John, I’m the only Democrat in
this race who has never taken a dime of corporate PAC money and doesn’t
take contributions from lobbyists. Here’s a story behind it.

A few years ago I attended a reception for newly elected Members in DC. A
lobbyist came up to me and said “Well, I guess you’re one of the new
Members we’ll never see.” I asked him why. He said it was because I didn’t
take corporate PAC money. 

Since that day, I’ve said clearly—if lobbyists want to meet with me, they
better bring their good ideas, not their checkbooks. There are lobbyists
for organizations like Planned Parenthood who I’m happy to work with and
learn from. But no matter who you are lobbying for, I’m proud to prove
that I won’t be swayed by your check. 

As Members of the House, we are one vote of 435. That often means only a
fraction of the bills we want to pass will ever become law. But we all
have a choice to make when it comes to corporate PAC money. As Members of
Congress, we’re privileged to be in positions of power, and we should use
our power to stand up to the status quo and corporate special interests. 

Californians deserve to know that their Senator works for them. Whether
it’s using my whiteboard to hold Wall Street CEOs accountable or passing
legislation to prevent Big Pharma from raising prices, I’m proud to fight
for working people. 

Our campaign is funded by real, working people, and our average
contribution this week is $31. I rely on supporters like you chipping in
to keep our campaign afloat. [ [link removed] ]Can you make a donation today to show we
don’t need corporate PAC and lobbyist money to run a winning campaign?
