Robert – I’m running for Congress in Arizona’s First Congressional District to replace far-right David Schweikert, one of the most vulnerable – and unfit – Republicans in America. [Will you take a moment to hear why I’m running for Congress?]( [Still image of Andrei's launch video with play button.]( I’m the grandson of four Holocaust survivors and the son of refugees from communism. I grew up in a small upstairs apartment, watching my parents work so hard and yet struggle to make ends meet. But because America welcomed my family and because of public schools and Pell Grants, I went from being a kid whose parents didn’t speak much English to working in the White House and building a business that brought greater financial fairness to millions while fighting the climate crisis. I’m proud to have served in uniform, taken on financial fraudsters and drug smugglers as an Arizona Assistant Attorney General, and started a sustainability-focused company that created good-paying jobs for thousands of people. But what I’m most proud of is being Ben and Belle’s dad. And because of them, I refuse to stand on the sidelines while their future is at stake. I’ve called this community home for twenty years. And I can’t just watch as my Congressman fights to ban abortion, cut Social Security, and fuel the climate crisis. Congressman David Schweikert tried to overturn the election on January 6th, calls climate change “folklore,” and is one of only five people in the history of the United States to be unanimously reprimanded by both parties for his ethics violations. I won’t sugarcoat coat it: This will not be an easy fight. This is one of only 9 Republican-held seats in the country that is rated a “toss-up.” Picking up 5 seats means Democrats retake the majority in Congress. And so Trump’s allies and dark money groups will spend millions to keep David Schweikert in office. That’s why I’m counting on you to help me fight back. We must win this race for our kids, for our planet, for our veterans, and for our democracy. And with your support, we’ll take on Congressman Schweikert and win.
