I’m very excited to announce that I am officially running for U.S. Congress in California's 34th Congressional District!
I am running a 100% grassroots clean-money campaign... because it’s time to put our community first.

AIPAC and the pro-Israel lobby are working nonstop to take down progessive candidates accross the country. My opponent has already taken almost $150,000 from them, and they are just getting started.
I’m not afraid of them. I know I stand on the right side of history. The side

Not sure what happened here but I don't agree with this tweet. Apartheid is never something to support. Palestinians in Sheikh Jarrah are being brutalized and murdered for refusing to give up their homes!
🚨 BREAKING: This is no longer a “long shot,” but history in the making!
The people of

know who really represents them, and the numbers reflect it. They’re ready for change and rejecting the status quo. They’re ready for someone finally putting Community First.
Let's vote out a corporately funded Democrat Congressman who pockets money from banks, developers, the oil industry, Big Pharm, student debt collectors.

You failed to mention that the violence was brought on by Zionists claiming to counter-protest, and you failed to do anything when these same people have been escalating this violence for days.
Students have the right to peacefully protest without being harmed, and our leaders
We spoke to the people, and the people have spoken.
Our thin margin shocked America, and now we rally to ensure every single vote is counted. Your voice and your vote matter more than ever. This is history in the making.

Concept: Voting in so many down-ballot progressives it’s no longer a “squad” but a Congress truly representative of the people.
This can be reality in six days. Vote.

: "The average age of House Democratic leadership is 71 years old .... the top echelons of leadership hang on forever and squeeze out young new voices coming up ..."
We definitely need a new generation of leadership.
You should be alarmed by the info coming out about ICE.
You should also be alarmed that my opponent, a self-described “progressive,” voted to INCREASE ICE FUNDS.
If you prematurely declare victory when every third party source says an election is “too close to call,” please reflect on what matters more to you: winning, or our neighbors having their voices heard.
A vote for me is a vote FOR
✅ Decriminalizing homelessness
✅ Science
✅ Clean campaign finance
✅ Abolishing ICE
✅ Criminal justice overhaul
✅ Homes Guarantee
✅ Funding the community
✅ Universal Basic Income
✅ Your childrens’ futures
✅ Green New Deal
✅ Medicare For All
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/
I came out to my parents 4.5 years ago. We didn’t talk for 20 months because things got so toxic. Today, my dad said he loves me and accepts me as I am. And if you know a little of my story, that’s huge.
Miracles do happen. ❤️ Let’s go!!! ❤️🔥🦄
I am beyond disappointed to see this misinformation. The slim margin between us is only a *fraction* of the outstanding votes to be counted. There‘s no winner until every voice is heard. Please respect our democratic process and the folks working hard to count every vote.

’s new TikTok. He’s right: the stock market is NOT a measure national wellbeing. We the people are a measure of how the country is doing.
Congress just took a 2-week recess without deciding on any relief for the people. This is INSANE. They aren't doing their jobs in representing the will of the people.
It's to make noise. Nationwide.

Our race is still deemed too close to call.
What this represents is the passion our neighbors have to demand change in

and beyond.
This is what rejecting the status quo looks like, from the ground up. The people have spoken.
My opponent is misleading our
#CA34
constituents to think he's been endorsed by
@AOC
&
@BernieSanders
when neither have endorsed in our race. He takes more corporate PAC 💰 than a majority of Republicans in Congress & is now trying to wash us away w money.
We won't let him. RT.
Today, Jimmy Gomez showed that he is not capable of leading. Instead of voting to PROTECT the first amendment rights of every American, he decided to simply not vote. Why? Because he didn’t want to upset AIPAC.
Let’s be clear, the Antisemitism Awareness Act is antithetical to
Coming out was one of the scariest things I did in my life. My parents and I didn't talk for 20 months; they still don't approve (dad's a pastor). I understand the pain. To whoever needs this: You are loved, powerful & more than enough. You are worthy.

I ran into
@RepJimmyGomez
last month, & congratulated him.
I then emailed him & left a VM message, so I could share w him the constituents' feedback/stories that I heard on the campaign trail.
I haven't heard back.
The 96,554 constituents who voted for me, are important too.
Just got word of Biden-Harris-Gomez signs going up in Eagle Rock, where my signs have mysteriously vanished.
This is dirty campaigning and misleading. Senator Harris has NOT endorsed my opponent, nor is it a packaged ticket. The Biden-Harris campaign DID NOT endorse Rep. Gomez.
Instead of stealing our signs, they’re now fastening theirs directly over ours! Take a look. 👀📼🧾
We‘ve never touched opposition signs before, but in this case our PERFECTLY GOOD SIGN IS HIDDEN. It’s this type of dirty politics of the past we’re fighting to reject tomorrow.
Jimmy Gomez just voted to approve $26 Billion in aid to Israel, in support of their war against the Palestinians in Gaza.
We need your support to help us oust AIPAC Jimmy from Congress!
My opponent claims he’s “progressive,” but his marijuana stances and record tell an entirely different story.
We did the research he hopes his constituents won’t do.

🚨BREAKING: We’re still in the lead!
Despite sending misleading mailers piggybacking off legislation drafted by others, my opponent has LOST ONE POINT in most recent data. Misleading your constituents doesn’t win; putting Community First does.

Politics shouldn’t be scary.
Politics shouldn’t be unfamiliar.
Politics shouldn’t be distant.
Politics shouldn’t be inaccessible.
Politics shouldn’t be unrepresentative.
Politics impact you.
Politics impact us.
Vote to put politics back in the hands of the people.
Since there have been some asking what the results meant tonight. Our placing 2nd out of 5 candidates means that we get to campaign one on one against the incumbent in November in California, bc our March primary election is an open primary where only the top 2 candidates

My opponent tweets about the horrors of privately-owned ICE facilities as if he didn’t vote to INCREASE ICE funding AND takes donations from these private detention companies.
Congressman, this is beyond deceptive. “Progressivism” isn’t on a pick and choose basis of convenience.
My Rep calls himself “progressive,” yet sides with Trump more often than 92 other Dems.
Voting to increase ICE funds and allying with private prisons behind closed doors is not “progressive.” It’s highly problematic.
That’s why I’m running to replace him. Enough is enough.
This is what principled leadership looks like. If elected, I would be voting no on sending more weapons to Israel as well.
Unfortunately, my opponent doesn’t hold the same values.
All of us have seen the tragedy of Gaza.
We've seen how Netanyahu's government has used US weapons to kill indiscriminately and create famine.
I will not participate in this carnage.
When Congress votes on sending more offensive weapons to Israel today, I will vote no. 1/
Name a bigger let down than John Fetterman. Instead of berating protestors, how about you hold Israel accountable for the genocide they are perpetrating? Like my opponent, Jimmy Gomez, you stand firmly on the side of AIPAC and Israel, while thousands of lives are lost and
I don't know who needs to hear this, but blocking a bridge or berating folks in Starbucks isn't righteous, it just makes you an asshole.

Two weeks in a row, tens of thousands of Angelenos have filled the streets near Pershing Square, marching for an end to the occupation of Palestine. The U.S. Congressman who represents this district has remained utterly silent on the issue. That man is my opponent, Jimmy Gomez.

Rep. Gomez voted to INCREASE ICE FUNDS and his campaign is FUNDED BY the private prisons contracted by ICE. This is ALL public record.
The deception is beyond despicable.

As elected officials we expect opposing views and even protests. However, when individuals use physical intimidation, verbal aggression, and violence that threatens innocent people, staff and elected officials for political gain, it crosses the line of free speech. 🧵
