Since November 6, my lead over Dana Rohrabacher has increased with every passing day. As of this morning, my campaign is ahead by 7,328 votes. After careful consideration of the data provided by the fantastic team at the Orange County Registrar, my staff and I are now confident that we have won the Congressional race in California's 48th district.

Here's what we know: the Orange County Registrar of Voters is reporting an estimated 404,145 ballots left to count across Orange County.

Like all of you, we're anxious to get the final results. But, I have to say — we're excited. As more ballots are counted, our lead continues to grow. Regardless of the outcome, you're the reason we've gotten this fair. Thank you.

I wish I could go back in time and tell my teenage self that my adult self is featured in Rolling Stone Magazine.

That is wild.

The best part? Sharing with a national audience our 48th District values like decency, finding common ground, health care, and the environment.
