The new Congressional maps have just been released, and California has to come together in November to stand up to Donald Trump and these corrupt Republicans who are trying to rig the midterm elections. Democracy is on the line and we have to fight back!

I’m excited to officially announce my candidacy for California’s 40th Congressional District! It's critical that Democrats take back the House to stop the chaos and corruption threatening our democracy. I'm ready to fight for an affordable future for all!

(3) try to influence Democrats to push money to state parties, and push those parties to recruit and pay top people to run them. No state party chair should be a volunteer. It’s an insult to the job.
