Can you pitch in $5 or more today to send me to Washington?

  John, Ken Calvert has had 16 terms in Congress.  I am asking for a chance to bring fresh ideas and new perspectives to CA-41. Look, I cannot promise to solve the problems of the world in those two years.  But, I pledge to every single person reading this email that for every single …

Powered by people, not corporate PACs

  John, I have some incredible news I wanted to share with you:  We just raised more than $2.2 MILLION in the second quarter, and that's all thanks to you. Not only did we outraise Ken Calvert again, but this marks our highest-ever fundraising total against him in a single quarter. Yo…

My grandparents.

I’ll never forget this.

  Hi John, Dr. Ruiz here. I'll never forget the first time I was elected to Congress in 2012. I'll never forget because I was so humbled by the way Democrats in the Coachella Valley rallied behind my campaign. We knocked on thousands of doors, made countless calls, and utilized peopl…

we cannot leave anything to chance

  John, In a moment, I’m going to ask you to chip in $3 to Will Rollins’ campaign for Congress, but first let me explain why this race is so important. CA-41 is truly one of the most consequential races in the nation. The path to a Democratic majority in the House runs through Cali…

Enough is enough.

  John, over the past few years, Ken Calvert has shown us who he is: I watched him undermine our democracy by voting to overturn the results of the 2020 election. I watched him cheer on the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade – and even push for a national abortion ban. I watch…

Obergefell v. Hodges

re: Will Rollins

This is a majority-maker seat.

  $3, John. That is the contribution I am asking you to make to Will’s campaign in CA-41. This IS a majority-maker seat. Democrats only need to net four seats in November, and Will’s race is one of our best chances to flip a red seat blue. If you already know that this is going to…

MAGA’s all out war on democracy

We can’t rest up   John — Here are two things I know: The old Republican Party is dead and gone. The MAGA anarchists now in charge of the GOP are pushing a dangerous agenda as they chip away at our democracy. Don’t be fooled by their fake denials: They do want to defund the FBI …

My answer is always the same:

one question that comes up a lot.

Some final thoughts on the week.
