BIG announcement [about my future]

This wasn’t an easy decision.

When I ran against Devin Nunes for Congress last year, I knew it was going to be an uphill battle. But because of people like you standing with me, we gave Nunes a run for his money and sent the message that if you put party before our country and partisanship before justice, people will step up to hold you accountable.

I don’t need to remind you that we fell short in that race.

Part of the problem was that Nunes built a fiefdom of Republican cronies throughout the Valley — and piercing that GOP infrastructure is a herculean task.

But now it’s time to build our own bench of Democratic candidates in the red parts of the state.

I’m proud to announce that I’m running for mayor of Fresno to defeat Devin Nunes’ handpicked crony — and bring real leadership back to Fresno and the Valley. Can you rush a donation to our campaign to help get us off the ground and turn Fresno from red to blue? →

This campaign isn’t just a proxy-fight against Nunes (though kicking out a Nunes crony will sure feel good). It’s about good governance and tackling the problems our community faces.

We have a homelessness crisis here in Fresno. And on the campaign trail I look forward to putting together a plan that brings economic opportunity and creates jobs and helps get people off the streets. That also means investing in mental health services to ensure people with illnesses ranging from schizophrenia to PTSD receive the treatment they need.

Good government also means reducing pollution and investing in open space, making Fresno a place everyone wants to live and grow a family.

If you’re with me and believe that every community deserves good government — and want to defeat a Devin Nunes crony in the process — then please chip in $5, $25, or $100 today. →

Thanks for standing with me in this new fight.

Onward,
Andrew
