Before I sign off...

Glad I caught you, John. I know you’ve heard from me and my team quite a bit over the past couple of days. The honest truth is that midnight tonight marks an important fundraising deadline as we close in on March 5. As it stands, we're a little short of our 1,000 individual donor goa…

Community over PACs

John, I'm emailing to respectfully ask if you can chip in a donation of $3 to my grassroots campaign to succeed Adam Schiff in CA-30. Let me explain why: We are less than 50 days away from one of this cycle’s most competitive congressional primary races. And it's no secret that …

I can’t thank you enough, John

John, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your support in making our final fundraising deadline of 2023 a success. I know we ask a lot, but since our campaign is rejecting corporate PAC contributions, individual contributions are powering this movement. I’m humbled by every…

The cruel future the GOP wants for women

John, I proudly represent our region in the Assembly, and I will always put CA-30 first in Congress. But none of us should turn a blind eye to what’s happening in states like Ohio and Texas.   These states have used the attack on Roe to create draconian policies, and the war on w…

Keeping pace with special interests
