John,

With the stakes sky-high in 2026, we need to pull back the curtain on exactly how we measure up. Here’s what election analysts are saying about our race:

CA-40 Race Ratings:

DCCC: District In Play
1 of only 3 Republican-held districts in California.

Cook Political Report: Competitive – Lean Republican
Named “the most promising pick-up opportunity for Democrats” in California.

Sabato’s Crystal Ball: Lean Republican
One rating away from a toss-up!

While it’s still early, there’s no question about it: This race will make or break House control.

Trump only won here by 2 points. Our Republican opponent Young Kim is showing her true colors by voting in lockstep with him instead of listening to the needs of Orange County and Inland Empire families.

If we flip this seat, CA-40 will have a leader in Washington that they can depend on – and with the House majority, we will prevent Republicans from having full power for the entirety of Trump’s term.

This is our moment to build upon our early momentum and lay the foundation for Christina to get to Congress. Will you show your support with $3 before our end-of-month deadline hits?
