John,

Before we ask you to rush $3 before our end-of-month deadline, we want to shed light and explain the stakes in this race. ⬇️
  1. After flipping CA-45 by a tiny 653 margin in 2024, Derek is already locked in a key toss-up race for House control. National Democrats named him to their “Frontline” program for the most at-risk incumbents, and Roll Call ranked him as the second most vulnerable Democrat in Congress.
     

  2. This race is a top target from the national GOP. Don’t just take our word for it: Not one, not two, not three, but FOUR Republican challengers have already filed papers to oust Derek in 2026.

  3. In just a few days, Californians will decide whether or not the state will redraw its congressional maps to offset Republican gerrymandering in states like Texas. If Prop 50 passes, thousands of new voters will be added to CA-45 – and the path to re-election could become even more complicated.
Through it all, Derek is sticking to his values – not selling out to special interests like Big Oil or Big Pharma. He’s fighting for working families like his own in Congress, despite the constant attacks.

This is a critical moment for our grassroots campaign: Can Derek count on you to chip in $3 before our end-of-month fundraising deadline?
