Like the people who are terrible actually raise the most money.\\u201d Still, Democratic Rep. Mondaire Jones, who represents New York\\u2019s 17th District, says that while he faces an uphill battle against the Republicans and despite the disappointments of recent events, including the repeal of Roe v.
