“The daughter of immigrant parents. The first in her family to go to college. The oldest of 16 siblings. Mai’s life story and journey is a reflection of so many hard working families in Sacramento County, including my own. Mai Vang is the person we need fighting for us in Congress.”

Thank you to the 600+ donors who helped us reach our $100K goal in just two weeks.

I’m incredibly grateful for your support.

Before anything else, though, I wanted to take a moment to share some reflections on the government shutdown and what’s at stake for our working families in the region...

Many elected leaders were painfully silent as corporations & this administration worked to silence dissent. We need leadership to be uncompromising when it comes to fighting back — but you can’t do that when you’re also receiving tens of thousands of dollars from the very same corporate PACs. 3/4

The government should not be able to decide what they like and dislike and use coercion to censor speech. To be clear, organizing and people power is why ABC reverse its decision to cave to this administration’s authoritarian actions. 2/4

Jimmy Kimmel has been reinstated. That he was taken off-air at all is still alarming and it doesn’t change the fact that Trump used the federal government to threaten anyone who disagrees with him. 1/2

When Trump attacks free speech, corporations cave. @maiforus.bsky.social won’t. She’s calling on Rep. Matsui to stop hiding and start fighting back.

I’m taking a stand against corporate influence in politics. Trump is weaponizing the government to target people he disagrees with. As corporations cave on Trump's attack on free speech, I'm urging ALL of us take a stand.

Sacramento councilmember Mai Vang has filed federal paperwork to run against Doris Matsui in Congress. If she goes ahead, she would become the first elected official to challenge Matsui since she won the seat in 2005.
