John,

First, I want to say thank you to the incredible community of supporters who have already stepped up to join this movement. This campaign is only as strong as the people behind it, and your outpouring of hope and love and a belief that we can build a better future are what inspire and motivate me to show up and fight for the dignity of every person in our district with everything I have.

For too long, politics in the North State has felt like a series of transactions. We see politicians showing up only when they need a vote or a check. At the same time, families from Susanville to Santa Rosa continue to struggle with rising costs and a broken healthcare system.

To them, this is a career; a job ladder to climb and power to attain for themselves. 

That’s not how it should be, and that’s not how I will represent our community. 

I am running because I’m done with politics as usual. We are not just fighting to flip a seat. We are fighting for progress that people can actually feel. 

That means finally moving toward a single-payer healthcare system where no senior has to cut pills in half and no family is one ER visit away from ruin, and challenging the systems that are making housing and groceries so expensive for our families.

This campaign is powered by people, not corporate PACs. To build the infrastructure we need to win this year, I am looking for a core group of 2026 Founding Donors to stand with me from day one.

This is about more than an election. It is about a long-term commitment to the dignity of every person in our district. Will you join us as a Founding Donor today?
