Abortion rights are on the ballot in 2024. I proudly support codifying abortion rights into law. Michelle Steel, meanwhile, proudly supports a nationwide abortion ban. Vote accordingly at the polls.

Days after @MichelleSteelCA and extremists voted to cut funding for local law enforcement and critical services for working families - the Republican controlled House is in chaos. I'm running for Congress to work for the people of #CA45 not a special interest agenda.

Your regular reminder that @MichellSteelCA is leading the charge to restrict our freedoms. She sponsored the Life at Conception Act early on—aiming to ban abortion, limit access to contraception, and outlaw IVF. We can not trust Michelle Steel. This November, I will defeat her.

California's 45th is a Democratic district. The path to taking back the House runs right through this seat. Michelle Steel is among the worst MAGA members of Congress who supports Trump to this day. Chip in to help us defeat her next year.

What we heard at the RNC: ✅️ The GOP is a cult of celebrity, not a political party. ✅️ The GOP is anti abortion and women's healthcare. ✅️ The GOP is committed to serving the top 1% of Americans, not the middle class. We must stand up to them and win in November.

My parents came to this country to escape political violence. It has no place in our politics. Period. Thank you to law enforcement for their swift action and selfless work. Sending thoughts and prayers to those that were harmed. We must continue to work towards gun reform in

As an attorney, I spent my career taking on big corporations to fight for working men and women. That fight has not stopped. I am running for Congress to ban stock trading by members and hold big corporations accountable. Let's flip California's 45th to get it done.

Attended the grand opening of Carrot & Daikon today! Small businesses, especially veteran owned like this one, are the backbone of our economy and communities. Not to mention they make an amazing Banh Mi.

It is fundamental to our Democracy that we hold our elected officials to higher standards. Corrupt MAGA @MichelleSteelCA supports a convicted felon over fighting for the people of #CA45 . This November, I will defeat her and be your voice in Congress.

Two years ago, tragedy struck the people of Uvalde, Texas, when 19 children and 2 teachers were murdered by weapons of war that have no place in the hands of civilians. We must put an end to this violence and vote out NRA MAGA extremists like @MichelleSteelCA #CA45

The House majority runs through California’s 45th Congressional District. This is a blue seat, and Democrats outnumber Republicans. If you want to flip the House, then join me, because we must flip this district first.

I had the privilege of hearing firsthand about the Last Battle during the Fall of Saigon from a commander who led a platoon that defended the city until the bitter end. His bravery and resilience are remarkable. Thanks to people like him, countless others were able to escape to

It is a fundamental right that women decide what happens to their bodies. I'm glad to see the Supreme Court ruling protecting access to mifepristone. MAGA extremist @MichelleSteelCA wants to take away a woman's right to choose. We must defeat her. #CA45

It was an honor for me to be a part of the Vietnam War Veterans Day ceremony on board the U.S. Midway. My refugee parents owe their lives to these American service members. I’ll never miss an opportunity to thank our veterans for their sacrifice.

This campaign for Congress is powered by YOU! While Michelle Steel accepts hundreds of thousands of dollars from corporations and special interests, I stated from the first day of this campaign that I won’t accept a dime of corporate PAC money.

So proud to have this endorsement. I will fight for clean energy, clean water, clean air, and a safe and healthy environment for us and our children. And I will never take a dime from the fossil fuel industry, unlike Michelle Steel.
