Some thoughts on this month.

  John, Despite how chaotic things seem, it's been a productive month in Washington. We provided unprecedented relief to working families through the expanded Biden Child Tax Credit. Here at home, we're making progress on removing spent nuclear fuel from San Onofre. And after negoti…

Can you check your supporter record, John?

  Hi John! Nate here, Mike’s Finance Director. We're no strangers to tough fights, and we know what it's going to take to hold the House and keep CA-49 blue. Mike's won two very competitive races -- first in 2018 when we flipped this seat, and then again in 2020 when we successfully …

Here's the latest in CA-49:

  We'll keep this quick, John. Saturday at midnight marks an urgent, end-of-month fundraising deadline for our campaign. Before we ask you to chip in, here's a quick rundown on the dynamics or our race: Once again, we're up against a self-funder with the ability to dump millions on …

San Diego Union-Tribune: Mike Levin is pushing for a solution.

  John -- I wanted to make sure you saw this editorial from The San Diego Union-Tribune about the new bipartisan caucus I started to accelerate the removal of radioactive waste at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) and other commercial nuclear power sites across the co…

re: the Child Tax Credit.

  Great news, John. This past week, 36 million families with kids have started receiving the enhanced child tax credit. In CA-49 alone, 124,800 families are eligible for the monthly payments we passed through Congress. Experts are saying this measure will have the single greatest im…

We need to pick up the pace.

  This is concerning, John. We just got word that the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has outraised the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) to the tune of almost $9 million. As a reminder, the NRCC and their associated PACs have attacked Mike in eve…

SIGN ON: It's time to upgrade our nation's infrastructure.

  We have some good news to share, John. Earlier this month, Congress passed the Invest in America Act -- an infrastructure bill that would deliver $20 million for new projects directly to CA-49. If passed, this bill would lock in funding to improve local railways in Del Mar, highway…

The urgency of our climate crisis.

  John -- As we celebrated the 4th of July holiday, we did so amidst reports that many in the Pacific Northwest, across California, and in the Southwest dealt with record-high temperatures, the start of fire season, and extreme droughts. It was a sobering reminder that the effects o…

This 4th of July.

  Happy Fourth of July, John. Thank you for all of your help meeting the mark on our second FEC fundraising goal of 2021. I'm so grateful, and I hope you have the opportunity to spend time with friends and family this weekend. This 4th of July, I'm reminded that patriotism is not pa…

Leave nothing to chance.

I'm not willing to let the issues that matter for our community be left up to chance in Washington.   John -- I'm not the type to leave things up to chance. When my constituents have concerns, it's not enough to just hear them out and hope the issues resolve on their own. We identi…

John, will we see your name on Mike's public FEC report?

  John, Our next FEC fundraising deadline hits tomorrow night at 11:59 PM. We know we've emailed a few times already, but we set out to raise $35,000 in online contributions before this deadline. That's a hefty goal, and the good news is that we are well within reach -- only $10,765…

Here's what we are watching closely:

What we raise now sets the tone for the rest of the year. And we're coming up a bit short.

  John -- In a moment, I'm going to ask you to make a $3 contribution toward our June FEC end-of-quarter fundraising goal. Fundraising has ticked down this month, so I want to explain why your donation today is so critical. 300 million shots in arms. 167 million relief payments. Mil…

re: Today's Senate vote on the For the People Act (shameful).

  This is infuriating, John. Republicans in the Senate just used the filibuster to block a discussion and debate on a major voting rights bill known as the For the People Act. Let's be clear: This was not a vote on the bill itself. The Republicans in the United States Senate have de…

A personal request

  I'll get straight to the point, John. I’m asking you to support Mike Levin's campaign to keep CA-49 blue by chipping in $3 before his FEC end-of-quarter deadline hits. Mike is one of the few Democrats on the frontline in the fight for the Majority, but here's really why your suppor…

Mike's directly in the GOP's path to take back the majority.

  Hey there, John. It's Nate here -- Mike's finance director. I'm reaching out because today marks the halfway point of the month of June, but we're only 39% of the way to our fundraising goal for the month. That's a bit concerning because June 30th is our end-of-quarter deadline whe…

Sick of this. [email fundraising scams]

The effort to remove nuclear waste from San Onofre is not over.

Bad idea.

  Hello John, I hope you're enjoying the long weekend. Many people don't know this, but we're one of the few campaigns in the country running a year-round field program. Our thinking is pretty simple: We can't expect to win if we're reaching undecided voters at the last minute befor…

Utter hypocrisy

  I almost can't believe it, John. This morning, Senate Republicans used the filibuster to quash the January 6th Commission to investigate the facts of the Capitol insurrection. Before I get into my thoughts on this, we need to be very clear about facts: What happened on January 6t…

re: a quick favor.

This morning (re: Liz Cheney)

My bill to permanently ban offshore drilling in Southern California
