  Hi John, In just a moment, we're going to ask you to send in a potentially game-changing contribution of $3 to help increase our digital outreach in efforts. But first, we want to dive in on why this matters. Will has been criss-crossing the district connecting with voters from Palm…

Update for John

  Hi John, First, the good news: last quarter we OUTRAISED Ken Calvert by roughly $100,000. We also surpassed him significantly among individual donors! This success is truly a testament to our grassroots supporters like you, John. But unfortunately, we have some bad news too: since C…

  Hi John, it’s Will. I'm reaching out today with a special request. I’m asking you to join me in supporting Democrat Eric Sorensen’s reelection campaign in Illinois’ 17th Congressional District. Eric’s race, like ours, is going to be one of the closest in the nation, and your early …

Re: Mike Johnson

  John, After weeks of chaos, Ken Calvert and 219 other House Republicans just voted to elect one of the most extreme Speakers in United States history. Here’s how we got to this point: FIRST: fringe Republicans led by Rep. Matt Gaetz ousted Kevin McCarthy from his speakership positi…

emailing John again...

  John, You’ve gotten a lot of emails these last few weeks from key supporters of our campaign:  - Rep. Eric Swalwell emailed about how defeating Calvert is critical to our chances of retaking the House and ending the MAGA-caucus’ chaos. - Former Sen. Barbara Boxer emailed about how …

Jim Jordan

  John, Ken Calvert just endorsed one of the most extreme Members of Congress, Jim Jordan, for Speaker of the House:  The MAGA wing of the Republican Party has officially taken control of the House of Representatives.  Not only was Jordan a ringleader to overturn the 2020 election, …

re: incredible news.

  Hi John, it’s Will’s Campaign Manager, Coby. We just received some incredible news. We OUTRAISED Ken Calvert by roughly $100,000 last quarter.   This momentum happened because of you, John. Despite pundits' predictions that Calvert would outraise us again, it was your unwavering …

  John, I’m sure you’re following the chaos that has ensued in Washington these past couple of weeks, but if you haven’t, here’s a quick recap: After nearly shutting down the government, fringe Republicans led by Rep. Matt Gaetz ousted Kevin McCarthy from his speakership position. …

politely asking for your help before midnight

  John, Tonight at midnight marks our FEC fundraising deadline. Every fundraising benchmark matters, but here’s why this one will be the biggest test yet. Last fundraising quarter, Ken Calvert had a lot more time to fundraise than we did. He ultimately narrowly out-raised us. This wil…

McCarthy is a mess.

  What a mess, John. Kevin McCarthy's ongoing failure to avert a shutdown is just the latest in what's been the most chaotic speakership in recent memory.  It started when he let his MAGA and the Freedom Caucus cronies dictate how Congress is run. With their help, McCarthy booted me …
