Hey John,

In 1982, I trained to become a U.S. Forestry Service Seasonal Firefighter.

In late summer, I dug fire lines shoulder to shoulder with firefighters in
Southern California as we fought a blazing wildfire.

It taught me respect for fire — its unpredictable and deadly character —
and more importantly, it taught me respect for the men and women who fight
fire. It’s why I’m so honored to announce the endorsement of the
International Association of Firefighters in my Senate race!

$3 to our
campaign? I want to share with you why this endorsement matters to me. But
I also want to make sure we have the resources to win this U.S. Senate
election before our September 30 FEC deadline. Can you chip in
$3?

I had quite a few summer jobs to help pay for college and law school. And
even then, I graduated with a lot of student debt that I paid off over the
course of more than a decade. There were some years that my student loan
repayments were more than my rent in Los Angeles…and that’s saying a lot.

It’s why I’ve spent so much of my career focused on expanding Pell Grants
and making community college free. And it’s why I’ve pushed for President
Biden to cancel federal student loan debt.

But this summer job was also formative for me, and one reason that I’ve
spent so much of my time focused on wildfires in Congress.

After the Station Fire in 2009 in the Los Angeles Foothills (in the
northern part of my district) destroyed hundreds of structures and
resulted in the death of two firefighters, I led the charge in Congress to
investigate the cause of the fire, get resources to the Forest Service
that they desperately needed, make policy changes, and invest in wildfire
prevention before the next big one.

By the way — here’s the “Governator” with me inspecting the damage from
that fire, and talking to displaced residents (and yes, after finding the
burned remains of a dumbbell, Arnold could not resist a little showing
off):

My experience as a seasonal firefighter, and as a Congressman representing
residents who lost their homes, has helped guide me a lot in Congress.

It’s why I fought for millions of federal dollars to buy “night-flying”
helicopters to drop water on raging wildfires and helped change Forestry
Service policy which banned night flights for decades. It’s why I led the
charge to create and keep running a satellite program to detect wildfires
before they get out of control and give real-time notice to firefighters.
And it’s why I’ve fought for legislation and resources to combat climate
change — because wildfires are only going to get worse in the coming years
if we fail to act.

While this type of work might not generate headlines or be something the
24-hour news networks deem important, it keeps people safe and makes our
communities better. It’s the kind of work that is so critically important
to me personally, and why I am so proud to have the support of the
International Association of Fire Fighters union on this campaign.

[ [link removed] ]I want to continue this work for years to come, so I’m asking: Can you
chip in
$3 to
help me keep up this work and win this Senate election against more than a
dozen opponents in California’s all-parties jungle primary?

Thanks for all you do, and remember to always thank your local
firefighters.

— Adam
