Rustin for Congress

The stakes are real. Wealth and power have concentrated upward, institutions have weakened, and everyday life has become more precarious for most people.


I’m running because waiting is no longer an option for me. These aren’t isolated problems, they’re structural failures affecting housing, healthcare, wages, and democratic accountability. Avoiding instability requires leadership willing to confront that reality honestly and act before crisis becomes unavoidable.


This campaign is focused on elevating the most urgent national challenges and the real concerns of California’s 36th Congressional District with clear, honest arguments grounded in reality.


Anything you can give helps move this forward.
