We won.
Thank you to my East Bay neighbors for re-electing me to serve California’s 15th District in Congress. My promise to you is this: I’ll keep fighting for your freedom to dream.
If you’re like me, you’re probably still anxious right now. Because while we were able to clinch re-election last night, there are still a lot of unknowns out there.
Ballots are still being counted in states like Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. There are still competitive Senate races yet to be called, and the House is still up for grabs at this point.
Here’s what I do know — We are going to make sure that every vote is counted.
But the implications don’t end there — in the doomsday scenario that the Presidential election is a TIE in the electoral college, the vote shifts to the House where each state’s delegation of representatives will cast one vote.
Because despite what Trump said last night, counting all votes isn’t fraud. But trying to prevent all votes from being counted is.
Now, our fight continues as we fight back against any attempts to stop counting the vote.
One team’s path to victory relies on disinformation and disenfranchisement. Our team’s path depends on your votes getting counted and your voices being heard.
I know which team I’d rather be a part of, and I thank you for being an integral member of that team too.
