John,

My grandparents were Republicans. They met in the military during World War II, served their country proudly, then opened a business selling parts for U.S. fighter jets. 

My grandparents, William and Margaret. 

Their political heroes were Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan. They taught me that the GOP stood for smaller government, personal responsibility, law and order, and standing up to Russia. 

The reason I’m a Democrat today is that the Republican Party my grandparents once believed in no longer stands for any of those things – just extremism and the politics of division which have kept Ken Calvert in office for 32 years.

My career has been about public service. First working for a Republican governor, then in counterterrorism at the Department of Justice, and a prosecutor protecting Riverside County.

Alongside Gov. Schwarzenegger.

I’m a lot of what the Republican Party used to be, but isn’t anymore. I care about your freedom and your security, just like you. 

So John, can you pitch in $3 today to send me to Washington? I promise to fight for your freedoms, our country, and our democracy every day.
