Rodolfo is a first-generation immigrant to the United States. He graduated from UC Berkeley and Stanford with his Ph.D. He is a socialist, Green Party progressive candidate. He aims to remove his longtime Congressional Representative, who refuses to fight for his community and who has taken money from all the worst corporations - Chevron, GEO Group, Lockheed Martin, and Walmart. 

It's time to terminate economic predation. It's time to promote the general welfare. It's time for guaranteed housing, education, jobs, food, and so much more. We need a bold new direction for East and Southeast Los Angeles, as well as for the human species more generally. 

Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are capable of pushing for the kind of change that we need. We must break the two-party system if we are to save ourselves and our posterity from the deadly effects of the corporate state.

    “I am very proud Dr. Cortes-Barragan is challenging establishment trash, because people are dying of cancer, birth defects, and teachers also with cancer in the 40th District. Opt out of the logical fallacy "false dilemma" (voting red or blue) they don't care about you! The health of inhabitants living in the 40th will not be compromised due to corruption. If everyone living in the 40th District gave .25cents we could get ride of the trash. Jesus would vote for Dr. Cortes-Barragan because he was anti-establishment, he have a message of peace, healing, and freedom. No more wars is a message of peace, a Green New Deal is a message of healing and $15 minimum wage, free college, a path to citizenship is a message of freedom! It's time to take on the establishment whether your red, blue or unsure. Dr. Cortes-Barragan is the best antidote to the parasite of the establishment”

Our opponent is vulnerable. Can you pitch in?

Friends, 

Our establishment opponent feels very comfortable in her seat: She has less than 60k in the bank. She is not planning a serious campaign. We can win. 

Can you pitch in with another contribution? Your dollars go very far in our low-turnout District. It's us vs. the failed establishment. No other challengers. 

Thank you for your support. 

Rodolfo
