Friend,
Serving my community has been my priority for my entire career. From community organizing on behalf of environmental justice to serving on the city council with a progressive agenda, I've worked SO hard to bring change, relief, and prosperity to San Diego.
This year alone, the city council has been able to pass bold, progressive policies during these difficult times.
We just passed new protections for workers in the midst of a pandemic. Expanded paid sick leave and efforts to rehire and retain staff that had been laid off due to pandemic-related closure are just some of the latest provisions we've put in place to make the lives of our hard-working San Diegans a little easier. Our workers, especially those on the front lines of the pandemic, deserve our support more than ever before.
We've also seen the San Diego Housing Commission allocate $46 million towards creating affordable housing, and we've worked to extend rent moratoriums to make sure no one fears losing their home during this economic crisis.
I'm so proud of what we've accomplished -- and I am more determined than ever before to bring my bold, progressive agenda to Congress. We will make our economy work for the people again.
But to get to Congress, I need your support. Chip in $5 or whatever you can to help meet one of our most important fundraising goals yet by midnight tonight -- so we can do even more together for CA-53.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
I already have a bold agenda of policies I will start advocating for on day one on the job in Congress.
We should be investing in public health. The coronavirus crisis makes clear why it's so urgent to ensure affordable health care for everyone. We've seen the harsh impacts in underserved, underinsured communities who have felt the virus' vicious impact most severely, and we need to move towards Medicare-for-All to make sure everyone is covered.
We should be investing in jobs and infrastructure. Working families are struggling through the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression. This crisis demands urgent, bold investments in jobs, infrastructure, student debt relief, and a fair economy --
and that will be one of my biggest priorities when I get to Congress.
Together, we've been able to achieve so much for our community -- and we can do so much more when I get to Congress. Can you chip in $5 or anything you can by midnight tonight to help me get there?
Thank you for joining me in this fight -- because my name's not the only thing on the ballot. It's our future.
-- Georgette Gómez
