We need to close the gap

  I’ll get straight to the point, John: This race was just rated as a toss-up by FairVote. With three seats separating the majority, this district will have a direct impact on our ability to stop the Trump administration’s corruption.   The GOP is treating CA-49 as a top pickup oppor…

Checking in with John

Hi John, I wanted to take a minute to personally check in and say thank you for reading these emails, supporting our work, and being in this fight alongside me. I first ran for Congress in 2017 because I wanted to advocate for a future where our kids can breathe clean air, veterans are treated w…

Falling short at the halfway point

  Hi John, it’s Nathan here – Mike’s finance director. Friday marks our mid-quarter fundraising benchmark. Hitting our quarterly goals is key to protecting this toss-up seat for House control – and right now, we’re coming up short of where we should be at the halfway point. I’m look…

critical juncture

  John, I’m reaching out to you personally because we’re at a critical juncture, both in my race and in this country. FairVote recently rated our race a toss-up, and with my opponent and Republican super PACs ramping up their efforts to flip this seat, we can’t afford to fall behi…

Add your name: Stop Trump’s environmental assault

  John, In his first 100 days back in power, Donald Trump has reignited the same scorched-earth campaign against our environment that we saw the last time he was in office.   We’ve seen this playbook before: → Gutting clean air rules and letting power plants pollute more. → Cutting…

I’m leading the charge

  John, On April 4, President Trump announced huge tariffs on most of the world, and the stock market tanked. On April 8, he attended a dinner with a number of Republican members of Congress and administration officials. On the morning of April 9, he posted on Truth Social:   Then, …

Grateful. Motivated. Ready.

  John, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Thanks to your support, we hit our April fundraising goal, and it couldn’t have come at a more important time. With national Republicans pouring money into this race and targeting CA-49 as a key seat for the House majority, yo…

No more excuses. Clean water now.

NEW: Our opponent was the highest-raising challenger in the country

How we grow our movement:

Trump Insider Trading: Who knew, and when?

This morning’s vote was a disgrace.

Trump’s tariffs are economic sabotage

  John, As the stock market continues to plummet at historic levels, Trump continues to push a trade policy that economists say has no basis in reality. These massive taxes on imports are a disaster and will hit the middle class the hardest. Working families will get crushed – Ameri…

The hard facts about our margins of victory in CA-49
