She lives in Crescent Beach, Florida and has called Florida home for more than a decade. Kristen Carlson FL-15 Kristen Carlson is an attorney, an advocate, a mother, and a fighter for hardworking Floridians. Kristen started her law career as a prosecutor in Pasco County and then served as the first female general counsel for the Florida Department of Citrus in Lakeland. A tough negotiator, Kristen fought to protect Florida’s citrus growers, manufacturers, and consumers from fraud. Kristen’s mother was a frontline Army surgical nurse who served in WWII and her father was a career fighter pilot with the Air Force. She understands the meaning of service and she has spent her career serving the people of Florida. Lauren Baer FL-18 Lauren Baer brings more than a decade of national security and legal expertise to her run for Congress in Florida’s 18th Congressional District, where she was raised and her family's roots run deep. Lauren served as an official in the Obama Administration from 2011-2017, acting as a senior advisor to two Secretaries of State and to the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Prior to her State Department service, she was a litigator at WilmerHale LLP, where she focused on transnational disputes and federal appeals. Since she launched her campaign, Lauren has racked up strong local and national endorsements and turned heads with her impressive fundraising out of the gate. Mary Barzee Flores FL-25 Mary Barzee Flores was born and raised in Miami. Her parents served in the military and her own career in public service began as a federal Public Defender in Miami prior to being elected to serve as a Florida Circuit Court Judge. In 2015, President Barack Obama nominated Mary for a seat on the U.S. District Court -- but Senator Marco Rubio blocked her nomination and she was never given a hearing. Mary’s record of service and commitment to her community is the reason she is running for Congress and she will fight for South Florida in Washington.

Mucarsel-Powell has dedicated more than twenty years to improving access to healthcare, protecting the environment, and increasing educational opportunities in South Florida. Mucarsel-Powell is running for Congress because the opportunities this country offered enabled her family to achieve the American Dream and those same opportunities are disappearing for too many families. Florida's 26th district is one of the top swing districts in the country and Mucarsel-Powell has built a grassroots campaign that can turn this seat blue. Lucy McBath GA-06 Lucy McBath is a mother, wife, and businesswoman who became an advocate for social justice following the fatal shooting of her son, Jordan Davis.

Abby Finkenauer IA-01 Abby, a first-generation college graduate and Iowa State Representative, launched her campaign in April and is a proven advocate for working families.

In Congress, she will work to get results for Iowa families and advocate for better jobs, higher wages and access to affordable health care. Betsy Dirksen Londrigan IL-13 Betsy Dirksen Londrigan’s roots in Central Illinois go back generations, to when her great-grandparents moved there searching for a better life. A mother, self-employed entrepreneur, and non-profit leader, Londrigan stepped up to run for Congress when she saw Republican incumbent Rep. Rodney Davis and Washington Republicans vote to take health care away from families like hers and raise the cost of their health care. After watching her son fight a life-threatening illness, Londrigan appreciates the importance of access to quality, affordable health care. Londrigan understands the needs of working families and will always put them ahead of Washington special interests. Lauren Underwood IL-14 Lauren Underwood brings a critical perspective to this race as a registered nurse, with hands-on health care experience. She is the first woman to receive the Democratic nomination in her district. Lauren began her career helping to implement the ACA, and President Obama appointed Lauren to serve as a Senior Advisor at the Department of Health and Human Services. There, she helped communities prevent, prepare for, and respond to disasters, bioterror threats, and public health emergencies. During a swimming lesson when she was 8 years old, Lauren discovered that she had a heart condition.

  • Inside the Democrats' Battle to Take Back Texas
    FT Magazine US presidential election 2020 Inside the Democrats’ battle to take back Texas Will shifting demographics and anti-Trump energy be enough to reverse the state’s long Republican dominance? Demetri Sevastopulo 13 MINUTES AGO The first time Sima Ladjevardian experienced a political revolution, she was 12 years old and sitting in a classroom in Tehran in the middle of what felt like an earthquake. “Everything was shaking,” she says, recalling the uprising that engulfed Iran four decades ago and led to the country’s Islamic republic. “We all came out and it was a sea of people throwing acid into the school and shooting guns in the air. Very scary.” There had been whispers at home about the dangers of the revolution. Ladjevardian’s grandmother had helped women secure the right to vote and then become a member of parliament. Her father was also an MP at the time. But after that eventful day, those rumours turned into a harsh reality when her mother told her and her brother that they would go to Paris — just for a short while. “I had a really weird premonition that we were just never gonna go back,” she says. She was right. Her family spent two years in France, before moving to California to pursue the American dream. As a teenager, Ladjevardian perfected her English by watching Star Wars. Now 54, she talks to me from Houston, Texas, where in next month’s US elections she will embark on her own political quest with the Democratic party: she is campaigning to oust Dan Crenshaw, a freshman Republican in the second congressional district in Texas.

Grassley Chairman, Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate 224 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Via E-mail ([email protected]) and United States Mail The Honorable Patrick J. Leahy Ranking Member, Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate 437 Russell Senate Building Washington, DC 20510 Re: Nomination of Mary Barzee Flores to the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida Dear Chairman Grassley and Ranking Member Leahy: We are former Assistant State Attorneys and we write in support of the confirmation of Mary Barzee Flores to become a United States District Judge for the Southern District of Florida. Although since leaving the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office our professional paths have taken us in varied directions, we all fondly remember practicing before Judge Barzee. Our experiences before her have convinced us all that she has the intelligence, integrity, demeanor, judgment, and commitment to justice necessary to be an excellent addition to the federal bench. Judge Barzee graduated cum laude from the University of Miami School of Law, and thereafter tried federal cases with the Federal Public Defender's Office in Miami. In 2002, she was elected without opposition to Florida's Eleventh Judicial Circuit Comi in Miami, Florida, re-elected to the court in 2008 and served until 2011. We practiced before Judge Barzee when she was assigned to the criminal division and were sony to see her retire from the state court bench to return to the practice of law.

  • US HOUSE and SENATE ELECTIONS PREVIEW the Battle for Control of Congress
    US HOUSE AND SENATE ELECTIONS PREVIEW The Battle For Control Of Congress US House and Senate Elections Preview | The Battle For Control Of Congress • 1 As of Thursday, October 22, driven by huge increases in both voting by mail and early voting in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly 35% of the number of voters who cast ballots in 2016 have already voted in 2020. While we can’t say for certain what that means for either presidential candidate’s prospects, we do know that interest in the 2020 election is polling at an all-time high and it appears that reactions, both negative and positive, to President Trump’s term in office is what is sparking that interest. Congressional Republicans, particularly Senate Republicans standing for re-election, who had hoped to “localize” their races haven’t been able to get out of the shadow cast by the President and 2020 is turning into a very “nationalized” race. The GOP, if polling is to be believed, is back on its heels as it enters into the final stretch in targeted Senate and House races. But as they say, a week is a lifetime in politics, and we’ve got just a little over a lifetime and a half left before Nov 3. In this piece, we look at the “undercard” of key competitive Senate and House races across the country as whether we end up with one party control of both Congress and the White House or a continuation of divided government will be critical to the chances of success for the legislative agenda of whoever is our President.

  • Page Velocity Update July 17, 2020 Congressional Schedule. Both the House and Senate Return to Washington Next Week, Though
    Velocity Update July 17, 2020 Congressional Schedule. Both the House and Senate return to Washington next week, though with the extension of the “vote-by-proxy” rule in the House, we expect some Members will continue to participate in House activities remotely. (More below.) U.S. Economic Outlook Weekly numbers and long-term outlook. 1.3 million people filed for unemployment benefits for the first time last week. Almost 17.4 million people are currently claiming unemployment insurance, while another 14.3 million people were claiming Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, the program for self- employed or gig workers. In good news for the economy, the weekly unemployment filings decreased slightly from the previous week, when 1.31 million workers filed for unemployment for the first time. What is really important to analysts: the unemployment filing rate has steadily decreased from the high of 6.9 million filings during the week ending March 28, and the rate has slowed significantly in the past month. Coronavirus government operations update National perspective. As of Thursday morning, the number of confirmed cases in the U.S. is at least 3,581,000 with at least 135,000 deaths. States in the south and west continue to see sharp rises in new cases, prompting new closures and mask regulations. This week, a whole slate of large national retailers (including Walmart, Kroger, Kohl’s, Starbucks, and Best Buy, among others) implemented requirements for their customers to wear a mask while shopping as cases continue to rise sharply in many parts of the country. A little scientific perspective – while more people may test positive for Covid-19, some scientists believe the virus will eventually become less dangerous to humans, even though there is no evidence it is happening yet: “The natural history of coronaviruses is that they do slowly become less virulent over time.
