John,

Like many of you, I’ve been watching in horror as Trump and Elon Musk do whatever they want, with zero oversight.

And just yesterday, we saw one of their most alarming plans yet – an executive order to completely dismantle the Department of Education.

Trump signs executive order to dismantle the Education Department

This isn't just politics as usual – it's an attack on our children's future. And it’s a textbook example of why we can’t let billionaires and wannabe dictators run the show.

As a former school board member, I've seen just how vital federal support is. Dismantling the Department means less funding for vulnerable students, no Pell Grants for college, weakened civil rights protections, and the end of national education standards.

John, our teachers are already overworked and underpaid. Our classrooms are already underfunded. Now, the GOP wants to make things even worse by gutting the very department designed to support and strengthen public education.

We need representatives who will fight for our students, our teachers, and our communities – not sell them out to special interests. That's why I'm running, and that's why your support is so important right now.

We have the power to take back the House and start holding this administration accountable – and that starts by flipping CA-40. Can I count on you to chip in $3 today?
