John —

Growing up, I was deeply inspired by my parents, and they taught me many
life lessons.

To respect others. To try to step into their shoes. To listen and learn
and pay attention in school. To make the world a better place.

Both of my parents shared these values with my brother, Dan, and me — but
they didn’t share a political affiliation.

My mom, Sherry, came from a long line of Republicans. Her father, my
grandfather, was a Republican County chairman who greeted President Dwight
Eisenhower and Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. when Ike was campaigning for
reelection in 1954.

On the left, my mom. On the right, my grandfather with President
Eisenhower.

Growing up, there were plenty of political debates in our household. My
brother adopted my mom’s Republicanism. I became a Democrat like my dad.
But the conversation was never acrimonious.

Back then, Democrats and Republicans could disagree without being
disagreeable. But that has changed, thanks in large part to Donald Trump,
who insults and attacks anyone who disagrees with him.

I’ve worked with plenty of Republican members of Congress to make
meaningful progress on important issues like mass transit, national
security, open space, nuclear nonproliferation, freedom of the press, and
more.

But these days, far too many of my colleagues in the GOP are siding with
Donald Trump and unwilling to work for the greater good of our country and
our democracy.

They stand strongly alongside Trump, even when he breaks the law, or
incites a violent attack against the Capitol — or, with the help of a
partisan Supreme Court, aspires to place himself above the law.

The list of his enablers includes my opponent, Steve Garvey, who just
announced he will be voting for Trump again.

John, this is
not my mother’s Republican Party. And we need to defeat Donald Trump
before he fundamentally changes the country for the worse — and forever.

[ [link removed] ]With your support, we will reject Trump this fall and send a resounding
message that his brand of politics is not what this country wants or
needs. Please, chip in to help me defeat Trump AND Trumpism this November.

Thank you for reading this longer note about my mother. I miss her dearly,
and I carry the lessons she and my grandfather taught me every day.
