The Baltimore City Council is adding the very first Latina ever — @odetteramos! #ElectWomen
The election of @naquettaricks in Colorado marks the first time a Liberian-American has been elected to a state legislature.
Women can and WILL win in Missouri. That's why we're so excited to congratulate these incredible Missouri women for advancing to the November general election! Together, these women are ready to make a real difference for women and families. #ElectWomen 
Congratulations @venglund for advancing to the general election for Missouri state treasurer! Vicki has been a public servant for over a decade, and she will bring her experience to the office of the state treasurer when she FLIPS this seat in November.
Congratulations @DebLavender for advancing to the general election! Deb understands the health care challenges Missourians face and she will work tirelessly to improve access when she wins in November.
This public health crisis is showing just how much we need more medical professionals in elected office across the country. Whether that be in the U.S. Senate, the House of Representatives, the state house, or the city council.
That’s why our president @Schriock1 is on a press call right now with five incredible medical professionals and EMILY’s List-endorsed candidates/ elected officials:

There has NEVER been a woman doctor in the Senate.

House Republicans WALK OUT on a bipartisan hearing about how the VA can help better female veterans’ lives, REFUSING TO VOTE.
They don’t care about women. They don’t care about vets. They don’t care about their constituents.
VOTE. THEM. OUT.
They don’t care about women. They don’t care about vets. They don’t care about their constituents.
VOTE. THEM. OUT.
If anyone wants to ask the COWARDLY Republicans on the committee why 2 million women vets don’t deserve better care, here they are:
@DrPhilRoe @RepGusBilirakis @RepBost @DrNealDunnFL2 @RepJackBergman @RepJimBanks @RepAndyBarr @RepMeuser @Rep_Watkins @RepChipRoy @RepGregSteube
@DrPhilRoe @RepGusBilirakis @RepBost @DrNealDunnFL2 @RepJackBergman @RepJimBanks @RepAndyBarr @RepMeuser @Rep_Watkins @RepChipRoy @RepGregSteube
ALL of these Republicans had a seat at the table every step of the way writing this legislation. Last minute they decide to throw additions on, stall voting, then storm out.
If any of these cowards represent your area, do they represent your values? Keep it in mind when voting.

On June 4, 1919 the amendment was passed by Congress and it was ratified on August 18, 1920.
** BUT not all women were given the right to vote. **
Even with the amendment, suffrage was hardly universal.

+ Millions remained legally or effectively disenfranchised, including Asian-Americans many of whom continued to be denied voting rights until the 1950s.
+ Nearly all Blacks in the South were disenfranchised until the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965.

1/ "Hillbilly Elegy" author J.D. Vance's family was from Eastern Kentucky and he mainly grew up in Southwest Ohio. I'm sure another Appalachian state (there are 13 to choose from) could use the influx of cash that a large scale Netflix production would bring in. #sundaymorning
2/ If you haven't read "Hillbilly Elegy", it's worth it if only to understand the righteous indignation in the far superior book about Appalachia called "What You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia" by Elizabeth Catte #Sundaymorning amazon.com/What-Getting-W…
3/ Ron Howard and Brian Grazer say they're shooting "Hillbilly Elegy" in Georgia so people who are counting on that income aren't left in the lurch, but if the abortion ban makes it through the courts, they'll move the production elsewhere. #sundaymorning
As your next U.S. Senator... I would act boldly on climate change. As a scientist, I know the price of inaction.
