Thank you for your support.

  John, Last night I called Dave Min to congratulate him on becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee for California’s 47th Congressional district. I offered him my best wishes and pledged to do all I can to keep CA-47 blue. I am immensely grateful to have earned your trust and co…

Today is Election Day in California.

  Hi John, I know it’s early – sorry about that. Today is Election Day! I wanted to send you a quick note before I head out to knock on doors and chat with last-minute undecided voters about my vision for Orange County. Polls close at 8 PM, and my team of volunteers and I are hittin…

Leaving it all on the field

  John, Election Day is TOMORROW! If you live in CA-47 and have not yet turned in your ballot, now is the time. I’m leaving it all on the field these next 24 hours because every connection to a voter makes a difference. I spent the weekend getting out the vote – knocking on doors, m…

no days off

  I apologize for reaching out on a Sunday, John, but we’re 48 hours away from Election Day and can’t afford to take the day off. Here’s what you need to know: My team and I are reaching out to undecided voters until the last minute. Whether it’s knocking on doors or funding our T…

Why I’m in this race:

  John, With just three days until Election Day, I’m going to ask you to chip in a critical $3 donation to bolster our final push. But first, I hope you read my story. It was never my plan to run for Congress. I didn’t have aspirations for public office, and I am not a career politi…

I am so grateful for your support.

  Dear John, Thank you for the incredible support you have shown me throughout this campaign. It is your belief in our movement that has powered this campaign, and it’s why we are in a strong position headed into the primary election on Tuesday. I am so grateful for your support, …

Reaching out again (sorry)

John, I know my team and I have been reaching out to you a lot in these final few weeks before Election Day – sorry about that, but I wouldn’t be reaching out again if it wasn’t absolutely critical. We’re five days away from our primary election and today is our final end-of-month fundraising dea…

I was on the news

  I have an exciting update, John: Last night, I was on FOX 11 Los Angeles to talk about our race in CA-47 – one of the most competitive in the entire country.   If you’re interested in watching the entire interview, click here! It was an honor to share my vision for Orange County,…

It was never Jo’s plan to run for office.

  Hi John! I’m Jason, Joanna Weiss’ husband. I’m reaching out because there’s less than one week until Election Day here in California and I’m reflecting on the amazing work I’ve seen Jo put into this campaign this past year. Before I get into it, can I count on you to chip in $3 wh…

NBC NEWS: “CA-47 is a bellwether”

  John, our primary is only one week away, and I need you to see this: NBC News just declared that nine California races could decide the battle for the House in November. Our race in CA-47 made the list. Here’s a quote that really stood out from NBC: “this district has been a bellw…

close

  John, we’re coming down to the wire ahead of Election Day. Here’s what you need to know: CA-47 is a must-win for the House majority. There are only four seats separating power – we can’t let the national GOP flip this seat red and maintain control. Joanna is the leader we need fig…

ICYMI: Huge poll results in our race

  John, At the end of this email, I am going to ask you to chip in $3 toward our grassroots movement to keep CA-47 blue. But first, I need to share some important news from the campaign trail: Results from a recent poll show us with a lead over our likely Republican opponent, Scott …

Joanna is the leader we need

  Hi John, it’s Grady – finance director of Joanna Weiss’ campaign to keep CA-47 blue. I’ll keep this to the point: Our FINAL end-of-month fundraising deadline before our primary election is days away. It’s critical that we meet this goal to keep our voter outreach running strong. F…

The GOP is attacking women.

  John, I’m sickened by the recent attacks on women’s reproductive health: Donald Trump – who my far-right opponent recently endorsed – backed a national abortion ban. If he’s elected president again and the House remains in Republican hands, it’s clear no one will stop him. The …

New report: CA-47 is “most consequential” for the majority

  John, A new report proves just how vital keeping CA-47 blue is for the majority – here are some highlights:   “The 47th District in Orange County, left open by Democratic Rep. Katie Porter’s run for Senate, is a top Republican target.” “If Democrats hope to take back the Hous…

re: our MAGA opponent

  We’re disappointed but not shocked by this news, John: Our far-right Republican opponent, Scott Baugh, just endorsed Donald Trump for president. This district is in real danger of flipping from blue to red, and it’s clear that if Baugh is elected, he’ll be nothing more than a rubb…

We’re in the final two weeks before the primary.

  John, can you believe it? Today marks two weeks until our must-win primary election! With voting already underway across CA-47, we’re in the final key weeks ahead of Election Day. But that doesn’t mean our work stops now. Will you chip in $3 to power our campaign across the finish …

Have you endorsed?

  John, Today I’m not asking you to donate toward my grassroots campaign to keep CA-47 blue. Instead, I’m asking you to endorse our movement. This is one of the most competitive and closely-watched races in the entire country. We need a surge of support to show our opponents that we…

I've had enough

  John, I have been infuriated by the extremism coming out of the Trump-controlled Republican Party. Trump just endorsed a national 16-week abortion ban, after boasting that he’s the reason Roe v. Wade was overturned. The continuing, shameless attacks on women and our reproductive …

re: Yard signs 🪧

  John, Today marks three weeks until our must-win primary election! Ballots are already out across CA-47, but that doesn’t mean our hard work is over. That’s why we’re blanketing the district in yard signs – this is a critical way to boost our name recognition ahead of Election Day…

The AP: CA-47 could make or break the House majority.

How $1 can make a difference:

Polling shows us ahead of the GOP.

re: your personal link

John, we’re officially entering the final weeks before our must-win Primary Election! This is a hugely competitive race. CA-47 is the only Democratic-held and open seat in the entire state, and keeping this district blue won’t be easy. The national GOP knows what happens here could determine Hous…
