“the most vulnerable Dem on the map"

John — After Republicans spent millions of dollars attacking Josh, his seat is now in danger and he’s being called “the most vulnerable Democrat on the map.” If we lose this seat, we lose our House majority - so will you please send in a donation right now before our first end-of-m…

Proud to be endorsing Josh!

Hola, John! I’m Senator Alex Padilla and about a year ago, I was sworn in as California’s first Latino Senator. Today, I’m proud to be endorsing my friend (and soon-to-be-dad) Josh Harder for re-election. Josh is running in one of the most competitive districts in the country, and …

one of the worst Supreme Court decisions ever

John, Today marks 12 years since the Supreme Court made the disastrous decision in Citizens United to open the floodgates for shady, unlimited outside money to penetrate our elections. In just 2021 alone, Corporate PACs spent over $400 million to bully elected officials into doing …
