Hi there. Here’s a photo of my grandparents, Arnfred and Christine, on their wedding day in 1905. That was seven years before they picked out a flat piece of grassland just outside Big Sandy to build their homestead. That patch of loamy, alkaline clay-soil is the same one where I grew up; and where Sharla and I raised our kids and still farm the land. Things weren’t easy for Fred and Christine. They suffered devastating windstorms, bitter cold, shooting fire, poisonous snakes – pretty much everything but locusts. And in the late teens, the drought hit, wiping out the farm entirely. My grandparents were forced to leave. But they were determined to return to their homestead. They saved up enough to start all over again on the same little piece of land. They had a couple hundred acres to their name, a newly-built barn, a windmill, their healthy son and daughters (including newborn Helen, my mom), strong muscles, and the powerful work ethic that built rural America. I first ran for office to make sure our government was serving hardworking Americans like my grandparents a hundred years ago. Folks like our teachers, farmers, and construction workers deserve a government that works for them. But too many Washington politicians are deep in the pockets of right-wing special interests. They promise one thing when the camera is rolling, then make secret backroom deals with their wealthy megadonors. That’s not how I operate, and it’s why we’re running this campaign differently. I’m counting on grassroots folks like you chipping in what you can, when you can, to build a team strong enough to take on the outside groups and Republican attacks. Can I count on you to split a contribution today between my campaign and Jacky Rosen's? Your donation (no matter the size) *sows the seeds* of our movement, ensuring we grow and build the resources we need to win.

The results of this November's elections in Virginia will determine the path our country takes for years to come. That’s why Hillary Clinton is calling on grassroots Democrats, including you, to make a difference: Rush $7 to elect state Dems » We can’t let Virginia become the next Republican-controlled state to go down this path. Will you rush $7 right now to stand with Hillary Clinton and build Democratic power in Virginia and beyond? For the past two years, our Democratic majority in the state Senate has acted as a barrier against Virginia Republicans' dangerous agenda. But we risk losing this essential check on GOP power if Democrats are defeated this November. Virginia Republicans have already rolled back voting rights, and their proposed budget favors tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. If the GOP flips the state Senate and keeps control of the House, abortion rights could be first up on the chopping block. Their far-right governor has already endorsed plans to threaten abortion doctors with jail time – it's horrible. The stakes are high, and we cannot afford to lose. This team has stepped up time and time again to help drive our mission forward, so we know you'll come through this year, too. Chip in $7 to heed Hillary Clinton's call to action and support Democrats in critical states like Virginia.

State Republican legislators and their allies flooded Rep. Justin Jones’ opponent with HUGE donations (up to $1,000+) ahead of this month’s special election primary. This is their latest attempt to tear down their opposition. It’s despicable, and we must hold them to account. Can you rush an urgent donation of $7 to counter Republican efforts to defeat Democrats like Rep. Jones and help elect Democrats in states like Tennessee?

Chip in $7 now » Chip in $25 now » Chip in $50 now » Chip in $100 now » Chip in another amount » Earlier this month, you heard from two members of the Tennessee Three, Reps. Johnson and Pearson, about how the Tennessee GOP has used their supermajority in the legislature to enact their extreme agenda and work to ban abortion, protect the gun lobby, restrict voting rights, and so much more. They know firsthand that it takes people power to fight back against Republican attacks on our democracy, and they called on you to fight the Republican agenda head-on by re-electing state Democrats like Reps. Jones and Pearson. In a few short weeks, Democrats can get it done. We can deal a huge blow to the GOP by officially re-electing Reps. Jones and Pearson of the Tennessee Three to the state House. It’s crucial we show the Republican Party that they can’t simply expel their colleagues for speaking out against their hate-fueled platform. Special elections like these are key to defending Democratic power and chipping away at Republican strongholds, and we need all our grassroots supporters on our side. Will you chip in $7 or more ahead of Tennessee’s vital special elections so we can defeat extreme Republicans and elect state Democrats nationwide? It’s races like these where grassroots donations can make the most impact – re-electing Reps. Jones and Pearson will be a monumental step in our fight to build a better America. With these wins, we can keep two Democratic fighters standing up to Republicans’ anti-democratic actions and pushing for progress in Tennessee. Together, we can face this fight directly and elect the Democratic leaders we need in states like Tennessee and beyond. Team DLCC DONATE »

Real Estate in the News

Real Estate Photographers Reveal the One Listing Photo That Can Make - or Break - a Sale "Where do all eyes go first when perusing a real estate listing? The photos, of course. Home sellers should never underestimate the importance of investing in a professional real estate photographer to get the very best pictures possible of their place. Because no matter how good an eye you have, homeowners tend to be blind to how their own home comes across on camera—and, as a result, might have listing photos that don’t show their home in the best light."

Lifestyle Tips and Tricks

Should You Buy a New Construction Home? "As you search for a new home, you might find yourself categorizing your options into new and old builds. While older homes might offer the kind of layout, price point, and durability you’re looking for, they also come with their own problems. A new build, on the other hand, offers a buyer a clean slate." Courtesy of Better Homes & Gardens

11 Home Organizing Products from Amazon that Professional Organizers Swear By Having plenty of options is a good thing, but when it comes to shopping for organization products on Amazon, it can feel like overload.
