I’m Congressman Dave Min — I represent the California district formerly
held by my good friend Katie Porter.

I’m writing you because something deeply wrong is happening in Texas — and
we need to have the backs of the brave Democrats in the Texas House who
literally left the state to protect voting rights and fair maps.

Here’s the reality: In Texas, President Trump, Governor Greg Abbott, and
his allies are pushing an extreme, corrupt mid-decade power grab. Their
redistricting ploy is not just bad policy — it’s illegal under the Voting
Rights Act. These maps are being drawn with the sole goal of getting as
many Republican seats as possible, without regard for communities of
interest, fairness, or even basic decency.

I believe in following the rules. But when the other side is cheating over
and over and over, Democrats need to stop bringing a butter knife to a
gunfight. We need to fight fire with fire — not unilaterally disarm.

Meanwhile, Texas Democrats are literally putting themselves on the line to
stop this unprecedented power grab. They’ve left the state to deny
Republicans the quorum they need to pass these maps. And they’re facing
huge personal costs — travel expenses, missed work, and the political
risks that come with standing up to entrenched power.

The Progressive Change Campaign Committee has been a strong voice pushing
Democrats to fight with backbone. That’s exactly what we’re seeing from
the Texas Democrats — and I’m proud to stand with them. We can’t let them
stand alone.

[ [link removed] ]Chip in $1 (or whatever you can) to each of them to help cover costs
for the Democrats who left Texas to defend fair maps — and to send a
message to Gov. Abbott, Gov. DeSantis, and every other extremist governor:
If you break the rules, Democrats will fight back.

What’s happening in Texas is part of a bigger picture. In Florida, Ohio,
and other states, Republican governors are rubber-stamping lopsided,
undemocratic voting maps that would lock in minority rule for a
generation. These maps aren’t about representing people — they’re about
silencing them.

If we don’t draw a line here, they will keep doing it — and keep rigging
the system against our communities.

Let’s have the backs of the people who are on the front lines right now.

for our democracy. Make sure they know the grassroots are with them.

In solidarity,

Rep. Dave Min, Member of Congress, California's 47th Congressional
District

P.S. Texas Democrats have shown the courage. Now it’s our turn to show the
support. [ [link removed] ]Every dollar you give today will help cover the costs for
those who left Texas to defend democracy — and fund the fight for fair
maps everywhere.
