*- Leading his congressional race, but it has yet to be officially called

We made this happen!
We said NO to Discrimination and Hate! We the American People stood up and said no!
We said it in one Voice.

We must continue to say it Together as ONE!

Who is with me in this fight. We can not be silent ever again.
This is our Democracy.
This is our lives.
