Why We Endorse Adam
Steve Garvey is a rich baseball player who agrees with everything Trump says, even when it doesn’t help the people of California.
We’ve already seen a football coach get elected to the U.S. Senate and then, because he didn’t understand his new job, he would not allow hundreds of American soldiers to get the promotions they deserved, the promotions America needed to maintain its readiness during aggression from other would-be superpowers.
‘In televised debates with his Democratic opponents, Garvey has offered only vague notions about his agenda in a campaign he says is about “compassion and consensus-building.” ‘ (Washington Post)
We need someone who knows what team they are on and what the job actually is. That’s why we endorse Adam Schiff for U.S. Senate.
About Adam
Building a California Economy for All
Adam’s top priority is building an economy that works for everyone, and ensuring the wealthiest Americans and big corporations pay their fair share in taxes. Adam opposed the Trump administration’s tax giveaway to the wealthy and large corporations and continues to fight for a tax code that helps working people— instead of tax cheats.
Throughout his career, Adam has been a champion for workers. In the California State Senate, Adam secured a cost-of-living pension increase for California teachers. He also led on legislation, passed into law, that provided grants to universities and increased local film production and protected local jobs. During the pandemic, he successfully expanded unemployment insurance for contractors and freelancers struggling to get by. And he was a champion for an expanded child tax credit that lifted millions of kids out of poverty.
In Congress, Adam has fought for paid family leave, led efforts to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour in order to lift working people and families out of poverty, and championed the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act to expand federal labor protections and the right to organize. He has also voted against harmful Republican efforts to undercut overtime pay for millions of workers, fought to protect pregnant workers and LGBTQ workers from discrimination, pushed for the Paycheck Fairness Act to ensure women earn equal pay, and backed legislation to help small businesses keep their doors open and stay open during the pandemic.
Adam has also stood shoulder-to-shoulder with union workers on the picket lines in California, from hospitality workers to screenwriters, fighting for better working conditions and fair wages. He will continue that fight for working people and an economy that works for everyone when he is elected to the United States Senate by pushing for stronger worker protections, a fairer tax code, and better wages.
Throughout his career, Adam has been a champion for workers.
Adam’s successes include:
- Delivering federal investments to his district for everything from infrastructure projects and mental health treatment facilities to housing and youth engagement programs.
- Securing a major cost-of-living pension increase for California teachers.
- Protecting film jobs by ushering into law legislation that provided grants to universities and incentivized local film production.
