John — One year ago today, House Republicans censured me in a blatantly partisan move.
They wanted to punish me for holding their leader, Donald Trump, accountable for his abuse of power and the rule of law.
In the year since the censure, the GOP has tried to attack me and silence me over and over again.
But I have not been deterred — thanks to your support, I’ve been able to rise above their attacks and build a movement to protect our democracy.
On this anniversary, please pitch in to my campaign and read the note I sent after the censure vote occurred last year.

Subject: BREAKING: Republicans pass censure resolution
To: [email protected]
John,
I just left the House floor, where Kevin McCarthy took up the resolution attacking me for holding Trump accountable.
After Trump threatened a primary challenge against any Republican who refused to vote for it, MAGA Republicans officially passed their resolution to censure me. Why? Because I upheld my oath of office and held Donald Trump accountable for his many abuses of power.
They will never silence me — not now and not ever — but I need your help to fight back. If you can, rush an urgent $3 contribution to our campaign right now to help us respond to this unprecedented political attack.
We face many pressing challenges as a country — affordable housing, access to health care, creating jobs, and so much more. Instead of addressing any of these challenges, Kevin McCarthy chose to take up this MAGA effort to distract from Donald Trump’s legal problems. They will never stop doing his bidding.
We've already known that the GOP is completely unhinged and beholden to Donald Trump.
With his call now to imprison me and primary any Republican who didn’t vote to censure me, Trump is telling the entire Republican Party that they must seek retribution against me politically and do whatever they can to prevent me from being elected to the Senate. This is not just a political stunt to rile up the MAGA base — it’s an attack on all accountability and constitutional oversight.
But make no mistake: If they thought this was going to deter me from holding Trump and his accomplices accountable or delivering real results for California and our nation, they thought wrong. I will not stop my fight to put truth and our democracy first — even if it means standing up to a twice-impeached ex-president and his lackeys.
John, with Kevin McCarthy and MAGA Republicans ramping up their attacks against me, I’m going to need you by my side more than ever. Will you add in a grassroots donation of $3 to help me stand up to the GOP’s attacks and win this Senate race?

MAGA Republicans may have voted to censure me, but I will always use my voice to hold them accountable. No matter what political retribution they throw at me next.
Let’s work together to push back against these attacks on our democracy.
Thank you,
Adam
