of war off our streets and he isn’t afraid to stand up to the NRA

TALARICO, AUCHINCLOSS: Trump’s blood for oil strategy is as reckless as it is illegal
"One of us is a congressman who commanded Marines in jungle training in Latin America. The other is a state representative and candidate for the U.S. Senate out of Texas, the biggest oil producer in the country. We’re both members of Majority Democrats, a group of elected leaders dedicated to rebuilding trust with the exhausted majority of Americans. Whether seen from the perspective of the military or the Texas middle class, we agree: Republicans in Congress are failing to provide a check and balance on warmongering."

Digital Dopamine Is Consuming America. It’s Time to Fight for IRL.
"As the father of three children under 6, I do not want their brains programmed by corporations, like software. And as a congressman on the committee that oversees much of technology and commerce, I know there are deeper forces at work here: In our laws and in our markets, America has stacked the deck in favor of virtual reality over our material reality."
The economist - by invitation
A congressman on how Democrats can regain the initiative on the economy.
"Housing, healthcare, and utilities all still suffer from cost disease. Curing it...should be a prime promise from Democrats. Cut regulations that drive up costs, like zoning does for housing. Promote technology that takes out cost, particularly in hospital services. Take on special interests, like the health insurance corporations, that keep prices high.
We strive for an economy where Americans are building more, better and faster to lower prices. We reject an economy captured by middlemen or monopolists. We embrace an economy that works like Legos, not Monopoly."
