Friends,
My name is Josh Harder. I’m a husband, a new dad and a Congressman running for re-election in California’s 9th district - one of the most competitive races in the country - and I’m so thankful to NewDems for allowing me to send you this email today.
At 36, I’m one of the youngest people to ever serve in Congress, and not many folks thought we could do it. We made history in 2018 when we flipped a Republican-held district and again in 2020 when I fended off a challenge from a Trump-loving Republican.
But this year, I’m in the toughest race yet with polls showing me tied with my extreme MAGA opponent Tom Patti. This race may decide who controls Congress this November, so I’m hoping you’ll send in a generous donation to support my campaign and NewDems today!

(That’s me with my wife Pam and our daughter Lillian)
I believe my job in Congress is very clear: stay true to my beliefs and be relentless in getting them accomplished. I'm a fighter against climate change. And I may have gone viral once or twice speaking truth to power against Trump (not sorry about that at all).
But because of my outspokenness, I’m a top target for MAGA Republicans this year. They’re already spending millions of dollars attacking me because they know my district is one of the most competitive in the country.
To put it more directly - if we lose this seat, Democrats could lose the House Majority.
And holding this seat won’t be easy, but we can’t afford to back down — not when so much of our progress and control of the House is at stake.
So please, send in a generous donation to support me and NewDems today.

We’re in this together, and we’re ready to win.
— Josh
