What about the House candidates who flipped their district Blue in ‘24? They won because of our support. Will they win again without it now?

We raised them a lot of money last year and all are in good shape now. I will write about that tomorrow. Great question!

Delighted that we are supporting Dr. Richard Pan. I met him when he served in CA’s State Senate. He has supported healthcare issues as well as higher education issues, and others. In the State Senate, he always made himself accessible and went out of his way to help working class families. He has been fearless in pushing back against those who undermine the ability of working families to thrive. He also served in the CA Legislature at the same time as Kevin Kiley so understands his history and how to win against him. He is both fierce and optimistic and deserves our support!

Dr. Pan was my State Senator. The anti-vax people were so angry with him for supporting vaccination (remember, he's a pediatrician) that one of them threw blood on him from the balcony above the State Senate floor. He’s a smart, determined, brave man.

I remember that well. He has courage and a strong moral center.

Having already given to the 2nd troop, how can I donate through Hopium only to the new people that have been added?

Simon Rosenberg's avatar

Let me think about that. Reasonable question.

They sound like a very caring, giving group of wonderful people. I'm sure they will do our Country Proud! I will try to give our new group donations soon.

Top stuff Simon and all the Hopium community.

Inspirational to see how much has been raised already and continues to be raised, for all our great candidates.

This is great, Simon, but I need to point out something to you: Bobby Pulido is running in TX-15, not 35. Probably just a typo. Thanks!

Simon Rosenberg's avatar

Fixed it - thank you!

I listened to an interview with Manny Rutinel (CO-8) just yesterday and was going to ask you to add him. Glad to see you have! He is a great interviewee and I hope you’ll have him on soon, also!
