Meet our team dog Cali!

Hey John, I’m here with our team dog Cali and I hope we’re not barking up the wrong tree here… but we could really use your help. This is one of the most competitive races in the country and we need to hold this seat and keep the House blue. If you could chip in even $5, $10 or $15…

John, As you get to know me, you’ll learn I’m a pretty direct person (why waste time beating around the bush??). So here’s the truth - We’re up against a lot this year. Our majorities in both the House and Senate are razor thin. We know that parties usually lose dozens of seats, if …
