Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Looking at the numbers and it’s unlikely there’s enough vote left for John Duarte to regain lead against Adam Gray. We won 4 competitive CA seats this year and in 2026 we will beat Calvert and Valadao and maybe one or two more. California Dreamin.

Adam Grey up in the Central Valley!
Adam Gray just took the lead by over 100 votes. We are about to beat John Duarte in this congressional race. California is about to have 3 flips while holding every Dem seat. Let’s go!
