Iraq

Moulton (D-MA-6) 11/10/2022: Twitter thread – “On Tuesday our @serve_america-endorsed Democrats defied expectations: 14 of our 17 incumbents are on track to win. In the toughest races in the country. So much for the Red Wave. Our mandate is clear: American voters rejected cynical loud-voiced extremists. It's time for a new generation of service-shaped leaders like @serve_america-endorsed @LaurenUnderwood, @SpanbergerVA07, @ChrisForPA, and @PatRyanUC. Look, I served 4 tours in Iraq. I'm not afraid of bipartisanship; in fact, I rely on it to get the job done. I passed the #988Lifeline by working with a Republican colleague under the Trump administration because we share a commitment to improving mental health. The time is now for leaders whose national service taught them how to come together to get things done. I will work with anyone who in good faith is committed to making our country better. #Midterms2022”
