meeting today at 2:30

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…

how we prevent a nightmare

Hey John, It’s Adam Schiff. In just a minute, I’m going to ask you to make a donation to help Josh Harder before his major end of the month deadline. But first, I want to explain what’s at stake. Time after time, Republicans in the House have prioritized politics over people. Their…

John, I’ve been saying it for a while, and now the press is finally picking up on it. We’re clearly in the fight of our lives next year and it’s going to be an incredibly tough fight to keep my district blue: DONATE NOW TO HELP US FIGHT BACK The Modesto Bee is completely right…

three developments we can’t ignore

First, a poll showed Josh down by 7 points against a Republican opponent. Then, the recall election happened and we were the only democratic seat in California where the recall won. Now, we are facing the most important end-of-quarter deadline of Josh’s career and we need your help…

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…

Our first big test since the poll

Hi John, Wanted to make sure you saw Josh’s urgent note. Last week, we found out polls have us down seven points against a Republican opponent. And our first public fundraising report since the poll is coming at the end of the month. So we need your help to show our strength before it’…

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…

my feelings on the bad poll

John, My team and I have been reaching out all summer warning about the onslaught of GOP attack ads we’re getting hit with. I wanted to make sure you all knew how intense the ad spending was getting because I suspected it was going to cause us some real problems. Then we got the po…

2 reasons why this poll is so scary

John, We’ve been digging into the first public poll of this race to figure out why Josh is currently down seven points against a Republican opponent and found two significant findings: President Biden’s approval rating is underwater in the Valley and that could be pulling down ent…

John, I have a fun update for you and your furry family members. A few months ago I told you about a bill I co-sponsored (the PAWS Act) to help our veterans get more access to service dogs. Well, I’m happy to share President Joe Biden signed it into law! We know that service dogs …

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…

Union work is in my blood

John, This Labor Day, we pause to remember the struggle and celebrate the achievements of the labor rights movement. This movement is personal to me because my dad was a member of Retail Clerks #1179 for over 15 years. I grew up on union benefits as a kid, so when I was elected as …

attacks on voting rights

Josh isn’t afraid to tell it like it is

how are things going?

John - how are things going? We’re now 6 hours away from our end of month goal, and we’re still $1,771 away. I’d really appreciate it if you could chip in. It’s been a tough month (with 3 GOP groups launching attacks on me...) and we really can’t miss this goal. I’m dropping my pe…

why the numbers matter

John, I’m a self-proclaimed numbers guy. I come from the business world where data and facts showed us the way forward. And running for Congress isn’t much different. Whether it’s how many doors we knock or how much our campaign is raising month to month, the numbers matter. That’s…

The mistake Democrats keep making
