John, I’m often asked why
California’s Senate election matters. If we’re so likely to elect a
Democrat, why should people care?
While Democrats often end up taking the same votes, there’s so much more
to our job than just voting yes or no.
Much of the important work we do here in Washington is what people don’t
always see. Realistically, we can’t all be a champion or expert on every
single issue. So each elected official decides where to most focus their
time, energy, and capital. Here’s where I plan to focus mine in the U.S.
Senate:
1. Since being elected in 2018, I’ve been laser-focused on the
environment, and my work holding Big Oil accountable differentiates me
from many of my colleagues. I’ve always been willing to push for
aggressive climate change legislation, reject money from the fossil
fuel industry, and treat climate change as the existential threat it
is. That includes making sure Democrats are correctly messaging around
climate—and not letting Republicans convince voters that Democrats are
ruining lives with electric stoves.
2. Lowering the cost of housing. We have to stop running our housing
policy to benefit Wall Street. The federal government needs to take a
far more active role in creating affordable housing.
3. Clean up corruption and shake up the status quo. Special interest
groups and corporations have had an outsized influence in Washington
for far too long. Too many Members of Congress and Supreme Court
Justices are beholden to donors or their own stock portfolios. If we
want to enact gun violence protection, restore the right to an
abortion, or lower drug costs, we have to get to the root of the
problem here in Washington.
John, it’s not
enough just to have a [D] next to your name. We need to elect Democrats
who are willing to speak truth to power and tackle our country’s biggest
issues.
I’m the only candidate in this race who has never taken corporate PAC
money, so if we’re going to win this race, I need your help. [ [link removed] ]Can you
