Josh is one of the most "at risk" for redistricting!

John, The Cook Political Report released a new report that says Josh is one of the most at risk members of Congress from redistricting! DONATE NOW TO HELP US FIGHT BACK California is losing a Congressional district for the first time ever, and now it looks like Josh’s seat cou…

results from our poll

Wow! Yesterday my team sent a poll about paid family and medical leave, and 93% of you agree we need to include this signature proposal in our next big piece of legislation. I completely agree, John! I’ll send these results over to my policy team so they know just how important this…

POLL: Do you agree we need paid family and medical leave?

John, There is a lot of debate in Washington about what should be included in our next bill. One thing Josh believes 100% is that we need to pass paid family and medical leave so that moms and dads have the support they need to take care of their family. We want to know from you: …

I appreciate everything you’ve done

John – I hate to sound cliché, but I really do have the most amazing supporters in the world. I wanted to reach out and just to say thank you so much for everything you’ve done. Last month was a really tough one for me and my campaign. We had the first poll of this election cycle s…

Hey John, This afternoon at 2:30, I have a meeting with Josh to go over our fundraising numbers with the major FEC fundraising deadline coming up on Thursday. Right now, we need to raise $22,749 to reach our goal, but I would love to get that number below $20k and have some really …

they’re doubling down

Well, Washington Republicans are back at it. We just heard that not one but TWO Republican Super PACs have gone up on TV attacking Josh. Republicans are clearly seeing the same data we did: the first poll of our race shows us down seven points and a majority of voters in our distric…

three developments we can’t ignore

A landslide victory (except in our district)

John, Governor Gavin Newsom won the recall election in a landslide victory statewide. He only lost one democratic seat in the entire state of California -- and that was ours in CA-10. The fact is, our district overwhelmingly voted for Larry Elder and we need to fight to make sure J…

homelessness is a crisis

John, Did you know that on any given night in California, there’s 170,000 people living on the streets? In the wealthiest country on Earth, that is simply shameful. Homelessness is a crisis here in California and we have to treat it with the seriousness it demands. So I wanted to g…

Where the recall “did the best”

John, As we watched the results of the recall this week, we were as shocked as anyone to see our very own Central Valley take center stage. Steve Kornacki and his Big Board sent us another big warning: he said the recall effort “did the best” here in the Central Valley. In fact, it…

2 reasons why this poll is so scary

This is NOT GOOD

John, did you see this? A new poll has us down by SEVEN POINTS against a Republican opponent. I’ll be honest, this isn’t what we hoped to see. The GOP attack ads clearly are working and I need your help to fight back as quickly as we can. If we lose this seat, we’re going to lose the…
