Why I think Joe is CA-40’s best hope.

Hi there John, Governor Gavin Newsom here – and I have something to share about Joe Kerr, CA-40’s Democratic nominee for Congress.  Not only is Joe a veteran firefighter, a longtime labor leader, and my friend, but he’s also the best chance we have at ousting right-wing extremist Young Kim. That’s …

I’m 100% pro-choice, my opponent can’t say the same.

Hi John,  I have some pretty big news to share: Planned Parenthood Action Fund has officially endorsed my campaign for Congress!  At a time when reproductive rights are on the line and access to abortion grows increasingly limited state-by-state, it is a relief to have organizations like Planned Pa…

My goal from the beginning.

Hi there John, Now that I am officially the Democratic nominee for CA-40, my campaign is ramping up our work – because, together, we’re one step closer to delivering real solutions for Orange County. Now, I have an important end-of-quarter deadline and I could use your help. Can I count on you to c…

What’s at stake.

John, We’ll keep this short:   Our democracy is under attack. Republican extremists like Young Kim are only adding fuel to the fire. Luckily Joe Kerr knows how to put those out.  We have exactly FIVE days until our first end-of-quarter deadline since Joe won the primary election and became the offi…

A race to watch.

John, This November, we’re facing one of the most crucial elections of our time.  And something you may or may not know about this race:   CA-40 is closer than ever to flipping blue, trending faster than any other district in the state. In fact, the DCCC named CA-40 one of the “House Democrats’ Dis…

Right on schedule...

John, It’s been a couple of days since Joe was declared the Democratic nominee for CA-40, and the NRCC is already going to great lengths to attack our campaign… From the NRCC spokesperson himself… Let’s call it like it is: this is a desperate attempt to smear Joe’s reputation and distract from the …

I have a story to share about my husband and I.

John,   Hi there - I’m China Kerr, wife of Joe Kerr who is running to be your next Representative in Congress. I'd like to share a deeply personal story with you about our IVF experience as Republicans work to further restrict women's healthcare.  22 years ago, Joe and I went through the tedious, c…

Hi John, We’ll keep this short:   TOMORROW'S end-of-month deadline is potentially our most important deadline of the year: our last deadline before the primary election. Will you consider donating today to help us hit our goal for February and power through to the primary?  At this time in our cam…

Do you want the good news first?

John,  So, we have some good news and bad news.   Good news: We asked you all for help to keep our first TV ad up and running, and you delivered! Our video is reaching voters across the district as we speak. Bad news (sort of): The ad is at risk of not circulating again. And this close to the prima…

Alabama’s IVF ruling hits too close to home.

John, On Friday, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that “frozen embryos are people and you can be held legally responsible if you destroy them,” jeopardizing IVF (in-vitro fertilization) practices in the state. When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, we feared it would lead to rul…

One way you can help Joe before March 5th.

Hi John,  We’re already halfway through February, which means we’re just over half a month away from the California primary… Needless to say, we’re ramping up our fundraising emails, like this one. We understand how annoying it can be to get bombarded with emails during this time of year.  So we hav…

This fight is personal.

On this day 51 years ago, the Supreme Court issued Roe v. Wade, a landmark decision that protected women's right to choose. That right was tragically ripped away in 2022 by SCOTUS’ Dobbs decision…  This anniversary holds a unique weight for me. My son, Joey, was conceived through IVF (in vitro fer…

Did you hear what Young Kim did last week??

Last week, 221 Republicans voted to open a sham impeachment inquiry into President Biden with no evidence.   That’s right. Instead of focusing on soaring house and grocery prices, curbing gun violence, or tackling climate change, the GOP is wasting taxpayer dollars on a baseless inquiry and conspi…
