Dear Neighbor,

I’ve lived my life by a couple of really simple rules: do the work, tell the truth, stand up for what you believe in, and do the right thing. As your State Senator, I’ve done my best to adhere to these principles and work proactively to deliver results for the Orange County communities that I represent.

In the State Senate, I’m fighting to:

• Reduce retail theft and help business owners prevent smash and grabs.
• Expand mental health services and build supportive housing.
• Help local businesses succeed and create new jobs.
• Protect abortion rights and ensure access to reproductive healthcare.
• Address the fentanyl epidemic by going after dealers and distributors.
• Reduce gun violence by authoring commonsense reforms.

I served as an officer in the United States Army following my graduation from Yale University. After leaving the service, I had a successful career in technology and film production.

I’m also the founder of ArmedForce2Workforce, a not-for-profit initiative to assist young veterans in the pursuit of career-oriented employment.

My campaign has earned endorsements from local police officers, sheriff deputies, firefighters, paramedics, nurses, and teachers because they know I’m an honest and effective leader for Orange County. I would be honored to earn your vote.

Josh Newman
