Hi John — it's Barbara Boxer. We have a real opportunity to defeat Ken Calvert (one of the worst and most vulnerable MAGA Republicans in Congress) and flip CA-41 for Democrats.

Calvert barely eked out a victory in 2024. And since he just voted to pass Trump's Big Ugly Bill — taking away healthcare from thousands of our neighbors, slashing education funding and food nutrition for our kids, and eliminating jobs for veterans — he's more beatable than ever.

Now, I’m proud to support Katherine Aleman, a public school teacher, small business owner, working mom of four, and former City Council Member who knows how to win in tough districts — even in her city, where Republicans outnumbered Democrats by 30%.

I want to make sure you have a clear and complete picture of the MAGA Congressman that Katherine is running against. This 👇 is more of his record:

– Voted to defund the FBI.
– Defended Jan. 6 insurrectionists.
– Opposed an assault weapons ban.
– Voted against recognizing same-sex marriage.
– Voted against codifying Roe v. Wade and even against the Violence Against Women Act.

Katherine, on the other hand, is exactly the kind of bold, principled leader we need in Congress, and she can beat Calvert.

– Fought locally for affordable housing for veterans.
– Cut utility costs for working families.
– Expanded access to small business loans.
– Championed government transparency.
– Invested in public safety.

I know firsthand what it takes to win tough fights, and I'm telling you that early grassroots support from people like you, John, is KEY to taking on Calvert’s MAGA mega-donors. So, I'm asking: Will you split a donation between Democratic Values and Katherine to flip CA-41 and defeat Ken Calvert once-and-for-all? I'm hoping to help her raise $10,000 before the end of the night.

Let’s send a fighter to Washington who actually represents California’s values.

Thanks,

Barbara Boxer
Former U.S. Senator
