Everyone is an "other" to someone else. What if we had a gov't working to help ALL rather than divide us into "others?" The MCDP fights for the American Dream for EVERYONE. Vote Dem in 2026.

The US imposed the Trump ordered tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada today. Guess who foots the bill...regular American citizens. Expect prices on food, beer and autos to climb by as much 25% in the coming weeks.

The 2025 Rep. Budget will sucker-punch the middle class here. It will raise local ACA premiums, cut aid for seniors and take food out of children's mouths. And, Vern Buchanan doesn't care - he voted for it.
