Why I got into this race

John, This is a long email about why I first got into the race for CA-08, but I hope you’ll take a moment to read it, and consider making a donation to support my campaign. I first decided to run for Congress after the ACA came under attack in 2017. I spent my career working in the h…

One of the most flippable districts in California.

John --  Not long ago, California’s 8th Congressional District was considered a safe Republican district. When we launched this campaign, most pundits thought there was little chance that we’d be able to turn it blue. - But then Rep. Paul Cook retired making this an open seat. - Af…

Summer slump?

John --  It’s been an unusual summer, but many people are still finding ways to kick back and relax. We’re glad to see so many CA-08 residents spending time outside and offline, but we’ve noticed a distinct trend because of it: our fundraising has ticked down. We’ll be direct, John: …

John,  As you might have noticed, I’ve been concerned about the United States Postal Service for a few months now -- we even circulated a petition calling on the federal government to safeguard this essential service. That’s why this headline in The Washington Post caught my eye: “P…

John --  If you live in CA-08, you are probably familiar with the massive, 4-foot-by-8-foot signs that cover the district by Election Day. In campaign world, we call them barn signs. Isn't she a beaut? Republicans have A LOT of practice blanketing the district with barn signs, an…
