We miss your voice and whiteboard in Congress! You would have been a great Senator and you will be a great Governor!

I’ve been so discouraged by the MAGA people in my East county San Diego area - many are protesting, but many also blame Biden (!) for the price hikes and they still think “ illegals” are the problem. It’s Idiocracy.

Great advice for parents - so important to show that being engaged in the issues of your community is important and can be fun and satisfying. So glad you are back in the fray of politics! You have my vote.

As a former federal Union president for more than years, raising my son alone and teaching him why I went on week-long Union meeting trips for my union. He learned about grassroots organizing all across the U.S. and is a more mature young adult now. The dividends are showing his maturity both in the workplace and in everyday life. Katie… teaching your kids about labor law before they work their first job will give them the insight of whether or not their employer is doing right or wrong. Take care. Timothy F.

Dear Donald Trump,

You are an ass.

You are a real ass.

You are the biggest ass in the world.

Love, B____.

Yay Katie, always loved your whiteboard lectures! I was born in California and didn't move to Florida until 1996. But I now have 26-year-old twins. In Florida I had to start early to teach them to be liberal thinkers. When Obama ran for president we were in the minority. When voting day came I had given them the story of how your vote counts and took them with me to the voting booth. My daughter was very unhappy because the principal would not let her have a pass for missed school day, even though she and I explained it was a lesson in government. When Obama came to Sarasota Florida, in Air force 1, I took my kids out of school and went to the baseball stadium where he spoke. (The second time I ruined her perfect attendance because, yet again, the principal would not count it as a valuable lesson.)

Hope you win CA! You are an amazing Mom!!

I’m so glad that you’re running for governor of our great State of California! You had my vote for the Senate and you have my vote for governor! We can’t let that crooked sheriff in office, he’ll back the orange felon so fast and all guard rails Newson put in place to protect our state from him would be gone!
