Dear Friend,

I am overjoyed to announce I  just filed papers to declare my re-election candidacy for Congress in California’s 8th Congressional District. Since 2009, I have represented much of the new 8th Congressional District, which includes Contra Costa and Solano Counties. I like to get things done for our communities. In Congress, I have fought for a good economy, good healthcare, good education, and a good future.  

 

My promise to the 760,000 people of the 8th Congressional District is that I will never stop fighting for working families. In the last year alone, I’ve:


- Helped author and pass the Infrastructure and Jobs Act into law–which will create new union jobs, build new public transportation, rebuild water and sanitation systems, and repair I-80 and other highways throughout Solano and Contra Costa Counties.
- Secured the largest middle-class tax cut in American history through the American Rescue Plan, with an average tax cut of $3,000 for working families.
- Provided $223 million for Contra Costa schools and $45 million for Solano County schools through the American Rescue Plan.
- Passed legislation to address inflation and supply chain issues to ensure middle-class families have more money in their pockets.
 
Now, in 2022 and beyond, I will continue fighting for our communities. Together, we can:


- Establish a universal pre-K system and expand the Pell Grant to make a good-quality education attainable for all. 
- Create a national paid family leave program to support parents and children alike.  
- Pass my “HOME Act” legislation to build new affordable housing.
Lower healthcare costs and ensure healthcare is a basic right for every American. 
- Protect our democracy by passing new voting rights legislation.
- Ensure social and economic justice by ending discriminatory practices like redlining.
I will continue fighting for a bold and transformative vision of America. I look forward to presenting my vision to 8th District residents and would be honored to have their continued support. 
 

While I am thrilled at the prospect of representing this district, I will need your help to make it a reality. It will take a lot of resources to establish myself in this district, and I can use your help.

Thank you for your years of friendship and support, and I hope to connect with you after this holiday season. 

 

Sincerely,

Congressman John Garamendi
