Recently, I held a campaign event in San Francisco, where I heard directly from Californians about what's on their minds.
When a lot of people picture the work of government, they think about the legislative action happening in statehouses or in the Capitol. That's only part of the story.
Some of the most important work happens in communities. If you aren't listening to people and understanding their challenges, you can't represent them or be an effective leader.
When I was in Congress, one common question people asked was whether I got tired of having to campaign every two years. I actually loved it, because it was a chance to be in conversation with real people and to bring politics home to Californians.
Over the course of my three Congressional campaigns, I personally canvassed thousands of voters and spoke face to face with them.
Obviously, in a big state like California, you can't get to every single door. But, that's no excuse not to talk to any voters.
I need your help to reach voters from San Diego to Eureka: Can you chip in $5 today, so I can meet with people in every part and pocket of this state?
