Happy Pride Month, John. I’m Will Rollins, a former federal prosecutor and gay Democrat running to flip California’s 41st Congressional District from red to blue. 

In a moment, I’m going to ask you to split a $20 contribution between Blue Amp Action and our campaign to help us win this race and expand LGBTQ+ representation in Congress, but first I’ll explain why this particular seat is so important.

California’s 41st District is home to Palm Springs, and last fall, we made national headlines for going head-to-head in this district against a staunch opponent of LGTBQ+ rights, Ken Calvert. 

When it comes to LGBTQ issues, Calvert’s as bad as it gets:

  • He opposed gay marriage. 
  • He voted against allowing gay adoptions. 
  • He voted down the Equality Act. 
  • He voted to allow employers to fire employees for being LGBTQ+. 
  • He voted against the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”

And if all of that isn’t bad enough, his first electoral victory came in 1994 after he sent out bright pink mailers outing his then political opponent and accused him of harboring a “secret” homosexual agenda. 

Now John, the good news is Ken Calvert’s political career is more vulnerable than ever before.

In 2022, I ran against him as a first-time candidate with 0% name ID, and we handed him the closest midterm election he’s ever faced (just 4 points!). National experts say that our campaign was the #3 over-performing Democratic challenger campaign in the nation.

Now, in 2024, national Democrats are already calling our district one of 33 initial “offensive targets” to take back the House Majority.

So let’s make a strong statement this Pride Month, John. Let’s send a staunch anti-LGBTQ+ Republican packing, flip this swing seat, and take back the House. 

Split a contribution $20 or more between Blue Amp Action and our campaign if you’re with me »

Thank you for your support,

Will Rollins

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
