John,

Today I’m not asking for a contribution -- just your endorsement.

Here’s why: Three Republicans have now entered the race against me.

While I’ve been focused on delivering for our community -- from helping military families to fighting rising costs -- these challengers are being backed by national GOP operatives and special interests who want to flip this seat.

Just this week, I spoke out as 318,000 Orange County residents risk losing SNAP benefits and families across CA-45 face health insurance costs that could double if Congress doesn’t act to reopen the government.

I came to Congress to serve people, not play politics.

That’s why I need to know you are with me: Will you click here to endorse my campaign to keep CA-45 blue?
 

Add your name

With the GOP laser-focused on CA-45, the strength of this grassroots movement is under a microscope.

These next few months will define whether we can hold this seat and whether working families in Orange County will have someone fighting for them in Washington -- or if the national GOP flips CA-45 and keeps control of the House majority.

Republican challengers are already raising money off the shutdown and spreading misinformation about our work. I’m not interested in their games. I’m focused on getting results.

Your endorsement tells them this community is paying attention. It tells them we’re united, and we’re not backing down.

Add your name to stand with me and keep CA-45 blue. Together, we can show the strength of this movement.
 

Endorse Derek

Thank you,

Derek
