John,
I recently spoke on a podcast about the principle guiding this campaign: “How you do anything is how you do everything.”
It’s not just a catchy phrase; it’s a truth we need in our leaders.
Would it be easier for me as a candidate in a blue district to toe the Democratic Party line on the lack of an arms embargo and the continuing atrocities happening in Gaza?
Absolutely.
But the reality of what I’m seeing—an extremist right-wing government in Israel with clear genocidal intent against Gaza and beyond—makes it impossible for me to look the other way.
We can mourn for those lost in the brutal attack last October 7th and still call out the injustices unfolding against Palestinian and Lebanese civilians today.
Anti-Semitism, both here and abroad, is a real and constant threat that must always be condemned.
But separating that from the geopolitical actions of a right-wing extremist government dragging us further into global conflict shouldn’t be controversial.
These measured statements shouldn’t be met with disgust and disdain—or calls that we are hurting a presidential election for having basic human empathy.
This is not just a political issue; it’s about humanity.
If our leaders compromise on issues as grave as this, what does that say about their ability to advocate for us on other issues?
How can we trust them to fight corporate developers who are pricing us out of our homes or insurance companies that deny healthcare for profit when they can’t even stand up against mass death?
This is why I am asking for your support today.

True leadership requires the backbone to make tough, often unpopular decisions—decisions that aren’t convenient but are fundamentally right.
It means standing firm against the influence of real estate tycoons and insurance lobbyists when they undermine the well-being of our communities.
It’s about having the moral integrity to challenge these powers, even if it means losing their support.
Unfortunately, too many corporate Democrats would rather hedge and play it safe, prioritizing their re-election campaigns over the actual needs of the people they claim to serve.
We deserve better than that.
We deserve representatives who won’t sell out, who have the moral strength to take on the fight for the well-being of our communities without hesitation.
That’s the kind of leadership I’m committed to bringing to Washington, and I’m asking for your support to build that future together.
It’s not about convenience or avoiding controversy; it’s about basic decency and integrity.
How you do anything is how you do everything.
We need representatives who put humanity first, who will stand firm even when it’s difficult, and who won’t bend under pressure from corporate donors in the military-industrial complex or party lines.
That’s why I unapologetically support an arms embargo on Israel and why I connect this fight to broader issues—because it’s about resisting powerful interests that harm communities here and abroad.
We deserve leaders who will stand up and speak out when it counts, not just when it’s convenient.
With your support, we can continue to build a movement that’s transparent, accountable, and true to its values.
We deserve leadership that doesn’t compromise when lives are on the line—whether it’s here at home or halfway across the world.
If you’re ready for authentic, consistent leadership, contribute today.
Let’s fight for a future that’s built on courage, integrity, and a commitment to truth.
It’s time for us,
David Kim |
