Conspiracy rumors about Joaquin working with Republicans are just some of the latest, negative, personal attacks. Yelling across the aisle doesn’t get anything done either. It’s time to elect a new generation of leaders. Congress is broken. It needs to be fixed.

Please share this video and help us get the truth out.
