Ryan Crosswell quit Trump's DOJ. Now his resignation letter is part of his stump speech for Congress

This year, Ryan Crosswell quit the Department of Justice after charges tied to New York City Mayor Eric Adams were dropped, reading `Sincerely, Ryan Crosswell,` to Democratic activists at West End Taproom in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Crosswell says he objects to DOJ decisions and recalled thinking, `Do I want to leave public service or do I want to fight back?`, framing his campaign on rule of law and corruption.
Crosswell, 45, is a former active-duty U.S. Marine and current reservist who changed his registration from Republican to Democrat a year ago and is one of five candidates vying to unseat Rep. Ryan Mackenzie.
The seat is a prime Pennsylvania swing district Democrats are targeting for next year, as Rep. Ryan Mackenzie won by one percentage point last year and the House Democrats’ campaign arm stresses affordability.
Polls show roughly 4 in 10 adults prioritize economic concerns, and about one in 10 mention government issues, making it unclear if corruption messages will carry in primary or general elections, Crosswell said.
