Before I was U.S. Senator for California, I served as California’s Secretary of State.
In most states, including California, Secretaries of State are responsible for running free and fair elections — ensuring that everyone who’s eligible to vote gets to exercise that constitutional right to make their voice heard.

They’re also in charge of training poll workers, managing voter-registration databases, fighting election-related misinformation, and certifying election results.
It’s an important job, one that’s essential to the functioning of our elections and our government.
That’s why it’s extremely dangerous that MAGA Republicans are running in close races for Secretary of State positions across the country — including in key battleground states where a Secretary of State’s refusal to certify an election could pose a grave threat to our democracy.
As a former Secretary of State myself, I know what’s at stake. We cannot allow MAGA-right election deniers to assume control of these critically important public offices across the country.
We are facing a radical right-wing movement that continues to call into question the democratic process anytime that it doesn’t work in their favor.
And make no mistake — if these MAGA candidates win, they will do everything they can to pave the way for Donald Trump in 2024.
So thank you for making a donation today if you can afford to do so. It would make a big difference to Secretary of State candidates across the country, and it would mean a lot to me personally as well.
Thank you,
