Hi there -- I just wanted to make sure that you saw Nicole's email. I'm going to be honest: it's big news.

We asked County Chairwoman Steel last year if she'd sign on to denounce foreign intervention in US elections. She completely ignored our call. Now, her husband (who is also her co-worker at Shawn Steel Law Firm) is under heat for being at the center of a pay-to-play scandal to get support from Chinese Communist Party leaders for Donald Trump (more info in the forwarded email below!). 

We're calling on Michelle Steel one more time to denounce foreign intervention in our elections. Can you join us?

We're not making a big ask of Michelle Steel here. Even still -- she's refusing to take the smallest step to protect our country against foreign election interference. 

We need elected officials who will protect the sanctity of our democracy and who will stand up for what is right.

Can you donate now to help us re-elect Harley?

Thank you!

With your help, Congressman Rouda defeated Russia's favorite candidate, Dana Rohrabacher, in 2018. Now, a Wall Street Journal article has named Shawn Steel, of Shawn Steel Law Firm (where County Chairwoman Michelle Steel works and makes $325,000 on top of the $1,700,000 she's made off taxpayers during her time in office), as one of the key individuals involved in a pay-to-play scheme to connect Chinese Communist Party leaders with President Trump.

Perhaps Michelle Steel isn't involved in her husband's attempts to compromise our national security and elections. But then why did she not even respond when Harley called upon her last year to join a pledge denouncing foreign interference in U.S. elections -- what are she and her husband hiding?

It's time for Michelle Steel to denounce foreign interference in our elections once and for all. Will you join us in calling on her again to protect the sanctity of our free and fair elections?

County Chairwoman Steel has failed time and time again to condemn pay to play schemes and foreign election interference.

Will you join us in demanding accountability?

Thank you!

Harley Rouda serves California's 48th district in Congress. In 2018, Harley defeated the 15-term incumbent Dana Rohrabacher in the very first political campaign of Harley's life. During his time in Congress, he's embraced common sense and values to tackle climate change, address deteriorating infrastructure, confront homelessness, and protect Social Security and Medicare. In 2020, Harley will be facing one of the toughest re-election fights in the entire country, so he's depending on the support of grassroots individuals. If you want to support Harley's re-election, you can donate here. If you'd like to no longer receive emails from his campaign, you can unsubscribe.
