Meet Mike Garcia: The California Congressman who went full MAGA.

Garcia calls himself “pro-life, without exception.”

CA-45: Extreme

Transcript:

She could be the most dangerous politician in California: Michelle Steel.

She led the charge against abortion rights, signing on to the most extreme bill in the country to ban abortion nationwide, with no exceptions for rape or incest.

And with mass shootings on the rise, Michelle Steel voted against background checks, making it easier for violent criminals to get guns. 

Michelle Steel: Wrong on abortion. Wrong on gun safety. Radically wrong for Orange County.

CA-45: Signed On

Transcript:

Even before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Michelle Steel signed onto this bill [Life at Conception Act] to ban abortion nationwide.

And supported jailing doctors who perform them.

Then after Roe v. Wade was overturned, Michelle Steel signed back on to that bill to enact a national ban, with no exceptions for rape, incest, or a woman’s health.

Michelle Steel won’t stop until abortion is banned everywhere, even in California.

And so it’s up to us to stop her.

CA-45: Always Fought

He’s the son of refugees who enlisted at 18 and got activated after 9/11.

Now, Derek Tran’s running for Congress to protect abortion rights, take on Big Pharma to lower drug costs, and keep us safe by passing gun safety laws and fully funding law enforcement.

Derek Tran has always fought for us — and he’ll keep doing it in Congress.

In July, Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund and Victory Fund announced a $45 million electoral program and the launch of a new grassroots voter contact program to help elect gun sense candidates and defeat gun extremists up and down the ballot in key swing districts and states. Everytown’s efforts will focus on young voters on college campuses, voters of color, and suburban women in Arizona, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Last month, Everytown for Gun Safety Victory Fund and Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund announced a record $7.5 million to train and elect Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action volunteers, including many running in key races across the country, 46% of whom are running for their state legislature.
