Before we head into 2026, I need your input.

  John, Before we head into the election year, I want to hear directly from you. December has brought major changes to our district and huge challenges for families across CA-49. Prop 50’s new maps mean 177,127 new voters will be added to the district, and we’re already preparing …

Before the year closes, John

  John, We’re halfway through December, and we are just days away from the final public fundraising deadline of the year. Our FEC report will show national Republicans exactly what kind of fight they’re walking into next year -- and we need to show strength. The landscape in this ra…

177,127

  Hi John, it’s Nathan with an important note. The circumstances in this race have rapidly changed -- 30% of CA-49 will be made up of new voters who have never seen Mike’s name on a ballot. We’re on a mission to reach every new voter (all 177,127 of them!) with Mike’s message. As Mi…

I’m proud not to own stocks while in Congress.

  John, Eight years ago, when I first ran for office, I made a promise to represent the people I was running to serve -- not put special interests or financial gain first. My wife and I divested every individual stock we owned. We did it because trust matters, and I believed that if…

I want to hear your story

  John, I want to speak plainly with you because this is serious. At the end of this month -- on December 31st -- the ACA tax credits that thousands of families in our community rely on are set to expire. If Congress doesn’t act, people in CA-49 could see their premiums double, trip…

CA-49 is still competitive for the House majority.

  John, To say that the passage of Prop 50 has shaken up races like mine across California is an understatement. New maps are being drawn, and thousands of new voters will be folded into CA-49. And while Prop 50 makes many Democratic-held seats safer, my race still remains one of th…

Our coast is under threat. I need you with me.

  John, I’m sounding the alarm. Trump wants to bring offshore drilling back to California’s coast for the first time in decades. His new five-year plan would reopen our waters to dangerous drilling, putting our coastal communities at risk of toxic spills that devastate local economie…

An urgent update

Right now, this is the most important district in the entire country in the battle for the House majority.   John, it’s Frank Mrvan and I need to share an urgent update with you. Over the holiday weekend, Indiana Republicans caved to Donald Trump, announcing their intention to vote o…

This is unlawful, illegal, and a total disgrace

  John, With your support in November, we met our online fundraising goal. This is a key milestone, but before we turn the page onto the midterm election year, I’m continuing to keep the pressure on the Trump Administration. If the reporting is accurate, Trump’s Secretary of Defense…

Don’t tune out now.

Hi John, it’s Mike here with one last note before we close out the month. First of all, I want to express my gratitude for your support throughout the year. We’ve faced a whole lot of challenges -- the historically-long government shutdown, an affordability crisis of Republicans’ making, and many…

quick note for John

  Hi John -- it’s Nathan, Mike’s finance director, with a quick note. Since Mike flipped this seat from red to blue back in 2018, he’s faced tough re-election battles. Last year he defeated a self-funded Republican by our smallest margin of victory yet -- just a few percentage points…

John, will you endorse my campaign?

  This is a different email, John. At this time of the month, I’m sure your email inbox is flooded with pleas for money from candidates like me. But I’m doing things differently: I’m not asking for your donation. Instead, I’m only asking for your signature of support. Will you clic…

Have you had a chance yet?

  Hi John, I wanted to follow up on the message I sent last week. According to our records, you haven’t completed our November campaign survey yet -- and I’d really value your input before the month ends. The past few weeks have been intense. The government shutdown may be over, but i…

A few important points

  John, After the government shutdown ended with zero relief for the cost of living crisis millions of Americans face, it’s never been more clear that Democrats must take the House majority. It’s hard to believe, but we’re only weeks from the start of the election year. Here’s what …

I’m taking your concerns seriously

  John, Voters made their voices heard loud and clear earlier this month from California to Virginia -- they want Democrats to stand and fight for democracy, for their healthcare, for a future where they can make ends meet. I want you to know that I’ll never stop fighting for CA-49.…

I’m not playing political games

I joined CBS to sound the alarm

Why I’m voting “no”

  John, Last night, the Senate voted to reopen the government – with 8 Democrats joining Republicans to reach a deal. Let me be clear: This is not a serious plan, and every Democratic Senator who voted for it should know better. Their so-called deal delays a vote on extending healt…
