A former Bernie Sanders adviser indicted for embezzling money from a labor union is now leading the progressive push to unseat Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D., Ariz.).
Chuck Rocha, the founder of Nuestro PAC, launched the “Run Ruben Run” campaign to encourage Rep. Ruben Gallego (D., Ariz.) to primary Sinema in 2024. Rocha’s criminal past surfaced during the 2016 presidential campaign after he joined the Sanders campaign. The longtime labor activist was sentenced to 24 months probation and fined $2,000 after he was convicted of embezzling funds from the United Steelworkers International Union, where he served as political director. Rocha admitted to misusing a union credit card in 2008 and 2009 to pay for golf outings and Stanley Cup tickets.
Nuestro PAC is one of several groups working to unseat Sinema because of her opposition to President Joe Biden’s massive $3.5 trillion “Build Back Better” initiative. Way to Win, a group funded by liberal donor George Soros, formed the Primary Sinema PAC, though it has not endorsed a specific candidate. The primary efforts highlight growing disunity within the Democratic Party over the Biden spending plan.
While Gallego has been cagey when asked whether he will challenge Sinema, the progressive favorite has links to many of the groups that oppose the moderate Democrat.
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus Bold PAC, which Gallego chairs, gave $50,000 in April to Nuestro PAC and $13,000 in May to Rocha’s consulting firm, Solidarity Strategies. Bold PAC also contributed $25,000 in August and September to Living United for Change in Arizona, a Soros-funded activist group whose members this month confronted Sinema in a bathroom at Arizona State University.
Gallego and Bold PAC, which has four of Sinema’s Senate colleagues as board members, have not publicly weighed in on Living United activists’ filming Sinema as she exited a bathroom stall. While there is no indication that Bold PAC or Gallego coordinated with Living United to accost Sinema, the group’s viral video of the incident has energized progressives who say it shows that Sinema ignores her constituents.
Gallego’s campaign has tapped Rocha’s firm and Living United for Change in Arizona for consulting work in the […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
