John —
I’m a very lucky man. I’ve been blessed with a loving family, a wonderful wife, amazing children, and good friends.
This week, I’m also thinking about my chosen family: my little brother, David.
We met over thirty years ago when we were paired together through Big Brothers of Greater Los Angeles – a mentorship program that empowers youth by pairing them with a “Big Brother.”
The first question in David’s application for a Big Brother was, “If you could have three things, what would you wish for?”
John, his wishes were for a Big Brother, a puppy, and a beautiful world. At the time of his application, he was little more than five years old. What five year old uses one of his precious wishes for a beautiful world?
I had to meet him. We were paired for a day as a “trial run.” We went to the beach in Venice, where I was living at the time. And after an afternoon battling the crashing waves and having a blast, we dubbed ourselves “The Survivors.” That was the start of one of the most important relationships of my life.
David was a groomsman at my wedding. I had the privilege of watching him graduate from Yale, USC film school, and go on to a career as an award-winning TV writer and producer. I even walked the picket line with him and his WGA family earlier this year, fighting for and winning a better contract.
We have learned so much from each other, and we’re family. I wouldn’t be here — and running for U.S. Senate — without David.
John, I’m running for Senate to create a beautiful world — the one that David wished for as a child. A world where our children and grandchildren have clean air to breathe and clean water to drink. A world where people do not struggle to keep a roof over their heads or to pay for their prescription drugs. A world where the truth and decency matter.

Thank you for reading this message.
