Hi John,

Something historic is happening in California.

For the first time this century, a Republican has a real shot at becoming Attorney General. The polls are close, and I’m outraising Gavin Newsom’s wingman, Rob Bonta. Californians are fed up with an AG who rubber stamps the fraud and waste that occurs in plain sight. And they are going to SHOCK the nation.

A little about me: after serving as Huntington Beach’s City Attorney, I received an incredible opportunity to serve in President Trump’s Department of Justice. It was a dream job — but I couldn’t watch the Left continue to destroy my home state from 3,000 miles away. While I was in D.C., Bonta was busy letting criminals walk free, making a joke of California’s elections, and helping Newsom cover up scandal after scandal.

So I walked away from a high-level appointment to come home and fight for California’s future. »

I’m so glad that I did. From the moment we launched this campaign, the momentum has been like something I couldn’t have imagined. Californians are demanding CHANGE.

Johnc, this is our moment to shock the Democrat establishment. We’re not just running to make a statement — we’re running to WIN.

But Bonta and Newsom’s machine will throw everything they have at us. The fight of our lives is ahead of us.

I didn’t give up my dream job in Washington to settle for second place. I came home to win this race and restore law and order to California. » Are you with me?

For California!
