“I was wrong.”

Frank Luntz, 2019

Dear John,

In 2001, a Republican pollster named Frank Luntz wrote a memo advising GOP candidates and politicians to “challenge the science” of climate change because their party had “lost the environmental communications battle.” What followed is what we experience today–the impact of 20 years of Republican denialism of climate change, Republican rollbacks and defunding of needed environmental programs, and GOP voters across the country believing a political strategy memo instead of the hard facts of science.

Climate Change is real. Our greenhouse gas emissions are rapidly heating the planet, and we have the power to prevent it.

In 2019, Frank Luntz admitted he was wrong and has since been advocating for the government to step in and take measures to prevent the human impact of climate change. But, if Republicans continue to hold the House majority in 2024, this will not happen. 

On this last day of July, the hottest month on record that our world has experienced, I am asking you to support my campaign for re-election in 2024.

Because of rampant climate change denialism in the Republican Party, we have lost decades of critical time that should have been spent mitigating the devastating effects of climate change that we see today. We cannot waste another two years with Republicans in the majority propping up the fossil fuel industry with tax giveaways and gutting the EPA. 

By donating to my campaign, you will support my work of helping elect Democrats up and down the ballot so we can take back control of the House and ensure our government takes action to protect our future.

As we look at another week of 100°F+ heat across Southern California, I hope you can stay cool and remember that we can take action to stop the impacts of climate change.
