a nail-biter in Virginia

Hi John, I don’t know about you, but my anxiety keeps growing about the election in Virginia tomorrow. So I wanted to drop a quick note to our grassroots team to see if you’d be interested in helping Terry McAuliffe defeat his dangerous GOP opponent. This one is looking like a nai…

it would be scary if we didn’t reach this ghoul 👻

John, Tonight is Halloween, but it’s also the deadline for our $15,000 New Voter Outreach Fund! I know people are getting ready for trick-or-treating tonight, so before you head out with the kiddos or wherever you’re off to for the night, I hope you could chip in so we can reach th…

redistricting fears

Hey everyone, Yesterday Josh announced a $15,000 New Voter Outreach Fund so we can be prepared for whatever chaos redistricting brings. Already we’ve seen our district get even more competitive in the first drafts that were released. We have to be ready to speak to thousands of new v…

stay calm and remain patient

John, I know there is a lot of concern right now around redistricting since California is losing a Congressional seat. The first draft map was released this week and it was what we feared - it takes my district and makes it even redder. I’m advising folks to stay calm and remain pa…

“record fundraising” for Republicans

John, The House GOP group tasked with making Kevin McCarthy the next Speaker of the House just reported another record-breaking fundraising quarter. This isn’t great news for us here on Team Harder. Since Josh is the most vulnerable Democrat in California, we know all that dark mon…

My thoughts on Liz Cheney

John, I’ll be the first to say it - Liz Cheney and I don’t agree on much of anything. Except the need to protect our democracy from Donald Trump. That’s why when I saw she was recently attacked by Marjorie Taylor Greene, I knew I needed to speak out. This isn’t the first time Marjo…

preparing for the worst

Hey John, We just received some bad news about redistricting – Republicans are working to gerrymander Josh’s district and turn it red. Can you help us prepare for the worst and chip in $15 towards our campaign today? → Redrawing Josh’s district to lean even more Republican is a c…

Why this is personal for me

Hi John, My brother’s story is the reason I decided to run for public office. David was born 10 weeks premature, and underwent $2 million worth of surgeries to help him survive. There’s no way my parents could have afforded that without insurance. I know this issue isn’t unique t…

my vote on Steve Bannon

John, Yesterday I voted to hold Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress for violating a lawful subpoena by the Committee responsible for investigating January 6th. This is about protecting our democracy and holding people accountable for breaking the law. People need to know that if y…

This GOP group *didn’t* come after Josh

John, This isn’t a typical email we usually send, but stay with us. Normally we read a headline about GOP groups buying attack ads and we go “ugh, here they come again for Josh”. But we just saw something kind of interesting: one of the biggest attack groups that was running ads in…

POLL: Do you agree we need paid family and medical leave?

John, There is a lot of debate in Washington about what should be included in our next bill. One thing Josh believes 100% is that we need to pass paid family and medical leave so that moms and dads have the support they need to take care of their family. We want to know from you: …

they’re doubling down

Well, Washington Republicans are back at it. We just heard that not one but TWO Republican Super PACs have gone up on TV attacking Josh. Republicans are clearly seeing the same data we did: the first poll of our race shows us down seven points and a majority of voters in our distric…

three developments we can’t ignore

A landslide victory (except in our district)

homelessness is a crisis

Where the recall “did the best”
