If you can, please consider donating to their GoFundMe. The money is going to union members this holiday so they can buy groceries and pay rent while they fight for a fair contract. If MiUSA means anything at all, it must mean good paying jobs for workers. www.gofundme.com/f/support-in...

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Happy Thanksgiving! No matter where we celebrate, it is worth counting our blessings and sharing what we can with others. I'm grateful to the team at 2nd Harvest for putting food on tables across #WA05. 2-harvest.org?form=donate&...

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Grateful to the Garfield County Democrats for welcoming me to their #Thanksgiving potluck. As the days grow colder and the nights get longer, breaking bread as a community and discussing solutions to shared concerns is a real gift. And the Pomeroy Golf Course is a hidden gem! #WA05

Thanks and congratulations to spokanehumanesociety.org on its sold-out 2025 Furr Ball! A night out for a good cause with guests from #GonzagaU #EWU was just what we needed.

From birth to old age, Washingtonians depend on Apple Health (Medicaid) for essential care. The GOP's budget bill does nothing but make it harder for families and seniors to get the care they need. From increasing health care costs to closing rural hospitals, this bill puts our communities at risk.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

“But democracy…requires accepting that some things are not subject to popular vote.”

The farm & food symposium organized by #TilthAlliance and the #SpokaneCD was a great opportunity to learn from farmers and researchers. Hearing from people who are doing well by doing good was so uplifting. #FoodIsMedicine #NoFarmsNoFood #EatLocalFirst

This week, Carmela challenged #DonkeyClub volunteers to meet her $2.5k match for 2nd Harvest, our region’s food bank for food banks! Anyone can give - help us reach $5,000 and ensure more neighbors have a full table for Thanksgiving: 2-harvest.org?form=donate&...

“Don’t give up the ship. You can refuse illegal orders. We have your back.” 🇺🇸Veterans offer support to those in active service.🇺🇸

Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round

A community distressed by announced staff cuts turned out for the East Adams County Hospital Town Hall in Ritzville this weekend. The hospital is one of 11 critical access hospitals in #WA05 - essential care providers and employers without which their communities would wither.

So grateful to @nickbrownnow.bsky.social for clawing back congressionally authorized federal 💰for WSU and UW agricultural and medical research right here in #EasternWA.

¡Gracías! To Nuestras Raíces for their fun fundraiser at #Spokane's Flat Stick Pub. Two members of Team Conroy for Congress won tickets to the Spokane Velocity playoff game, where the hometown team clinched a spot in the USL1 final! #WA05

Narrowing the range of information about the world by (1) slashing and demoralizing U.S. intelligence and diplomatic operatives and (2) alienating allies and partners — undermines national security. It’s not making America great, but it’s a great bonus to our competitors.

Today, the House will be voting on a bill to reopen the government after this 43 day shutdown. This is why I'm voting no: youtube.com/shorts/a7THA...

Happy #VeteransDay! Today and every day, we honor those who have served our nation with courage and sacrifice. I was proud to join the Kettle Falls American Legion Post 146 for their Veterans Day weekend fundraising dinner.

Bagley pretty much nails it.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Happy 250th Birthday, Devil Dogs! Working with U.S. Marines was a highlight of my career with the DOS, and I was grateful to know that visiting family and friends were always welcome. Those who serve abroad know how important it is to maintain ties to home. #USMC250 #USMC #WA05

Thanks to Rod & Kelly and London Harris for cohosting friends in support of #Conroy4Congress. Every day, Team Eastern Washington is growing and fired up for a Congressional Representative dedicated to serving us! #WA05

I commend Governor Ferguson's commitment to deliver SNAP benefits to the 880,000+ beneficiaries in Washington state in full. The President is weaponizing hunger and withholding funds that could put food on empty plates.

If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

This is a classic form of voter intimidation—making people feel like it’s not safe to go to the polls. It moments like this where we need to summon our courage & vote anyhow. Vote in the tradition of the people who marched in Selma to secure the right to vote.

Loon Lake's trunk or treat is a community treasure! Congratulations to Friends of the Loon Lake Library and New Beginnings Church for organizing this wonderful event! #LoonLake #TrunkOrTreat #Halloween

Eastern Washington - important state and local races are on the ballot, let's get out the vote! 🗳️ Return your ballot today to skip the last-minute rush. Find your nearest drop box: www.sos.wa.gov/elections/vo... #WA05 #GOTV

“institutions…can be twisted into tools of tyranny when unmoored from law, ethics, and democratic oversight.” Add “legislatures” to that list, if a majority party leader would rather shut it down than negotiate.

Stop shaming the poor

Latino communities around the country are under siege from a cruel, undisciplined, hateful occupation army. Men, women, children, regardless of immigration status or even citizenship are all fair game. Schools, churches, streets, courtrooms, and now even trick or treating. Despicable.

The President is refusing to spend a cent of emergency funds to keep SNAP benefits from running dry, but he did move heaven and earth to send $40 billion to bail out Argentina.

Starting Saturday, 40M Americans, and 50k+ Eastern Washingtonians could go hungry if the government shutdown continues. Already appropriated emergency #USDA funds exist to prevent this - but Congressman Michael Baumgartner refuses to call on the USDA to release funding as intended.

Folks across #WA05 are feeling the govt. shutdown: missed paychecks, skyrocketing healthcare premiums, growing uncertainty. While Rep. Baumgartner plays the blame game, Carmela is listening. Take this short survey to share what matters most to you: us17.list-manage.com/survey?u=dc0...

National security isn’t just guns.“In addition to CIA,…DIA’s connections abroad, NSA’s indispensable technology…and political reporting by Foreign Service Officers…this trusted amalgam of tradecraft mastery…often carried out in dangerous environments, make up the holy grail of crucial intelligence.”

Not me, but can repost this 🔥

I own a business in Representative Michael Baumgartner's district (WA-05). Just blatant lies in his email to constituents today. We need to elect @carmelaconroy509.bsky.social

#UNDay is a great time to honor the dignity of all people in all nations. Proud to have worked with people from the #USA, #NZ, #AFG, #UK, #France, #Germany, #Ukraine, and #Tanzania during my service in Bamyan, including during the 2004 presidential election.

Shout out to the Asotin County Dems and to volunteers MaryNell H. and Mary D. for standing up for our shared values and representing Conroy for Congress at the #Clarkston #NoKings rally! ❌ 👑

Wonderful to talk with friends at the Rockwood Retirement Community. Projected cuts to #Medicaid and resulting skyrocketing cost of health insurance premiums were top of mind for many. They want Congress to reverse the Big Bad Billionaire Bonus Act.

Eastern Washington showed up this weekend and said #NOKINGS! ❌ 👑 Proud to stand alongside so many in #Spokane fighting for our democracy.

With the government shutdown approaching its fourth week, #WA05 workers are going without pay. Rep. Baumgartner’s response? Wait it out. Our communities deserve better—Republicans must work with Democrats to protect affordable healthcare now. Read more here: www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

In a coordinated move, multiple federal agencies joined BlueSky yesterday and turned to trolling the opposition. Our Assessment on Democratic Decline warns of this autocratic practice: attacking the free press and narrowing the space in which factual reporting can safely operate without retaliation.

Cohosting thin air community radio KYRS coverage of the #Spokane #NoKings rally.

Conroy for Congress will be at the #NoKings rallies in both #Spokane and #Clarkston. In Clarkston, stop by the Asotin County Democrats table to talk to our volunteers, and meet Carmela and the team in Spokane! #WA05

Such a spirited discussion of access for all to healthcare, education, and nature at Grant & Angela's house party. Thanks to everyone who joined us, and for supporting our campaign for accountable representation for #WA05!
