We made history.

First, let me say from the bottom of my heart – thank you! Our incredible run for office culminated last night with nearly 3 million Californians voting for change, and winning 70% of the counties in the state. This is the bottom line: we couldn’t have gotten this far without you.

 

You. You are the reason that I ran. You are the reason that I will continue to stand and build our progressive movement across the state. Because you are the future of California. You marched, donated, canvassed, talked to your family, friends, and loved ones.

 

You shocked the establishment this year when we won the California Democratic Party endorsement with a tiny fraction of the war chest my opponent had. This wasn’t by luck, accident, or destiny. No, this was about your endless hard work and our shared vision. Movements don’t happen by accident, they happen because you have the incredible ability to organize and build power in communities that have always been overlooked by traditional politicians.  

 

You see, I was never supposed to be here at all. I’m the son of a hard working, immigrant mother with a third grade education. I spent my much of my youth in a San Diego barrio basement without healthcare, prospects, or even my own bed. I grew up with a plastic spork, not a silver spoon.

 

Yet, here we are — You and almost 3 million Californians voted to bring that life experience and perspective to Washington. Together we changed the political landscape of California forever.

 

This election shows California and the rest of the country that a new future is coming. We are the future of California, and our voice is not bowed or broken. Our voice is strong and unified, and together we will continue to make California the greatest state in the nation. Our work goes on.

 

And you better believe that I will continue to fight at all levels for 100% clean energy for the whole nation (not just California), Medicare for All, sanctuary for immigrant families, and when it comes to Donald Trump — I will always fight back.

 

These are our values and we will never compromise. Your future is California’s future, and I will always stand with you to fight for equity and justice.

 

We’ve given hope to Californians who yearn for change. We showed that no matter who you are, where you come from, the color of your skin, or who you love, you can still challenge the status quo and inspire others to a better future.

 

I pledge to continue to be a voice for California in every way I can. The fight to improve the lives of Californians didn’t end last night when the results came in, I think it just started. Stand with me as we continue to hold the privileged to account, speak truth to power, and ignite a brighter future for this state that we love so much.

 

You are, and will always be, my inspiration. You lifted me up throughout this campaign. I stand with you in power, now and always. I can’t wait to get back to work.

 

In Solidarity,

 

Kevin
