Community over PACs

John, I'm emailing to respectfully ask if you can chip in a donation of $3 to my grassroots campaign to succeed Adam Schiff in CA-30. Let me explain why: We are less than 50 days away from one of this cycle’s most competitive congressional primary races. And it's no secret that …

Safeguarding against a hostile DC

John, Less than a week from the start of the Republican presidential primaries, and a chilling message has been sweeping around our capitol:   “California’s waivers are now a perennial punching bag for congressional Republicans, who have taken aim at the state’s electric vehicle m…

I can’t thank you enough, John

John, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your support in making our final fundraising deadline of 2023 a success. I know we ask a lot, but since our campaign is rejecting corporate PAC contributions, individual contributions are powering this movement. I’m humbled by every…

John, I know you’ve heard from me and my team quite a bit over the past couple of days. But midnight tonight marks a critical fundraising deadline – our final FEC deadline of 2023. As it stands, we're still coming up short, so I had to reach out one last time. We only have $3,122 lef…

The cruel future the GOP wants for women

John, I proudly represent our region in the Assembly, and I will always put CA-30 first in Congress. But none of us should turn a blind eye to what’s happening in states like Ohio and Texas.   These states have used the attack on Roe to create draconian policies, and the war on w…
