Democrats are literally under threat.

  Democrats are showing some fight, John.   In Texas, state Democrats fled the state in protest of GOP Gov. Greg Abbott’s blatantly unfair redistricting map. The proposed map would redraw lines to hand Republicans five more seats in Congress and crush Democrats’ hopes of flipping th…

Thank you, John.

  Thank you, John. With your continued support in July, we hit our online fundraising goal – but we cannot afford to slow down our efforts, especially in the summer in a non-election year. My opponent Young Kim no longer represents the best interests of Orange County and the Inlan…

The last time I’ll ask

  I’ll be honest, John: I never thought that I would be in this position. I have spent my career helping people and uplifting our communities in the Inland Empire and Orange County – from starting my own small business and helping others start and sustain theirs, to fighting for kids…

This is the future Republicans want

  This is deeply personal to me, John. I’m running for Congress for families like mine. My mom worked as a public school employee, and my dad was a small business owner in the Chino Valley.   My life changed forever when my dad was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. My childhood me…

Let me explain

I haven’t had anything handed to me

  John, Unlike a lot of candidates for Congress, I have not had anything in my life handed to me. After my dad died from cancer, I grew up in a single parent household, with my mom being the sole breadwinner. I worked my way through high school, college, and law school doing anythi…

We can’t afford a slowdown, John.

  Hi John, it’s Alex – manager for Christina Gagnier’s campaign to flip CA-40 blue. I’m reaching out because our end-of-month deadline is one week away, and our fundraising has slowed down a bit. Will you chip in $3 right now, then let me explain why your support makes a difference? …

Young Kim is vulnerable. Let’s flip this seat.

  John, I am determined to flip this seat and the House majority blue. And here is the good news:   After betraying CA-40 time and again, my MAGA opponent knows she is in real danger of losing this seat. And Republicans know it too. It is why I have been attacked by the NRCC. Poli…

Following up with John

  I am following up on something important to me, John. Instead of asking you to donate to my campaign, I am asking you to sign on as an official endorser. This is a key moment to show we have the power of the people on our side. While we received hundreds of endorsements from acros…

I have a track record of standing up to MAGA BS.

  This is wrong, John. This week, the Trump Administration will END suicide hotline support for LBGTQ+ kids. The MAGA agenda is now stripping life-saving services from one of the most vulnerable and targeted groups in the country.   I am calling it out for what it is: Cruel, cultur…

  Did you see this, John?   I never thought that I would say this (trust me, no one is more shocked than me), but I agree with Trump’s former right-hand Steve Bannon. He’s sounding the alarm that the GOP is poised to lose the House majority next year – and he’s right to be worried.…

I couldn’t be more different.

John, I wanted to make sure you saw my opponent Young Kim’s latest betrayal. Before I get into the details, will you chip in $3 to help me unseat her? Young Kim has made her allegiance clear: She has put the MAGA agenda ahead of the people she was elected to represent in CA-40. Last week, she …

BREAKING: Young Kim just sold us out for the MAGA agenda.

  I am sick to my stomach, John. Despite promising her constituents that she would not vote for any bill that cut Medicaid, Young Kim just voted FOR Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” – helping it pass the House and head to the President’s desk to become law.   This bill is a d…
