About the Campaign
Lauren Babb Tomlinson is a public affairs leader, former union organizer, and working mom running for Congress to deliver results for families being squeezed by rising costs. As Chief Public Affairs Officer for Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, the nation’s largest Planned Parenthood affiliate, she has led major policy, advocacy, and healthcare access efforts across California and Nevada: fighting back against federal cuts, expanding care in rural communities, and protecting reproductive rights during some of the most challenging years in recent history.
This is a new, open district created by Prop 50. This will be a competitive race for Democrats to win back the House. Lauren launched mid-November and raised $100,000 in her first 24 hours. She has received endorsements from CBC PAC, Vote Mama, Vote Protection Project, and Leaders We Deserve.
We are a team of seasoned campaign professionals who are intentionally building an outstanding team that carries Lauren to victory.
