PRIORITIES RECENT NEWS ENDORSEMENTS VOLUNTEER Facebook X-twitter DONATE MEDIA Last Updated: May 14th, 2026 Democratic primary voters over 50 need to see video content on YouTube and Meta that tells them that Ryan Crosswell is a former federal prosecutor who had the courage to take on Donald Trump, and he’ll do it again in Congress. Ryan Crosswell spent over ten years as a federal prosecutor and never planned to run for office. But when Trump tried to force Ryan to drop a corruption case against one of his cronies, as part of his plan to use the Department of Justice to help his friends and target his enemies, Ryan refused, resigned in protest, and testified in Congress to expose how Trump was weaponizing the DOJ. “And every citizen who values democracy must have a line in the sand that cannot be crossed” – Ryan Crosswell, Congressional Testimony (4/7/25) “Read federal prosecutor Ryan Crosswell’s resignation letter, in which he wrote ‘I can no longer serve the Department that I love.’” – The Washington Post (3/6/25) “Crosswell calling for prosecutors and frankly everyday Americans to take a stand for what they believe is right” – CNN (4/7/25) More info can be found here.
