We invested in grassroots organizers and partnered with candidates down ballot. I’m so proud of the work we did helping to flip 17 House Seats. Many of whom were candidates we partnered with in the primary. Imagine what would have happened if we had more investment early on.

I’m proud of the race we ran. We helped drive turnout and broke the super majority in the state house and senate. 2028 is around the corner. LFG!

Grateful for the endorsement of @cawomenslist! Their support means the world as we build a campaign that puts working families — not insurance profits — first.

I'm honored to earn the endorsement of Women's March Action! While women are on the frontlines of our affordability crisis, we have never been represented in this office. Together, we'll change that in November.

Sara Deen built a dental practice, was a school district prez, and is the rare South Bay Democrat who wants more housing built. Support her for Assembly District 66!

Huge congratulations to CA Sen. @aishabbwahab for winning this special election to Congress!  Her grassroots, people-powered campaign fought millions from AIPAC and dark money groups afraid of her courage and leadership.  That’s exactly why my Medicare For All PAC invested $225,000 to help her cross the finish line.  She is an amazing advocate for kids, working people, and for the glorious diversity that is our country. She can’t be bought and she’ll fight back even when it’s tough.  I can’t wait to work with her to get #MedicareForAll so everyone has healthcare, to fight back against ICE’s cruelty, and to end forever wars.  CA-14, thank you for showing up! I can’t wait to welcome Aisha to Congress!

Thank you to every volunteer, supporter, neighbor, small business, and partner who believed in this campaign. They spent millions on attacks and misinformation. Our community proved that people power is stronger than corporate money. Onward to November. #VoteJessieLopez

In #AD12, @Jackie_Elward went from 2.5% behind second place on Saturday to 1.7% behind today. This'll be another one to check in on.

Four years ago this week, I left the LA Times and almost 30 years worth of journalism. In my final column, I wrote about what *really* is the problem with voting in California. Just as true now as it was then…
