The numbers are on our side.

John,   In a moment, we’re going to ask for a $5 contribution to fund our effort to unseat Ken Calvert. Recent developments have put our campaign in its strongest position yet, so we hope you’ll let us explain why your support is so important -- especiall…

Breaking: Dems take the lead in CA-41!

John,   We just got some huge news this morning that we need to share.   We now have data from the first batch of early ballots that have already been cast in CA-41. Ballots returned from Democratic voters have significantly outpaced Republicans. As of to…

Calvert’s plan to stop inflation: Gut Social Security and Medicare.

John,   Something that frustrates me to no end is how Ken Calvert and the GOP hammer on inflation and the economy, and yet their only legislative achievements this past year include banning books and outlawing reproductive rights.    Have you heard Calver…

Ken Calvert is paying for Jan 6th supporters to get elected

John, Last week, the fundraising report that Ken Calvert submitted to FEC went public. We dove in and noticed a number of concerning tidbits -- one in particular really highlights Calvert’s attitude toward Donald Trump's big lie about election fraud.   Ac…

To be blunt: literal lives are at risk this coming mid-term.

John, This summer, we watched Trump’s radical Supreme Court strip away rights that belong to women and hand them to extremists in the states.   Then, we watched the same Republicans who cheered “states rights” introduce a national abortion ban that would …

re: Ken Calvert’s latest attack 🙄

John, Have you seen Ken Calvert's latest TV ad?   It’s an attack ad against Will. Shocker, we know...   So, if you live in the 41st District, you might see this image on TV. 🙄 Needless to say, Calvert’s ads are completely mislea…

NEW AD: Exposing corrupt Ken Calvert.

John,   We wanted to make sure you saw our latest ad that’s up on the air!   Thanks to this grassroots team, we were able to put the final touches on an ad exposing Ken Calvert’s corruption. In this ad, we expose one of Calvert’s earmark schemes that made…

WATCH: Even Fox News called out Calvert’s corruption.

Ken Calvert has made himself richer at the expense of his taxpayers.

  John, For the first time in decades, Ken Calvert is being forced to run an actual campaign in a competitive seat, so years of corrupt practices are coming to light. Here’s one example: In 2005, Ken Calvert purchased property near the March Air Reserve Base near Perris, CA. Months …

I’m backing Will Rollins. And here’s why.

Have you seen the attacks on Will? Not very accurate.

  John, Ken Calvert just dropped a new TV ad in our race. To no one's surprise, it’s an attack ad against Will. So, if you live in the 41st District, you might be seeing some unflattering images of Will being labeled as “CRAZY.”   Not exactly an accurate depiction, is it? These ad…

One final request, John.

John, I know you've heard from my team quite a bit this week -- sorry about that. But this is a big moment for us and we’re in the final hours before our midnight end-of-quarter fundraising deadline. So, I had to reach out one last time. Carter, our Finance Director, just informed me that we onl…

re: Calvert’s record on choice
