Quick question for you

We have a critical fundraising deadline in just a few hours, and Republican Super PACs are planning to spend millions to unseat progressive champions like Katie Porter.  We can't let that happen.  Will you rush a contribution -- no matter how small -- to our grassroots campaign before our mi…

i'm asking you personally, John

John: I wouldn’t keep emailing if it wasn’t important. The GOP is doing everything in their power to win this seat in November, all because I will not stop fighting for working families, and standing up to the Trump administration. But our race won’t be easy. Not by a long-shot. So even thou…

"No bullsh--"

Katie Porter was recently featured on Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, and she has a very clear message for the GOP: Katie is both a single mom and a committed member of Congress -- she knows that time is precious and can't be wasted by special interest groups who are used to running the clo…

Protect the ACA

The Trump administration is supporting a GOP backed lawsuit that would dismantle the Affordable Care Act. If successful, some 20 million people could lose their health insurance and protections for pre-existing conditions. A majority of Americans SUPPORT the Affordable Care Act, which is why…

My endorsement for Joe Biden

John, I don’t have time to beat around the bush, so I’ll get straight to the point: I need you to donate $5 to Joe Biden’s Presidential Campaign right now. Will you contribute? It was the honor of a lifetime to serve as a co-chair to my friend and mentor Elizabeth Warren’s campaign for the …
