I’m honored to have the support of @ibew569.bsky.social, whose members keep our grid powered and are building the clean energy economy of the future. Growing the middle class means investing in the technologies that lower costs for families, and our electrical workers are leading that work.

Adios Issa! πŸ‘‹
Republicans think they can fool voters by swapping one MAGA politician for another. They can’t. CA-48 is ready to flip blue. I’ve beaten Republicans, the gun lobby, and Big Pharma before β€” and I’m ready to flip this Congressional District and take the fight to Donald Trump. #CA48 πŸ’ͺ

Today, I officially filed for Congress to flip #CA48 from red to blue! Proud of the grassroots momentum behind our campaign to deliver leadership in Washington that puts people first and stops Trump’s chaos.

Proud to have won the majority of delegates at CADEM this past weekend! Thank you to everyone who supported us at convention. Proud of the momentum we are building together β€” let’s flip #CA48 blue!

I know how to beat the gun lobby - because
@bradypac.bsky.social and I already have. Together, we passed California’s first ban on untraceable ghost guns and together we’ll take that fight to Congress to confront the gun violence epidemic with bold action, not just thoughts and prayers.

Honored to have the support of @wearecta.bsky.social! Our educators are critical to ensuring the next generation of Americans succeeds, and I’ve been proud to fight shoulder to shoulder with them in San Diego. In Congress, I’ll stand up to Trump and stop MAGA’s assault on public education.

Kristi Noem to visit border near San Diego today as polls show declining support for Trump policies Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's visit to the U.S.-Mexico border comes as polls show declining support for President Trump's immigration policies since the killing of protestors in Minneapoli...

Kristi Noem's actions with ICE in Minneapolis have proven that she is unfit to serve as Sec of Homeland Security.

Will Noem commit, right here in San Diego, that those same heavy-handed, militarized ICE tactics will not be brought to San Diego County?

I’m honored to have the support of Congressman @marktakano.bsky.social, a champion for equal rights who has never backed down from fighting for the LGBTQ+ community. In Washington, I’ll work with Congressman Takano to defend our civil rights and move America forward. #CA48

Mayor Kors has been on the front lines in securing equal rights for LGBTQ+ Californians, and I’m proud to have his support. His advocacy is an example of the progress we can make when we stand together.

San Diego City Council unanimously passes resolution opposing ICE enforcement tactics The item was brought forward by councilmembers Marni von Wilpert, Vivian Moreno and Sean Elo-Rivera, who said ICE operations have instilled fear in communities across the country.

ICE’s agressive and unlawful tactics in San Diego - and cities across our country - threaten the fabric of our nation. Everyone in our community deserves to live without fear, and I’ll continue to fight to protect that right.

Proud to have the endorsement of @asmcoreyjackson.bsky.social! When right-wing extremists in Temecula tried to ban textbooks that mentioned Harvey Milk, Corey led the effort to pass statewide legislation stopping book bans. Together, we’ll flip this seat and move our region forward. #CA48

If Greg Bovino is too violent for Trump, he’s too violent for our community. You don’t get fired or removed from one job and reassigned without accountability – certainly not when lives have been lost under your command.

This contract violates those principles and must be cancelled. Escondido PD should stand for the Constitution and the rule of law by keeping ICE out of the city.

San Diego council member asks Escondido to end ICE use of police training facility City renewed DHS contract this month for use of Escondido Police Department’s outdoor shooting range

ICE's chaos makes our community less safe and puts all of us in danger. This contract goes against our values, creates distrust, and must be cancelled before ICE's violence enters Escondido.

ICE’s assault on our country is un-American, unlawful, and unconstitutional.

Escondido PD must cancel this contract immediately and stop Donald Trump and Kristi Noem from fueling more violence against our community. #CA48

It’s clear ICE’s presence is not making anyone safer and there needs to be a full investigation and accountability into what occurred this morning. My heart is with the communities in Minnesota.

I’m devastated to see another shooting by federal agents in MN this morning. Kidnapping children, teargassing peaceful protesters, legal citizens fearing for their safety – this is not America.

Escondido Quietly AcceptsΒ $67,000 Contract with DHS to Use a Firing Range to Train 200 Special Agents ~ L.A. TACO β€œThis contract was approved administratively by the Escondido Police Department and has been in place since at least 2014,” Mayor White said in a statement to L.A. TACO.

Escondido approved a contract letting ICE agents train with weapons on city property. After Minnesota, this is unacceptable.

Local cities should protect our communities β€” not help train ICE to open fire.

Tell Escondido to cancel this contract now: secure.numero.ai/sign/Stop-IC....

Proud to stand with Hemet Democrats on MLK Day to protest ICE’s undemocratic and unconstitutional assault on our country.

Dr. King’s fight for equality for all in the United States continues today, and we must stand together to defend every member of our community.

As a former civil rights attorney in the Deep South, I’ve seen why the Voting Rights Act is essential β€” and the damage done when it’s weakened. Proud to have the support of @voterprotectpac.bsky.social in our campaign to defeat election denier Darrell Issa. #CA48

Republicans had their chanceβ€”and CA-48 is paying the price.

That’s why we’re proudly endorsing
@marnivonwilpert.bsky.social, a proven leader who flipped the most conservative San Diego City Council seat and delivered for working families.

It’s past time for leadership that puts people first.

Honored to have the support of @juliejohnsontx.bsky.social!

The first openly LGBTQ+ Congressmember from the South, Rep. Johnson has been on the frontlines defending our community.

In Congress, we’ll pass the Equality Act and protect LGBTQ+ rights nationwide.

I’m appalled by the aggressive, un-American tactics that Trump’s ICE agents have deployed in our streets. This pattern of tragedies – including the death of a 37-year old U.S. citizen in Minneapolis and the latest shooting in Portland – should alarm every one of us.

I’m running for Congress to ensure California 48 has a representative who will lower costs, protect access to care, and deliver for them – not Donald Trump and his reckless agenda.

After promising to lower costs, Issa has repeatedly voted to do the opposite – this time voting against the extension of ACA tax credits to lower monthly premiums for thousands of families. Southern California deserves better.

Once again, Rep. Darrell Issa has betrayed his constituents to protect Donald Trump and his party leadership, even as health care costs spiral out of control.

Where is Congress? Our Constitution grants only Congress the power to declare war. Congress must rein in Trump’s reckless actions in Venezuela.

Trump can’t even run our government, now he wants to run Venezuela? This is dangerous, costly, and repeats all the mistakes that led to Iraq and @RepDarellIssa is cheering it on.
