So much policy recently (and ahead, we hope!) has been focused on healthcare, and we need experts at the table helping steer these decisions--not as guests, but as full members of the House and Senate. 2/5

But docs and other frontliners are also now disproportionately affected by decreased bandwidth to do things like raise money for their campaigns b/c they're doubling down on taking care of their patients. 4/5
Please support them--specifically my buddy, @priteshgandhimd, who’s running for Congress amidst all this—while still being a #primarycare doc and a dad. We need him now on the frontlines. We need him next year in Washington. And he needs your donations to make that happen. 5/5
