Clock is ticking

NationBuilder Friend, Time’s running out to hit our end-of-quarter fundraising goal. Ted has been working around the clock to lower costs for everyday Americans, protect our veterans, and fight back against the Trump Administration’s cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. In order to keep doi…

"Get Over It"

My Website Facebook Twitter YouTube Contact Me Dear neighbor, Behind closed doors this week, Mitch McConnell told Republican Senators that constituents will “get over it” when they cut Medicaid in their Big Ugly Bill. Get over it? Say that to the 16 million people who w…

10 years of marriage equality

NationBuilder Friend, It has been ten years of marriage equality in the U.S. While we celebrate yesterday's anniversary of the historic Obergefell v. Hodges decision and Pride Month, we must also reaffirm our commitment to standing up for LGBTQ+ rights in the face of attacks from …

I Agree with You

My Website Facebook Twitter YouTube Contact Me Dear neighbor, In April, I sent a survey asking Southern California constituents, “Should Congress cut Social Security and Medi-Cal (Medicaid) to enact tax cuts?” The results were overwhelming. 93% of you said no. I agree. …

Big, ugly betrayal

NationBuilder Friend, The GOP’s big, ugly budget is deeply unpopular and dangerous. And to no surprise, most Republicans are avoiding their districts and accountability. The ones who do show up are having a hard time defending their decision to rip away Medicaid from millions of A…

Embarrassing for Trump

NationBuilder Friend, People across the country are resisting. Resisting a president who is acting like a king. Resisting an Administration that is wrongfully detaining citizens and deporting kids. Resisting constant attacks on our democracy.  At the massive protests this past wee…

What Trump does best

NationBuilder Friend, Trump is doing what he does best right now — creating a crisis.  We all have the right to peacefully protest, and Californians who want to make their voices heard should be able to. Peaceful protest is a fundamental American freedom. However, acts of violence…

Too much at stake

NationBuilder Friend, We’re at the end of May, and as we look over our numbers for the month, we’re short of our fundraising goal.  While the GOP rips away healthcare and food assistance from Americans already feeling the pain of a weakening economy, Ted is standing strong in his …

It is up to us

NationBuilder Friend, While Trump’s indiscriminate tariffs result in everyday Americans paying more at checkout and small businesses struggling to navigate the chaos, the GOP is more concerned about giving tax cuts to the rich.  They’ve made their priorities clear, and we know tha…

Who we look out for

NationBuilder Friend, As the GOP continues to try to push a budget that looks out for billionaires, I want to assure you that I’m standing up for working families. As we’ve seen in their proposals, House Republicans want to take away Medicaid coverage from millions of Americans. T…

Billionaires’ bidding

NationBuilder Friend, Trump and the GOP have made one thing crystal clear: they’re doing the bidding of our country’s billionaires. Their attempted cuts to SNAP, Social Security, the VA, education, NIH research, among others, all lead to one result: more money for the wealthiest A…

Trump’s betrayal

NationBuilder Friend, Trump continues to betray the American people. He campaigned on a promise of a Golden Age. Instead, we are in a Grotesque Age. Whether it’s tanking the stock market, snatching people off the streets without due process, or pardoning violent criminals, Trump c…

A promise
