When I made the decision to run for Congress against a 14-year incumbent, I knew I was facing an uphill climb. But I was driven to make that choice because of the thousands of Valley families, like my own, who continue to struggle despite working hard and playing by the rules. I was driven by the belief that we need a member of Congress who represents us.
Congress is broken because Washington politicians put the interests of corporations over the interests of their constituents. That’s why I have decided that I won’t accept corporate PAC money – as your representative, the only interest I will be beholden to is you.
Right now, I need your help to defeat the special interests and put people first. Please donate today. Together, we can rebuild our middle class, fight for health care access for all, ensure kids can graduate college without crippling debt and stop inhumane immigration policies based in bigotry. We need someone in Congress who represents our interests, and the only way to do that is with a grassroots campaign that is driven by all of us.
Best,
Esmeralda
