Tonight’s ballot count from LA, OC & SB has us in the lead by 3,020 votes. We’re excited by what we’re seeing & look forward to this weekend's updates & giving the people of the 39th the representation they deserve.
It took Senate Republicans 30 days to confirm Justice Amy Coney Barrett. Yet, they’ve refused to even consider 2 COVID stimulus packages, one that has been sitting in the Senate for 164 days. The American people need relief, but Sen. Mitch McConnell doesn’t think it’s a priority.
“These new allegations are a threat to all we have sworn to protect. We must preserve the checks and balances envisioned by the Founders and restore the trust of the American people in our government. And that is what we intend to do.”

If it feels like more people are dying from gun violence, it’s because they are.
New data from the CDC shows that gun deaths are up for the third year in a row.
I was just on MSNBC responding to Rudy Giuliani’s claim that his only job is to protect the President.
His job maybe to protect the President, but my job is to protect the Constitution, and that’s exactly what our impeachment investigation will do.
It’s critical the millions of kids like Myka who have a pre-existing condition are covered. DC Republicans & Young Kim want to gut these protections. I can’t bear to hear one more story like Myka’s & will fight to ensure kids can get the care they need to live long, happy lives.
There are approximately 70,000 ballots still left to count. To make sure that your ballot counts, the campaign is chasing vote by mail ballots that were not signed by voters.

This is the first F I've ever been proud of. Young Kim accepts donations from the NRA & voted to allow concealed-carry weapons on our schools.

By threatening to use our military against the American people, the President is undermining our democracy and values
As a Navy Veteran, I’m proud to join my fellow veterans and national security colleagues in Congress to stand up for the people and our Constitution.
BREAKING: In a first-of-its-kind letter, 10 VoteVets veterans and national security experts in Congress stand up against Trump’s abuse of the military, saying he’s “on the verge of ripping the very fabric of our democracy apart.”
While American citizens in Puerto Rico are still suffering from inadequate recovery &

But we’re not taking anything for granted. I apreciate everyone’s support during this process, & we’ll continue to watch vigilantly until the race is officially called.
The Trump admin failed our fellow Americans in Puerto Rico, yet
@realDonaldTrump
refuses to accept reality. Nearly 3,000 people lost their lives & PR continues to need our compassion. There should be congressional oversight for the admin's actions
Today, I want to express my gratitude to our men & women servicemembers, especially those overseas, away from their families. And our firefighters and brave first responders combating the wildfires. Thank you to all of them. And I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

When those who serve return home, they are often pushed aside by DC bureaucrats who never fulfill their promises. We need Reps who understand service & who won't use veterans as merely tools for pandering.
Over 100 servicemembers have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). The same TBIs the President described as “not very serious.”
This is very serious. It’s disgraceful to describe this anything less than serious. I’m praying for the recovery of our servicemembers.
My family and I are evacuating our home in Yorba Linda. Please listen to our emergency personnel and first responders. I’m thinking about your safety and the safety of your loved ones and our firefighters.
Our campaign has been optimistic since election night, & we’ve fought to ensure that every person’s vote is counted. The Registrars have confirmed that this continues to be a fair & open process, & any allegations of fraud are unequivocally false and without merit.
I'm proud of my F rating from the NRA, and I'll always fight for common-sense gun safety measures.
The NRA endorsed my opponent,
@YoungKimCA
and gave her an A. The same NRA who was recently found to be full of fraud and abuse after their leadership lined their own pockets.
#CA39
Praying for a speedy recovery for our injured servicemembers and for the safety of all our patriots overseas.
It’s a disgrace that the President would compare potential traumatic brain injuries as “headaches.” Our men and women in uniform deserve better.
I asked Trump why he said no Americans were hurt after Iran retaliated for the Solemaini strike even though 11 US service members were airlifted. He said he heard they had “headaches” but does not consider potential traumatic brain injuries to be serious compared to losing limbs.
From our family to yours, wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays filled with hope, happiness, and good cheer. This holiday season let us not only spend time with our loved ones, but give back to our communities and those less fortunate.

Today the Armed Services Committee heard the testimony of five transgender service members. All five have deployed overseas, all five are still qualified to deploy, and all five believe that the president's ban on transgender service members is discriminatory. I stand with them.
Nearly 392K CA workers benefited from additional overtime pay, before the Trump admin undid the rule. We need to invest in working families, not big corporations.

We can honor his life & legacy by getting this bill signed into law & restoring the Voting Rights Act. The Senate needs to act.

The tweets the president sent this morning are factually wrong and racist. I'm incredibly proud to serve as part of such a diverse caucus, and work alongside so many strong women.
Hypocrite Sen. Mitch McConnell wants to vote on a SCOTUS Justice within the next 45 days, yet he's blocked COVID relief legislation for 127 days. He wants to play political games when families are struggling to pay their rent and put food on the table.
It's disturbing that Paul Ryan's Super PAC would put national security at risk, simply to make a political attack. As a former Naval officer, I strongly condemn CLF's actions to obtain & distribute a highly confidential document for political purposes.
Investigating the conditions at our border should be a top priority for the new Congress. And the President's insistence on a senseless border wall has put much needed funding for medical resources, personnel, and smart, safe border technology on hold.
My grandfathers served in WWII. My father served in Vietnam. They inspired me to join the Navy. Servicemembers, veterans, and military families put our country first.
Our men and women in uniform who made the ultimate sacrifice are not “losers” and “suckers”, they're heroes.
Today, we mourn the twelve victims of the shooting in Virginia Beach. They have been ripped from their communities and their families.
Tomorrow, we must continue the fight to ensure that our schools, offices, and neighborhoods are safe from the threat of gun violence.
I can't imagine what the heartache would be like if my two boys were taken from me. The inhumane treatment of immigrant families must end. We're at the border with
