Chris Kluwe, Candidate for Assembly District 72

Appreciate the support! Here is a link to donate online instead of ActBlue: www.efundraisingconnections.com/c/Kluwe

I’m running for AD-72 because I refuse to sit on the sidelines while extreme politicians put themselves and their corporate special interests first. And I’m in it to win.

This would not have been possible without the delegates, volunteers, and community leaders who believe we deserve better than just politics as usual.

As the only Democrat in this race, I’m proud to be building the strongest campaign to flip this open seat blue. Thanks to grassroots supporters across Orange County, we’ve outraised every opponent as of 12/31/25, proof that we have real momentum.

It’s official! I’m honored to have the endorsement of the California Democratic Party. 💪

One year ago today, I was arrested for protesting MAGA extremism at the Huntington Beach City Council.

If I’m going to ask people to stand up for democracy, for our schools, for our freedoms, then I have to be willing to stand up first.

That’s who I am, and it’s why I’m running for State Assembly.

THANK YOU to our hosts, special guest Congressman Robert Garcia @robertgarcia.bsky.social, and everyone who joined us for our first fundraiser of 2026. It was a packed room!

This campaign is powered by people who believe in standing up, speaking out, and working together to get things done 💪

Big thanks to Laborers Local 652 for having me out to speak to everyone tonight! Extremely honored to earn your support, and I’m gonna fight like hell to make sure our unions stay strong and are able to provide good paying jobs to everyone in our communities.

Starting 2026 off with some VERY exciting endorsement news. ✊

I am deeply honored to have the support of @seiuca.org. Now more than ever we need leaders committed to fighting for working people just as hard as they do for their families. Onwards!
