Hi John, I’m Mike Levin. I’m a husband, father, and the Democrat representing California’s 49th District.

At the end of this email, I’m going to humbly ask you to chip in $5, $35, or any amount toward my re-election campaign. But first I want to explain what sets this team apart.

I was elected to Congress as part of the 2018 “Blue Wave” year among five Southern California Democrats who flipped red seats. Today, I’m the last of that group remaining in the House.

I’m proud to run this campaign differently than most. We have a year-round voter outreach team making sure we’re reaching and listening to voters on the ground – not just when we need their votes.

And, I refuse to accept a single cent of corporate PAC money. Never have, never will. I’m beholden to the people who elect me, not special interest groups that have an outsize influence on our politics.

That’s not to say it’s easy. Ever since I flipped this seat, we’ve faced increasingly challenging re-election battles. Last year, our MAGA opponent spent over $3 million of his own money in an effort to unseat me – it was our closest race yet.

This time around, the national GOP is starting earlier than ever. We already have an extreme opponent and more are certainly to come, along with dark money and targeted attacks.

Political experts rank CA-49 as a must-win for control of the House majority. I’m fighting hard in Congress to hold the Trump-Musk administration accountable, but winning the majority next year is a surefire way to provide real oversight.

That’s why I have to ask: Will you chip in $5, $35, or even $100 today to keep me in Congress fighting for you? This is one of the most consequential races in 2026, and we need to build our warchest now for the battles ahead.
