I’m running for Congress in CA-23 with no party bosses and no war chest — just me, a phone, and the belief our district deserves better. Goal: $2,500 in 48 hours. That’s 250 people chipping in $10: secure.actblue.com/donate/karen... Let's do this. #CA23 #Election2026

Our Congressman in #CA23 promised to lower prices, but families are paying more for everything from groceries to gasoline. People are feeling the squeeze every day. Vote for change. Get involved in our campaign to defeat a MAGA Republican. #CostOfLiving #Economy #Inflation
I grew up in a family that believed in the Second Amendment. I also believe in the First. You don’t have to choose. You have the right to both — at the same time. Not one. Not the other. Both. #minneapolis #secondamendment #CA23 #FirstAmendment
CA-23 doesn’t need another politician protected from the problems regular people face. It needs a leader who’s actually lived them. I know what it means to work, serve, and fight for people who earn every dollar. That’s the kind of voice Congress is missing. #CA23 #Election2026
If you work full-time, you should be able to afford a roof over your head, food on the table, and healthcare when you need it. I'm a veteran running for Congress in CA-23 to make that a reality. Chip in to defeat a MAGA Republican: secure.actblue.com/donate/karen... #CA23
They called Alex Pretti a “terrorist.” Fire every member of Congress who stays silent. #AlexPretti #Veterans #Accountability #minneapolis #ca23
Congress keeps failing regular people — higher costs, more chaos, zero accountability. That’s why I'm running. Both parties already had their shot. They blew it. This campaign is powered by regular people, not party bosses. It’s our turn. #independent #EndTheDuopoly #CA23 #election2026
Groceries cost more. Gas costs more. Housing costs more. Healthcare costs more. Everything keeps getting more expensive except your paycheck. It's time for change. I'm a Navy veteran, doctor, and small business owner, and I want to earn your vote in the #CA23 primary.
People in Washington want us arguing with each other over everything — left vs. right, red vs. blue — because as long as we’re fighting each other, no one is holding them accountable. But the truth is, most of us want the same basic things.
People in #CA23 are working harder than ever and still falling behind while costs keep rising. People want a job that pays the bills, healthcare they can afford, and a real shot at the American Dream. I spent 22 years serving this country. I'd be honored to earn your vote.
People are fed up with politics as usual. Same candidates. Same system. Same results. But we can come in second — and force this race wide open. We’re closer than people think. If you want to be part of this chip in here → secure.actblue.com/donate/karen... #CA23 #capolitics
I just had a powerful realization about women who "hate men" - sometimes it's not actually about the men themselves, but about the behavior or experiences they've had with them. Source #Feminism #Misandry #Stereotypes #Relationships #Dynamics
I agree 100%! Dem's have to expand the court soon as they get power back! This is the worst court in history in more ways than one! 🌊FREE resistance GIF's chips-gifs.com

I wish they knew where the farmer lives that feeds the Orange Pig With a Wig. I suppose that's against the rules of war though... (unless you are the Orange Pig With a Wig). Sigh. Apologies to real Pigs all over the world - it's extremely insulting to you all.

MV Realty was targeting homeowners in CO with harmful practices that made owning a home expensive and complicated. I fought this in court and we won: saving approximately $9 million for CO homeowners. I will fight to make homeownership in Colorado affordable for all.
Many immigrants in Canada silently deal with loneliness, stress, and emotional burnout after work. Back home, people spend time with friends and family—but abroad, routines can become isolating. Taking care of your mental health and social life is just as important as earning money ❤️ #CanadaLife

A Massachusetts McDonald’s manager is accused of licking fries, spitting in the container, and sending the order out through the drive-thru. Police say the customer was her ex-girlfriend, who reportedly ate the food before seeing the video online. That is not messy drama. That is food tampering.
