what can I do to help if Van Hollen is my senator?

Both of New York's Senators are compromised by their lengthy connections to the corporate cabal that dallies with democrats dependent on their largesse. Schumer has been patiently waiting for his reward now that Nancy Pelosi is out of the way. Will the democratic bag men, come through for him? Or will they woo instead the sexy new socialist stars? Time will tell....

Good! We need new leaders in the Senate AND the House who won't go along with 'business as usual', which basically means not fighting for universal heathcare, SNAP benefits, etc, and taking AIPAC money.

Wow it's so cool that you had a hand in this. This is the best news since the election. Hoping and praying!

I so agree that Schumer is past his use by date. I’ve been impressed with Van Hollen’s demonstration of intestinal fortitude against the alleged president. Plus I like his positions on the issues you’ve highlighted. In addition, I’d like to know what experience and skills he has that will enable him to be a strong, effective speaker. He will be herding cats given the Democrat’s traditional propensity for circular firing squads.

Will do for Van Hollen. But we need Jefferies!

Thank you for this. I had already called both my senators and my representative to let them know that I did not want to have Chuck Schumer or Jeffries as our majority leaders. I will now call tomorrow both my senators to ask them to vote for Van Hollen.

Hoping our CA senators support. Leaving comments for both.

Were I a Democrat representing Ohio in the Senate, or House of Representatives, Van Hollen would have my support, as it's time for the old guard to step aside

Please remind folks we must call our Senators to support @Senator Chris Van Hollen

Contacted both of my Democratic senators. And I suspect they will support Van Hollen. Washington Democrats are (mostly) progressive!

GOOD! Remove the DINO fake Democratic Leaders who have done little to stop the fascist takeover of our country, government, laws, education, healthcare, and justice. Van Hollen is a much better choice.
