Pete Buttigieg is by far the billionaires’ top darling amongst all of the Democratic candidates who are running for President, and his stand on healthcare is one of the major reasons for this.
I received many different reactions from people when they first heard I had won the June primary write-in campaign and would be facing Barbara Lee in November.
As you can imagine, some people were shocked that anyone would challenge the most progressive congressperson in Washington. Others, however, immediately started sharing with me their everyday struggles and challenges that they wanted ME to pressure Barbara Lee about.
Mission accepted. This campaign is all about PRESSURE!

But it wasn't just their two respective approaches to health care.
Last year Blue America looked carefully at the race in the west Houston congressional district held by Paul Ryan rubber stamp John Culberson. The district, which went from a pretty red area with a PVI of R+13 in 2015 voted 48.5% to 47.1% for Clinton (after giving Romney a 59.9-38.6% win over Obama) and now has a more manageable R+7 PVI.
