What the heck

Hey there -- this race has always felt consequential. But, the last few weeks have shown just how critical the race is. Michelle Steel seems to just keep making headlines -- and not for the right reasons. She tried to help sell a prime piece of Orange County land to a campaign donor for n…

Orange County wasn't ready

Orange County wasn't ready when the pandemic hit. And, the truth is, that costed lives. An independent grand jury, as reported by the Los Angeles Times, slammed the Orange County response to the pandemic -- a response that was, of course, headed up by Michelle Steel.    Let's not forget tha…

Lie, Cheat, Steel

Michelle Steel's making headlines left and right -- and not in a good way. Hi there -- it's easy to lose track of just how urgent this race is when it feels like there is breaking news every single day.  But, let me just remind you, winning this race is critical. Michelle Steel just voted …

My opponent's vote

We all remember the shock and fear we felt on January 6, watching Trump-supporting rioters defile the halls of the Capitol, risk the lives of our Representatives, and ultimately take the lives of multiple people, including Capitol police officers. The attack transcended politics. It was a…

Liz Cheney

I was born into a Republican family and until 1997, I was a member of the Republican Party. But, when I saw the direction the Republican Party was moving under Newt Gingrich, I knew I had to leave it. And when Trump became president and I saw how the Republican Party was falling in line w…

Michelle Steel APOLOGIZES for working with Democrats ?!?

Our elected officials should not be saying sorry for working across the aisle to pass legislation that will help our community. Michelle Steel just apologized in front of a GOP gathering for working with Democrat Katie Porter on passing a critical resolution to protect the AAPI community. …

For sale: Public Bayview Park for donation to Michelle Steel

This isn't supposed to happen... We can probably all agree that Orange County is naturally one of the most beautiful places in the state, country, and maybe even world. We can also mostly agree that we need to protect our county's parks and public lands so that everyone can enjoy places to…

Folks, we can do it together . . .

Can I count on your help? Hi there -- last November, we saw our district flip with radical right candidate Michelle Steel heading to Congress. We must flip this seat back, and I'm not going to give up until we do. But, I need your help. We can do this. We have done it before. Let's do it a…

We've got a big challenge ahead of us

Michelle Steel raised a whole lot in Q1. We need to match her fundraising haul by coming out strong now. Michelle Steel raised over half a million dollars last quarter. How? By welcoming big checks from massive corporate PACs.  That means we're going to have to put up a stiff fight to take…
