It's RUFF out here!!!

Hi friends! It’s Cali again, the team dog of the Josh Harder campaign! Being the official campaign dog is important business, so listen up, humans: we’re falling behind our goal for this month, and Republicans are giving my friend Josh a really ruff time. Our race is super close, a…

we’re in a tough spot

John, A lot has been happening in our race, and now we’re in a tough spot. First, Kevin McCarthy got his #1 recruit to run against me. His name is Tom Patti and he’s not only a huge threat to our campaign, but a huge MAGA supporter. Then, election forecasters began predicting a “Red Wave” in the…

The GOP is gaining ground

John, I’ll be honest: July has been a tough month to keep up enthusiasm and excitement among voters. Unless you’re a hard-core politico like us, you’re not even thinking about this election. But that’s the exact opposite of what we need right now and the worst timing. Republicans …

Republican hypocrisy

John, I think the Republican party’s 2022 slogan should be: No shame. And no consequences. Take Kevin McCarthy for example. On a private call he says Trump should resign after January 6th, and now he’s Trumps #1 fan. No consequences. Or just this week - one of my Republican collea…

this is a nail-biter

John, You know me, I’m a numbers guy. So when I was digging into our spring election results, I found something pretty glaring that I needed to share: Of all the votes cast in the spring election, 50.6% were cast for myself and other Democrats, while 49.4% were cast for Tom Patti a…

RETURN OF THE SWAMP RATS

John, Have you forgotten about the invasion of swamp rats in the Valley? Of course not, these 40-pound, nacho cheese-toothed nutria can never be forgotten. These invasive rodents can breed up to 600 offspring a year and a few years ago scientists predicted they were on track to …

the results are in!

Hey John, We just got a hold of our opponent Tom Patti’s fundraising report, and wow - the results speak for themselves. Our grassroots team is clobbering him with $5 or $10 donations. We are proud to fuel this campaign with over 15,000 individual donations so far! And that include…

Reminder: I am NOT Senator Josh Hawley

John, Given last night’s January 6th Committee news, I just want to remind everyone that I am Democratic Rep. Josh Harder, not Republican Senator Josh Hawley. Two different people with very different values. And no, I didn’t fistpump the insurrectionists on January 6th and then run…

Trump is planning to run again

John, Did you watch tonight’s January 6th hearing? As I was watching I just kept thinking: and he’s about to run again! If Trump runs again it’s vital we have strong democrats in office to push back on his attempts to subvert our free and fair elections. Trump has shown he’s willin…

a tough week

John, Bad polls. Rating changes in the wrong direction. Experts predicting a “Red Wave” here in the Valley. I promised to always be honest with you, so here it goes: it hasn’t been a great week for our campaign. When experts as smart as Nate Silver at FiveThirtyEight are saying we have a real ch…

a “Red Wave” in the Central Valley???

I just voted to protect abortion rights

John, I just walked off the House floor after voting to pass legislation to protect abortion access and codify Roe v. Wade as the law of the land. It’s an important bill that unfortunately will never see the light of day in the Senate. We simply don’t have enough democratic votes. …

Did you see what Tucker Carlson said?

John, I don’t like to give Tucker Carlson any more airtime than he’s already got. But sometimes it’s important to call out his lies, so here I go. I almost couldn’t believe it when I heard his new way of defending the NRA - he said women “lecturing” men about male privilege is act…

Josh was expected to win.... “Now, maybe not”

John, We’re running into a huge problem: some people are starting to tune out because they believe (wrongly) that Josh has got this election in the bag. But that’s not the case at all! Just take a look at this new headline from our local paper. They said Josh used to be expected to…

FiveThirtyEight says we could lose this race!

John, Take a look at this! Nate Silver’s team says Josh has a real chance of LOSING this November. We always knew this was going to be a fight, but FiveThirtyEight just put the numbers out to back up just how vulnerable Josh is! The odds of losing are way too high for us to feel co…

the stakes have never been clearer

John, Yesterday my team and I marched in the Stockton Fourth of July Parade and it was amazing to see our whole community together again. There's really nothing like the 4th of July in the Valley. But after we were all together celebrating our nation's independence, we saw the ne…

BREAKING: new attacks against us

important updates since Roe was overturned

John, It’s now been 4 days since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade - and the impact has been just as swift and severe as I imagined. 26 states - over half - are now moving to criminalize abortion. In 8 states women are already being turned away from clinics. Some of the stor…

re: Josh Harder

John, Our democracy is still in peril. That might sound hyperbolic. But it’s not. During Trump’s first impeachment trial, we warned the American people that if he wasn’t found guilty, he would just do it again. Or worse. Sadly, we were right. Republicans let him off scot free, and …
