[ [link removed] ]Adam Schiff for Senate




Hi John,

I was taking a trip down memory lane and I stumbled across this picture.
I’ll never forget this night, when I flipped a red seat blue and won my
first congressional election.

This was one of the most incredible nights of my life. But it wasn’t an
easy race. Far from it.

John, all eyes
were on our district as I took on a nationally recognized Republican
incumbent and Clinton impeachment manager in the most expensive
congressional race ever at the time — it was a true slugfest until the
very end. (And a bit afterwards, too).

2000

But at this moment, it was bliss. We won. And we were heading to
Washington. (The downside? So were George W. Bush and a Republican House.)

Here’s the thing: My congressional race wasn’t the first time I ran for
office — and at this point, I had lost a few times running for State
Assembly, and won once for State Senate. After those losses, I used to
quote Winston Churchill a lot. When he was unceremoniously thrown out of
office near the end of World War II, he remarked how people kept telling
him that his loss was a blessing in disguise. “At the moment,” he replied,
“it seems a blessing very effectively disguised!”

During my State Senate term, I was urged to run for Congress, even though
no Democrat had won in our district since Franklin Roosevelt. Despite the
challenge, I embraced the opportunity to be part of a historic Democratic
takeover of the House.

My opponent, a well-known Republican named Jim Rogan, made our race a
national spectacle due to his role as an impeachment manager in Bill
Clinton's trial.

While my opponent opted for aggressive national tactics, bombarding the
media with attack ads and mailers, I focused on door-to-door campaigning,
and addressing pocketbook issues like healthcare costs, public safety, and
jobs.

In the end, we took on the most well-funded campaign in the country and we
beat it.

Skip to the present, where I’m running for the Senate in our country’s
most populous state. I never could have imagined this. Not in a million
years.

But through it all, my values and my unwavering commitment to uphold
American democracy and tirelessly advocate for the issues affecting my
community have never changed.

There is lots of work that needs to be done, and I'm prepared to play my
role in leaving Californians in a better state than before and fixing our
damaged democracy. But just like back then, I can't achieve this alone; I
need support.
