Fight for the Democratic Leadership in the House

This is my first post on Daily Kos so pardon any mistakes in the format.

I just received this email from Daily Kos. There's no discussion on why Rep. Tim Ryan is the wrong choice for leadership of the Democrats in the House. I can't find any discussion on the Daily Kos website about this challenge. If it’s there I missed it. I don't mind Daily Kos lobbying me but please tell me why you think Nancy Palosi is the better choice and why Tim Ryan isn't so I can call my representative with some knowledge. Tell me that it’s OK that Palosi is a lightning rod for Republican voters. She wins her district with overwhelming margin and doesn't have to appeal to working class people in the Midwest. Convince me Palosi is the right person don’t just tell me to call my representative.

Richard, Democrats need progressive fighters—that's why we need Nancy Pelosi to lead Democrats in the House.

Pelosi is being challenged by Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan for the leadership of House Democrats, and your Democratic representative will be choosing between the two tomorrow.

Pelosi is a powerful advocate for working families. She led the Democratic opposition to George W. Bush, captured the House majority in 2006, and ushered Obamacare to the president's desk. She is exactly the right person to lead opposition against Trump and to defend the advances made during the Obama administration.

Call your Democratic representative and tell them to support Nancy Pelosi: Call Representative Jared Huffman at (202) 225-5161.

Sample script:
Hi, I'm (say your name) from (say from where you're calling). I'm calling today to urge Jared Huffman to support Nancy Pelosi for House Democratic leader. Thank you.

Keep fighting, Michael Langenmayr, Daily Kos
