"Experts say it's a close call" -- LA Times

Harley is the only Democrat to ever win CA-48. Full stop.  And the folks at the Los Angeles Times know as well as we do that this race is about as close as it gets. We have six days to show as many Orange County voters as we can that we need Harley to represent us. Can you help us do that by …

Fwd: Um, what?

Hey there -- we're only a week away from Election, so I'm going to get straight to the point. Michelle Steel, Orange County's top official, has publicly understated coronavirus's toll in Orange County. She's implied wearing masks are dangerous. And now she's just been spotted at two recent ma…

Um, what?

Harley and Alyssa emailed you yesterday about Michelle Steel attending an in-person fundraiser without masks.We just learned this wasn't a one-off. Just a week ago, she took a mask-less photo at a major indoor event for the right-wing leader Charlie Kirk. Check out her individual picture when…

Are you serious....

I'm truly frustrated, folks, so I'm just going to get right to the point.  Across the country, we've made huge sacrifices to fight the spread of coronavirus. College graduates aren't getting handed their diplomas, fourth graders are learning science on a computer, businesses are being closed …

I'm not okay with this, folks. I don't think you'll be either.

Last week at the presidential debate, Joe Biden reminded us that we're not living with coronavirus, like Donald Trump would like us to think, we're dying with it.  So, when my opponent, who is supposed to be overseeing our response to the virus, completely ignores medical guidance and holds a…

decimated...

Across the district, our signs are getting absolutely decimated. Like totally wrecked. Check it out ⬇️ We know it's just our opponent's obsequious followers stirring up trouble, but it's hard not to get upset over this type of vandalism. Especially, when you know one of our proud supporter…

A quick finance update

Hi folks -- we're approaching our final week, and you might think that it's getting too late in the campaign season to donate. I'm here to tell you once and for all: that's not true -- at all.  We're going to have to work for every single winning vote in this race. This next week could determ…

quick note

Hi there, I'm just quickly reaching out to let you know that there are only ten days until this election is over, and we're going to have to keep fighting up until the moment polls close. I'll tell you why: Republicans still outnumber Democrats in the district, and now radical right special i…

Outnumbered

Our seat is one of the most competitive in the entire country. In fact, Harley's win in 2018 was the first Democrat win in this district ever. Seriously. Now, the radical right is coming after Harley with everything they've got. And, that's probably because they think they can win back this s…

Fwd: The New York Magazine walks us through it...

Hi, I just wanted to quickly reach out to make sure you saw this email from earlier today.  This story really matters. It shows just how unprepared Michelle Steel was to handle this crisis and how the actions she took left so many Orange Countians vulnerable to the coronavirus.  The scariest …

The New York Magazine walks us through it...

Since the start of this pandemic, our opponent has completely mishandled Orange County's response. And that begins with some of the totally false and absolutely dangerous things she's said about masks. The New York Magazine remembers a couple of those statements, starting with calling masks "…

Fwd: Crossed the line.

Hey -- I just wanted to make sure you saw Harley's email from earlier today.  Republicans are set on taking this seat back from Harley. The Congressional Leadership Fund is spending dollar after dollar on ads that are just not true. Reince Preibus just donated $1,000 to our opponent. And, on …

Crossed the line.

Look, they've crossed the line. This entire election cycle, my opponent has been backed by the full force of the Republican Party. She's a Trump advisor. She's been endorsed by Newt Gingrich and Republican House Leadership. And she’s received more money from the Republican Party and NRCC than…

Laying our cards on table

I'm going to be very blunt here: we could very well lose this election in November. The Republican Party is setting their sights on our seat and spending every cent they have to spread absolute lies about Harley.  That's why we really need you to help right now. What we bring in right now cou…

The GOP's eyeing our seat

Look, we're in a really close race. There are absolutely no guarantees we'll win in November. In fact, NewsMax just reported our race could be one of the GOP's biggest pick-ups this election cycle. We can bet that the GOP and its special interest allies will flood this race with money, which …

Let's take a walk down memory lane... When Donald Trump called coronavirus the "kung flu,"  Michelle Steel said nothing. When Donald Trump had a phone call with Putin and didn't ask him about Russian bounties on American soldiers, Michelle Steel was quiet. When Donald Trump threatened our ab…

Two more weeks, folks. Sometimes it feels like this election season has been never-ending.  But, we're almost at the finish line, and now, to keep this seat blue, we're going to have to work harder than we ever have before.That's why we're asking: can you donate $10 right now to help re-elect…
