With strong fundraising and pivotal endorsements, Feuer establishes himself as the frontrunner in California’s 30th Congressional District
After launching his campaign with the powerhouse endorsement of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, Mike Feuer announced he had raised more than $650,000 in only his first eight weeks of campaigning to succeed Congressman Adam Schiff in CA-30. Feuer’s total eclipses what any other candidate has disclosed so far.
“I’ve been overwhelmed by this outpouring of support,” said Feuer, noting this is the fastest start of any campaign in his public service career. “In such an urgent moment, our community clearly recognizes we need leaders who’ve proven they can rise to the toughest challenges and achieve big results. Our fragile democracy itself is on the line and we have no time to waste. I’m up to the challenge.”
Since announcing his candidacy Feuer has earned other key endorsements, including current and former members of Congress, other key officials, leaders on gun violence prevention, environmental protection, civil rights and many more.
Mike Feuer previously served as Los Angeles City Attorney, Majority Policy Leader, and Chairman of the Judiciary Committee in the California Assembly, as Los Angeles City Councilmember, and Executive Director of Bet Tzedek Legal Services, The House of Justice. The 30th District is Feuer’s home, and he has represented the lion’s share of it over the course of his career. Sixty percent of the district is in Los Angeles and West Hollywood.
Mike’s extensive record of achievement as a public servant is unmatched among his competitors in the race for Congress. A staunch defender of democracy, Mike wrote California’s Same-Day Voter Registration Law in response to voter suppression efforts. He has also fought to protect marginalized communities by challenging Trump Administration efforts to undermine the Census and DACA and make the LAPD complicit in civil immigration enforcement.
Feuer’s other notable achievements include his widely-recognized work to prevent gun violence, confront the climate crisis, expand access to healthcare, protect consumers, and stand up for women’s reproductive rights. He has led landmark litigation against Wells Fargo, written key laws to advance environmental protection, and enforced the FACT Act to require crisis pregnancy centers to inform patients of their full reproductive options.
Feuer has also been a vocal advocate for seniors and the LGBTQ community, fighting for marriage equality and targeting anti-LGBTQ hate and discrimination.
