It’s now or never! If CA40 can unite tomorrow to retire Young Kim or Ken Calvert we will be poised to flip this seat blue. They say it can’t be don’t but the incredible Jane Kim joined my Town Hall today to explain why that attitude is unacceptable! We must win CA40 and we will! See you tomorrow.

I got in to this race on a mission to get Young Kim out of our Congress. CA40 voter @suggestedarticles gets why: “#YoungKim is a tremendous piece of 💩, so I’Il toss a vote into the hat for @EstherforCongress” Y’all HAVE to watch this TikTok 🔁😂

I'm a mom, and I DEMAND ACTION on gun control! @NRA, the rumors are true: in Congress, I will fight to ban assault weapons and implement universal background checks. Both are just common sense first steps.

Proud to be endorsed by Congresswoman Grace Meng (NY-06)! A fellow working mother, she knows what it feels like to juggle life and work all the while breaking glass ceilings. A proven advocate for working families, reproductive freedom, and immigrant communities, not just during election season.

There is a CA40Dem candidate (SWIPE) making unhinged videos that I am somehow manipulating the betting markets on this race. She’s trending at 2.6%, and I think that is called being a sore loser. Thank you to my homegirl @drlesliedobson for sticking up for me !!!

Tonight's voter "fan mail" is short but sweet. This one made me choke up, you'll see why. "My retirement check came a day early, so I sent you a small donation today. You are exactly the person I want in Congress! Keep up the great work, we have faith! 🌊🌊🌊🌊"

Running it back to where this all started. We made this video before Prop 50. Before Ken Calvert left his own district to come fight Young Kim for this one. Before CA-40 became the only race in the entire country where 2 (Trump-owned) Republican incumbents are fighting each other for the same seat.

Esther Kim-Varet @e-stherforcongress.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

Just got back from evening door knocking with a great group of volunteers and my field team! Several Republicans as well as most Dems whose doors I knocked said they've already voted for me.

Weak Dems are still operating like it’s the Obama years. Supporting Jill Stein candidates, like Janet and Barbara at @canyondems.bsky.social If you can’t handle my energy, I’m pretty sure you don’t have what it takes to fight Trump and authoritarians in going into the midterms.

OK who leaked this to the Riverside Republicans?! Lol Eyes on the prize everyone! The GOP has it straight: the prize is the House gavel! Vote to WIN not to whine. It’s now or it is never!

A sitting President says he wants to be a king. Members of Congress trade stocks on intel the rest of us cannot see. SCOTUS justices accept luxury vacations from people with cases before them. America has NO KINGS, and Congress has NO EXCUSES. 1/10

A family in Murrieta today needs two incomes and a side hustle to live like their parents lived on one paycheck. That is an intentional bait and switch, a Congressional con that rewards shareholder returns at the expense of working families. 1/9

Esther Kim-Varet @e-stherforcongress.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

If you make $50,000 a year in Murrieta you pay about 12% of it in federal income tax. If you make $50 million you can pay almost nothing. Same Congress. Same country. Different rules. That is what we are voting to change. 1/7
