Brandon graduated in Economics from Washington College (Maryland) and earned an MS degree from the London School of Economics and Political Science. In 2008, he worked as an organizer for Obama's campaign. His experience taught him how good government can improve people's lives as it did with the passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010.

Rep. Raul Ruiz hosted a town hall at Rancho Mirage High School on Saturday. His special guests included House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Rep. Teresa Ledger Fernandez, NM CD3 (also Chair of the Democratic Women Caucus), and Rep. Nanette Baragan, the first Latina to represent California’s 44th District.
This was the first stop on their National Town Hall Tour. Leader Jeffries encouraged those in the audience to share their stories with House Democrats so they can share them with others.
He also shared these inspiring words from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr:
"Press on and keep pressing. If you can’t fly, run; if you can’t run, walk; if you can’t walk— CRAWL. At all times, PRESS ON and KEEP PRESSING."

MAGA's Project 2025 isn’t just a plan anymore – it’s here. Whether by dismantling government agencies, trampling reproductive rights, or attacking public education, the Trump administration is following the extremist playbook step-by-step.
The first step is educating ourselves on what they are doing, which is why Red Wine & Blue created the Reality of Project 2025 website – which not only explains how extremists are implementing the extremist plan, but what we can do to stop it.
Get started! Click here to check out the Reality of Project 2025 Tracker and help spread the word.
