The Denver Post looked into the connections to the Fort Collins-headquartered aerospace and industrial manufacturer.

Eric Swalwell is a master at messaging. At positively messaging Democratic accomplishments, at negatively messaging Republican failures and so much more. In this video reminds us of so many important things we must do to win the battle of ideas--don't let them silence you, aggressively remind people Trump is a felon, use repetition so people remember, use props to help people understand, make it spicey (Gaetz' alleged "sex trafficking) and make horrible people (Trump, Gaetz, Jordan) the face of the GOP, don't let Republicans ever make a charge without pointing out their hypocrisy (Jim Jordan wanting to subpoena people when he refused his Jan 6th subpoena). Swalwell also does it with confidence, aggressiveness, ie strength.
