Saturday, September 30, 2023 at 6:00 p.m.
Congressman Ted Lieu, Heart of LA and several of our Board and Steering Committee members are sponsoring an in-person event to support the re-election of Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez - ”MGP” (WA-03).
Rep. MGP flipped the district that republicans have dominated for the last 12 years with only 0.8% margin. She’s one of the most targeted House districts by the RNC. It’s a must win for us in 2024. Let’s support her together.
