Friend,

This week, Vice President JD Vance parachuted into Los Angeles for a photo op and a high-dollar fundraiser. In the short time he was here, he managed to insult our city, spread blatant lies, and misname California’s own U.S. Senator Alex Padilla — calling him José.

I have one question for Vice President Vance: how dare you?

JD Vance claimed to speak for us, but what he said had nothing to do with what’s really happening in our neighborhoods. It was all fiction. It was disrespectful. And it was designed to divide.

So let me be clear: Los Angeles stands united.

The same way we came together after the devastating fires earlier this year, we are standing together now. As families, as business owners, as community leaders, and as elected officials, we will not be divided.

And we will not be distracted by someone who flies in, passes judgment, spreads misinformation, and flies right back out.

Together, we’re building a better Los Angeles, and we won’t let Vance’s lies derail the progress we’re making. But I need your help to keep fighting back. Will you chip in today to help me push back on these attacks and keep delivering for the people of LA? [[link removed]]

Thank you for standing with me,
