Wow: charming, eloquent, energetic, on message, photogenic, killer smile - one of the best first time candidates I’ve ever seen.

Hi, I like Denise very much. She is a great first time passionate go getter. And, I think She will kick-Ass all the way through NE-02 and the rest of Nebraska!!

Simon, this not relating to Politics, but we are both winners! We both won 2 games each in the four series. I love baseball, and one day, I will tell you why baseball is so important to me.

Just when you think you’ve seen the very best, along comes Denise Powell. She’s unbelievably talented and compelling. Highly recommend watching the video. So grateful to Hopium for bringing these great candidates to our attention.

Great interview. So uplifting after another stupid Trump wreaking ball week. Can't wait to put him and is ilk in the rearview mirror so that people like Denise can help us all figure out how true leadership works for the people. Thank you.

What a fantastic candidate! I love the Omaha area--visited there for work some years back, and it's a strong progressive area with great culture and history. We are backing another winner!

What a delightful person and a wonderful candidate! Thanks, Simon, for introducing her to us. I'm inspired to give to her campaign directly and also to your effort to support several deserving candidates. The Democratic Party is fielding some great choices. What I appreciate is the diversity - they have different backgrounds and strengths - but a common desire to serve and move us into a better place as a nation. I believe that message resonates with people who want results - if nothing else they want someone to be on their side and try to make their lives - and those of their children - better. Go Denise!!

Congratulations! Hope you make it to Congress with a strong Democratic majority. The clean up and dethroning of King T will be hard work, but so important.

She's describing a process that should be in every state, red, blue and purple. You need a Dem for every contest. That Dem must speak to and for their people. The dynamic women in politics these days is exciting and positive.

A notable absence of hate speech had me smiling.

She’s clearly a winner.

Hello, my name is Sue and I suscribe in Australia. I know that this is not the best place to put this post but I am very concerned about the welfare of Anthony Davis after reading his substack from the 21st. I wonder and hope someone in this supportive and great community knows or reads his substack., and can reach out to him. I am not a paid supporter but find what he writes inspiring. Being on the other side of the world and having limited resources to subscribe makes it difficult as I cannot reach out myself. I read and subscribe to Hopium and I am inspired by you all as well as many others, as you all fight the evil that is taking place all around you right now. I and many Aussies stand with you all in solidarity. Cheers to all.

These candidates are just terrific! Each time I watch one of these interviews, I am filled with hope about the promise of America. They all really embody the best of our country, don't they? Ordinary people stepping up because they see a wrong and want to right it. Wow! Thank you to Denise Powell and all the other amazing candidates running across the country. They are the new face of the Democratic party and represent the best of us.
