Hi there, it's Mark Takano.

I'm reaching out to ask you to split $ [[link removed]] between Dr. Raul Ruiz and Will Rollins’ campaign before his end-of-quarter deadline hits. But before I do, I want to share more about my coming out experience and how it relates to Will’s campaign.

In 1994, my Republican opponent outed me as gay by sending out bigoted, homophobic campaign mailers in our race.

This was before I'd even come out publicly.

Coming out is extremely personal, so you can imagine my horror finding out I had been outed so publicly -- and in such a hateful way.

And you might be familiar with the person who did it… any guesses?

[link removed] [[link removed]]That’s right — it was Ken Calvert, the same Republican Will Rollins is now running to unseat.

Calvert blamed “the times” and claims he has since changed, but his attacks on the LGBTQ+ community haven’t. He voted against the Matthew Shepard hate crimes bill. He voted against gay adoption and voted to keep us out of the military.

I can’t think of a stronger rebuke of Calvert's long-standing, anti-LGBTQ+ agenda than replacing him with an openly gay prosecutor who will uphold the law and fight for equal rights.

Will can win, but he’ll need your support to do it:

Will’s race happens to be one of the most consequential elections in the country in the Democrats’ effort to retake the House. If you can, please split $ or more between Dr. Raul Ruiz and Will’s campaign before his end-of-quarter deadline. [[link removed]]

The son of hardworking farmworkers, Dr. Ruiz grew up in Coachella, CA and learned at an early age that the key to attaining the American Dream is hard work and a great education. In the summer of 1990, Raul walked in the desert heat from business to business in the Coachella Valley asking them to invest in their community by contributing to his education. With each investment for college, he made a promise to come back home and serve his community as a physician. In 2012, he decided to take his service to the community to the next level by running for Congress. Dr. Ruiz needs our help to continue fighting for us in Congress and to flip the House blue this November.
