I could not be more proud of the students at Oak Grove Middle School in the Jamul-Dulzura Union School District for being 1 of only 3 schools in California to win the Excellence in Civic Learning Award and the only middle school to ever win the award.

What a great morning on the campaign trail speaking about healthcare, education, and new leadership in Washington with the people of California's 50th Congressional District at our Tailgate Coffee event in Temecula.

Today we celebrate our Mother's. I lost my mother just over a year ago. Like all great Moms, she gave everything she had to my sister and to me. She taught us love, compassion, and extreme empathy. Happy Mother's Day all you great Moms!

On this Teacher Appreciation Day, let's take the time to thank our unsung heroes, our teachers. If we want to build the economy of the future, we must invest in our children’s education.

With vote by mail ballots being sent out this week, I would like to issue a well deserved thank you to our hard working volunteers in their efforts to get out the vote. We are going to flip this seat and put our country first for a change.

This is true. This seat is a long shot and

is the only Democrat who can win in November. #CA50

House: Democrats Risk Disaster in California's Top Two Primaries | Cook Political Report

May 3, 2018

"Democrats have a credible candidate in retired Navy SEAL Josh Butner... His profile could resonate in this military-heavy seat... It's likely the only scenario in which Democrats could win this seat is if both Hunter and Butner advance to November." cookpolitical.com/analysis/house

Republicans badly need a few lucky breaks to hold their House majority in November. So far in 2018, it's been the opposite story — from an unfriendly new Pennsylvania map to Speaker Paul Ryan's...

This is what putting personal profit and special interest politics ahead of country looks like.

I really enjoyed my discussion on KPBS about the issues facing #CA50, such as under resourced public education. Our grassroots campaign is fighting to bring common sense solutions to Washington in the face of politics as usual.

Thank you KPBS for having me on Evening Edition with Ebone Monet. Had a great time talking about putting country over party and special interest politics.

As citizens, we owe a special debt to veterans like Hector Barajas, who stepped up to defend a nation that promised to embrace them as full citizens for their service. Let's right these wrongs and bring our veterans home where we can give them the services they need and deserve.

Yesterday marked a year that we launched our campaign to put the people of the 50th district first, not personal profit and not special interest politics. With your continued support we will persevere and improve the quality of life for every American.

As Josh said, we're the strongest candidate to beat

@Rep_Hunter

b/c Josh will put "country ahead of any party, personal profit, or special interest."

The baseless Russian-style attacks against combat veteran

has no place in our democracy. This is why I'm calling for an independent, forensic investigation into the campaign of

@ACampaNajjar

to determine whether he had any ties to this anonymous fake news site.

Apr 10, 2018

(2/2) I call on Ammar Campa - Najjar to come clean, tell the voters of California’s 50th Congressional District - What did you know, when did you know it, and how deeply were you involved?

Apr 10, 2018

(1/2) I have spent my entire life defending our nation from enemies foreign and domestic. It is disgusting to see that a political candidate would hide behind an anonymous website to smear and denigrate another candidate with deliberate falsehoods.

Team Butner out today at March for Our Lives. It is time for common sense gun legislation that will help protect our community while still protecting our rights. This is why I will not take a dime from the NRA. Its time to put the people first, not special interest politics!

FACT:

voted for the tax bill that would raise taxes on many #CA50 families who earn less than $100,000 a year. FACT:

will fight for those same people, unencumbered by special interest money.

Over the weekend, I had a great opportunity to host our campaign townhall in Escondido. Meeting as many community members as I possibly can in order to hear about the issues that are affecting them is of the utmost importance to me.

Mar 19, 2018

Thank you to the East County Democratic Club for allowing me to talk about my values and vision for a better California's 50th Congressional District. Hearing the questions and concerns of your members and our community is the highlight of my campaigning!
