Republicans launch fake group against Ro

A few days ago, we let you know about a new super PAC formed against us called Ro Must Go. On their social media pages, they claimed to be a “coalition of Democrats and Independents” against Ro. Now, that struck us as...odd. Our team just made a shocking discovery. A few days ago, we let you…

Let’s deliver the White House to Democrats

California is one of the truest blue states in the union, but we have an obligation to help deliver the White House to Democrats by helping flip swing states -- and this year, all eyes are on Florida as the “tipping point” state that will give either candidate their 270th electoral vote. Cali…

We’ve made enemies

Shadowy figures just launched a new super PAC called Ro Must Go PAC. With zero FEC reports filed and just a few weeks until the election, their potential spending to influence this race is unlimited. It’s no secret – Ro is an unapologetic progressive voice on Capitol Hill. But you can’t stan…

[Breaking] New super PAC launched against Ro!

We just got word that a new super PAC has officially been formed to oppose Ro’s reelection campaign — with less than 8 weeks left until Election Day. And we have no idea how much money this PAC has to use against us. This is big. We just got word that a new super PAC has officially been form…

All-out

I’ll make it simple here – we’re going all out. FEC deadlines are critically important because once they’re over, reporters and our opponents can see three very critical facts about our campaign: How much we raised, how much we spent, and how many small-dollar donors chipped in to our campaign. …

Missed our goal

A lot of people stepped up to help, and for that we’re incredibly grateful. But unfortunately, we ended up missing our goal. That means we’re starting off the month already behind, a little over 60 days away from Election Day. This isn’t the email we were hoping to send. Last month, our team …

We’re running into a problem. This month, our goal was to raise $25,000 online to fuel Ro’s reelection campaign. That’s ambitious, sure, but we’ve seen what grassroots donors can do to fight for a real progressive agenda. Hey, hope your weekend was good. We’re running into a problem. This mo…

From 19125?

This isn’t the email we were hoping to send. Just two months away from Ro’s reelection, we’re in danger of missing our $25,000 goal for August. As it stands, we need to be in a position to ramp up fundraising – not cut vital campaign activities. This isn’t the email we were hoping to send. J…

During the Democratic Convention, I voted against the adopted platform of our party. While I agree with my colleagues that defeating Donald Trump is our top priority in November, I think we need to draw attention to what happens after November too. During the Democratic Convention, I voted ag…

What America is Mike Pence living in?

If you’ve been watching the RNC like we have, you’ve seen a spree of partisan speeches extolling the “greatest economy ever.” And we won’t argue with part of that – Donald Trump’s economy was certainly the greatest economy for corporations, millionaires, and the top 1%. Which America are the …

Plan of action

When it comes to funding critical campaign activities, we really can’t overstate the importance of your support. Ro takes $0 from corporate PACs, lobbyists, or PACs of any kind! Take our word for it – that’s not something you see everyday in Congress. We’re living in a new reality of political…

Defeating Donald Trump

Let’s be very clear about this: Donald Trump is an existential threat to our democracy. His behavior is unbecoming of an American president, and his clear disrespect of our founding principles is beyond explanation. He needs to go. I just finished my virtual speech at our pre-Democratic Natio…

Taking a stand

Over 5.4 million of our fellow Americans have lost their health coverage in the middle of a global pandemic. Any platform that did not include Medicare for All – a guarantee that no American would die because of their inability to afford care – is out of step with this moment in history. Last…

“I have big donors, wealthy donors, and then high profile people and so, I have huge support on the back end and that’s why I decided I can take over this town.”

Election day is approaching fast. On November 3rd, Ro will face off against this far-right opponent — a candidate who’s angry at all of our progressive success, and who wants to reverse our progress. “I have big donors, wealthy donors, and then high profile people and so, I have huge support …

A simple policy that would radically curtail COVID-19 transmission

The longest we’ve ever gone without raising the minimum wage

People can’t live on $7.25. Families definitely can’t live on $7.25. There’s a reason why almost half of Americans would struggle to deal with just a $400 emergency expense, and it’s because our economy is not designed to work for the vast majority of workers. We set a record today. Not a goo…
