SANTA ANA, CA Over the weekend, Lisa Ramirez earned over 52% of the vote at the California Democratic Party convention, nineteen votes total. Lisa overperformed last cycles nominee Joe Kerr, who earned 8 votes, and Esther Kim Varet who earned 7 votes, after spending more than $1.2 million on her campaign to date.
I am thrilled to have the majority of support coming out of the Democratic Party Convention, said Lisa Ramirez, These are the folks who have been doing the work to flip this seat and they know what it takes to win in Orange and Riverside Counties. They know that CA-40 is not for sale. I will make them proud and continue to build the coalition and momentum it will take to win in November so we can reclaim the promise of America.
Just last week, Lisa announced the endorsement of Assemblymember Quirk-Silva, who joined a growing list of endorsers, including Congresswoman Linda Sanchez, Congresswoman Luz Rivas, Congressman Lou Correa, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and more than a dozen local elected leaders from across the district.

I live in the district. Kim Varet was killing it in donations. Went to her website last year and it was fluff, basically zero policy, limited experience in anything. Contacted her campaign and asked for details, they said she would send out updates in a couple of weeks, I got zilch. She may have some fine policies, but to earn support, she damn well needs to publicly state what she believes in.
This district has been redrawn to basically Katie Porters old district so definitely a potential flip.
