John —
For the past 10 years, I’ve represented the same stretch of neighborhoods
within California's 28th Congressional district. From my home in Burbank
to West Hollywood, Glendale, Pasadena, Little Armenia, Silver Lake, and so
many incredible places in between.
With redistricting, I’m running to represent tens of thousands of new
voters and new communities across Los Angeles. And in what’s become a
redistricting tradition, my staff and I piled into a car at 8:45 a.m. to
visit the new areas of the district — California’s 30th Congressional
District — and meet voters.
Like any good Southern Californian, I started the day at the Original
Farmer's Market. It was great to meet so many folks, hear their stories,
and their passion for our country and democracy. Also, I discovered some
great vegan jerky (not kidding).

We moved from the Farmer’s Market to the Grove next door, where I popped
into a bookstore and signed a few copies of my book to surprise future
shoppers.
From there, we piled in the car again to head over to Park LaBrea. It’s
the largest rental property in all of Los Angeles, and fun fact, it was
founded as a planned community post-World War II by the same developer
that built the neighborhood in NYC where my wife was born — Stuyvesant
Town. We dropped in on some residents to get their perspective on the
community's needs and concerns.
These residents confirmed what I’ve long known and have been fighting for
in Congress: Rent prices are astronomical everywhere, but housing costs
are especially out of control in Los Angeles. And the relief passed by
Congress during COVID is not enough. Affordable housing is scarce. It’s
preventing too many from owning homes and is a major contributor to our
homelessness crisis. We need to create more affordable housing. Now.
On our way to Miracle Mile, we stopped by a memorial outside a furniture
store on La Brea to pay our respects to Brianna Kupfer, a young woman who
was tragically murdered at that site. Violent crime has been on the rise
since the pandemic has begun to subside. We need to invest in our
communities, from community first policing programs to better mental
health services, so we can ensure our neighborhoods stay safe.
After a long day of traveling around, bumping elbows, and meeting so many
new constituents, it was time to have some fun. My staff was a tad
embarrassed by some of the “dad” photos I was taking – but hey, how often
do you get the time to visit the tar pits, the largest section of the
Berlin Wall outside Berlin, and LA County’s famous museum row?

Here’s where you come in. I’m inspired to fight for for these communities
and all of those that I’ve represented for the last decade. And I’m
determined to make them proud of who represents them in the nation’s
Capitol.
I just announced my campaign last month. But it takes campaign resources
to really introduce myself to all of these new voters. If you can, please
pitch in a few dollars so I can campaign to represent California's new
30th Congressional District. It would mean so much to me.

Thanks for reading this email. It’s days like this that keep me energized.
And supporters like you that make this fight worth it. Thanks for all you
do.

P.S. I still can’t get over the fact these wholly mammoths roamed Los
Angeles during the Ice Age — that’s crazy!
