District 37
Juan Rey - Rey is a train mechanic for LA Metro, running as an independent, calling out both Democrats and Republicans for catering to the needs of the wealthy. Rey is outspoken about the exploitation of workers and will fight for labor protections. He believes decent housing and health care should be human rights. Rey is challenging the incumbent Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, who won this seat when Karen Bass vacated it to run for mayor. Kamlager-Dove’s top campaign contributors include a pro-Israel lobbying PAC and Vistria Group, which touts its growing business in healthcare on its website. That would explain why she hasn’t called for a ceasefire in Gaza. And why she’s stayed quiet about Medicare For All despite campaigning on her support for single-payer healthcare.
