THREAD—I am formally calling on my opponent to stop running ads that display objectively false endorsements and deceptive portrayals of his record. If he truly cares, he will cease the misleading ads that have caused confusion and distrust in our democracy among our neighbors. 1/
While extreme bending of the truth and misinformation are unfortunately often utilized by political campaigns, these dishonest tactics are seldom used by those truly fighting for the people. Real representatives don’t need to deceive and mislead. If you care about #CA34, stop. 2/
Rep. Gomez, I can’t tell you how many constituents have come to us beyond confused about what they’re receiving from your camp versus what they’re reading online from third party sources. They’re becoming disillusioned with the process because they can’t even trust their Rep. 3/

Asian Americans being unapologetically Asian American in America is my favorite mode in the face of all the xenophobia and anti-Asian sentiment of 2020.

We mobilize. We vote. We say fuck you in ways our parents could not when faced with hate. #AAPI
18 to 29-year-old #AAPI voters cast 84,000 early votes in 2016.

So far this year, young Asian American voters have cast 330,000 early ballots. An almost 400% increase! 🙌🏼

Let’s keep it up. Text a friend!

“...polls show that Indian Americans are turning decisively to the left, alienated by the @GOP’s divisive rhetoric toward immigrants and minority groups.

72% of registered Indian American voters plan to support Biden, compared with 22% for Trump.” #AAPI

In light of Purdue Pharma pleading GUILTY for its role in creating America’s opioid epidemic, I present to you another thread of “following the money.”

Sit back and see what harmful opioid companies your #CA34 Congressman associates with behind closed doors. 👇
💰 $6.5k, Abbott Laboratories

They are one of the original masterminds behind the opioid crisis. They collaborated with Purdue Pharma, and literally delivered donuts to doctors spelling out “OXYCONTIN.” Below is an article on their marketing tactics. statnews.com/2016/09/22/abb…
💰 $14,000, Pfizer

This major drug corporation continues to sell an extended-release oxycodone pill. It is known to have potential for abuse and misuse. reuters.com/article/us-pfi…

Our elected officials in DC are disconnected from their communities, like balloons lost in the air; they're unable to connect w or understand the economic distress, & deep suffering that our people go through daily. Yet, they're proud to say they're fully fighting for the people.
They legislate among themselves in DC first, & then report back to their constituents, all excited, about the crumbs they've secured for them, when it should be the other way around, where they talk w their constituents first about the relief they need, before legislating in DC.
They take corporate/PAC money & claim that this doesn't affect their allegiance to the people, when their votes for corporate bailouts show otherwise. With the death of the pension and birth of the 401K in 1978, where big corporations lobbied Congress to pass the risk of

When John enlisted in the Army, he used outdated documents.

Because @DeptVetAffairs & @SocialSecurity had conflicting information, John couldn’t receive his benefits. Image

Thank you for your service, John!

Outstanding job to my casework team!

#DTLA resident Aslihon contacted my office because she wanted to know why her mother Muradiye – who she hasn’t seen in 7 years – was ruled ineligible for a nonimmigrant visitor visa. Image

In June 2017, Dawn applied for a green card but had not been updated on the status of her application since May 2018.

1/3: My parents’ story is the story of #WorkingFamilies in #CA34 and across America.

They worked night and day to provide for their kids — w/ no guarantee of a dignified retirement.

Joined my @WaysMeansCmte colleagues today for hearings on how we’ll improve #RetirementSecurity.
2/3: I wanted to know what kind of impact raising the #MinimumWage would have on the savings ability of women, #PeopleOfColor, and low-income Americans.

Nancy Altman, President of @SSWorks said:

Raising the wage is a “winning strategy, one where EVERYONE would be better off.”
3/3: Women have made gains in the workplace, but there’s still an #IncomeGap we need to bridge — especially for women of color.

According to Nancy Altman of @SSWorks, we can achieve this if we:

🔹 #RaiseTheWage

🔹 Strengthen #CollectiveBargaining

🔹 Expand #SocialSecurity

As climate change induced heat waves cripple the US in general and #LAHeatWave in particular, we have a stark greater good choice in #CA34. Jimmy Gomez managed to assemble 3 sentences on his website to showcase his environmental plan. one sentence is about endorsements. Image
#CA34 is a rare opportunity to vote for the greater good. Gomez's only opponent is Kenneth Mejia, @25forcongress. This is his Green New Deal climate platform to deal with the global warming fueling the #LAHeatwave ImageImageImageImage
and that isn't even all of it. the rest is here: mejia4congress.com/environment

people not in #CA34 can still help.
