Hi everyone,

I want you to hear it directly from me first: I’m running for U.S. Congress to represent the people in California’s 27th district.

I don’t live like most members of Congress. I know what it’s like to be on the wrong end of a system that’s rigged against regular people. When I was 16, I was wrongfully convicted and sent to prison for a crime I didn’t commit. After spending 20 years in prison fighting for what was right, justice finally prevailed and I was exonerated.

I don’t look like most members of Congress. I’m the proud son of Mexican immigrants. I remember standing in my classroom as a boy, putting my hand over my heart, and saying the words liberty and justice for all.

Although the system failed me, I believe that good systems can exist because good people exist.

I know what it’s like to feel forgotten. That’s why I’ll make people the priority.

And that’s why I’m asking you to be a Founding Donor today. Our campaign is run 100% by small dollar donors like you. I’m not taking a dime from corporate PACs. Reporting strong fundraising early on will show the strength of our movement. And I want you on our team.

Contributing to this campaign will put me one step closer to being a voice for folks who feel like they don’t have one. Can we count on you to chip in $5 or $25 today?

Together,

Franky Carrillo
