John,

Last week, I had a chance to rejoin Cenk Uygur on The Young Turks to discuss our campaign to win a new voice for San Francisco in Congress. Our interview addressed the coronavirus pandemic, our campaign to replace Nancy Pelosi in the House, and the chasm between Pelosi's rhetoric and the reality of her voting record.

One of the issues we discussed was housing, and the dramatic differences between my interests as a renter, versus Pelosi's as a wealthy landlord. Long before the pandemic, Nancy Pelosi abandoned San Francisco's renters to the predatory, speculation-driven housing market, passing budget after budget eroding federal spending on affordable housing.

Can you contribute today to help us restore federal support for affordable housing, and work towards ensuring housing for all?

Cenk & I also discussed how very differently I'm prepared to enter Congress than Pelosi was 30 years ago.

I've defended—and successfully helped expand—civil rights and civil liberties for 20 years. I was among our nation's first advocates for marriage equality, long before the Supreme Court recognized the right of consenting adults to marry the partner of their choice. Pelosi took a decade to join me, after paving her path to Congress as a Democratic party fundraiser.

Do you want a partisan fundraiser representing you in Congress, or an advocate who took political risks and helped expand LGBTQ rights when other Democrats were unwilling?

Your contribution today will help win a new voice for San Francisco in Washington!

This is the first time in her 30 year career that Nancy Pelosi has faced another Democrat in a November election. Can you chip in $25 today to help level the playing field against Pelosi's army of corporate donors?
