Rep. Derek Tran in CA-45
---------------------------------------------------------------
Hi John,
In 2024, Democrat Derek Tran flipped CA-45 by just 653 votes. That’s just a 0.2% margin in what shaped up to be one of the most competitive and expensive House races in the country.
There’s no question that it’ll be a close race again next year—but we know what works, and we know how to win. Last time around, Swing Left supporters showed up early and often to help flip this district:
[Impact Spotlight. In CA-45, we: Raised $335,038, knocked 6,650 doors, made 6,400 calls, and wrote 65,599 letters.]([link removed])
All of that work helped send the first Vietnamese American representative to Congress from this district—which has one of the largest Vietnamese populations in the country—and gave Democrats critical momentum to fight back against MAGA extremism.
Here’s what Rep. Tran had to say about it:
“I would not be elected to Congress without the support of Swing Left.”
Now, we need to protect the progress we’ve made—in CA-45 and in close districts just like it all over the country.
That’s why we’re asking you to [make a donation to the 3 To Win Fund so we can win in swing districts and flip the House in 2026.]([link removed])

By donating to the 3 To Win Fund, you’re helping to support the eventual Democratic nominees in close districts all over the country, including CA-45.
With just 3 seats needed to flip the House, each of the districts on our target list could decide who holds the Speaker’s gavel after the midterms. And we’re counting on your support to win in all of them.
Thanks for being part of this work,
— The Swing Left Team
