I hope you are enjoying your summer, John.
While Republicans forced the House into recess for the month, I’m not using it as a vacation. I’m back at home in CA-45 connecting with my constituents and the issues that they care the most about.
I’m covering a lot of ground, but it’s impossible for me to reach everyone.
So today, I’m sending you our August issues survey: Will you take a minute to complete it?
Democrats across the country are refusing to stand down while the MAGA agenda continues to chip away at our democracy.
Texas House Democrats left the state to stop their Republican counterparts from passing new maps that would redraw the lines in the state – handing the GOP FIVE seats in Congress to secure their majority.
It’s inspiring, and it’s exactly what we should be doing right now: Fighting the good fight for the millions of Americans whose lives are at stake.
That’s no exaggeration, John. Republicans’ so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” will strip millions of their health care, food assistance, and make life harder for the working class – all to give their billionaire donors a tax break.
As the son of Vietnamese refugees, I know firsthand that this country
can do better – it’s what helped my family survive and thrive as small business owners, and inspired me to join the Army to give back.
We need to stay focused on what matters to move forward.
That’s why instead of asking for your donation, I’m asking for your participation in our latest survey to inform my next steps in Congress.
Thank you,
Derek
