John,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your support throughout my campaign. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning in 2021, or were a more recent supporter in 2024, I’m sincerely grateful to you for standing with us.

People often asked me why I first ran for Congress. The answer was simple: the people who enabled the attack on the United States Capitol do not deserve to work inside of the building. I still hold that view today. 

After the disappointing results in this election, it’s tempting to want to throw your hands up in the air and walk away. Trust me, I get it. But the truth is that now we must work harder than ever to build community, help our neighbors, and champion Americans who will run for office to build consensus, change minds, and protect the Constitution.

Churchill – one of the greatest defenders of democracy in human history – said it best: "Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts."

More than anything, these two campaigns gave me hope. From the firefighters in Corona to the veterans in Palm Springs, and every supporter and Patriot in between, you all gave me hope. Hope that we can turn the page from the chaos era and build a better Inland Empire and Coachella Valley where everyone gets a fair shot and no one is left behind. Hope that our collective courage to continue can and will make politics better for the next generation. 

Thank you to everyone who cast a vote for me, made a donation to the campaign, and volunteered their time and energy. 

Thank you to my family who sacrificed and allowed me to take three years of my life to run for Congress (twice), especially my mom Lynn and my partner Paolo.

These campaigns have been the honor of a lifetime, and I’ll never regret stepping into the arena. 

Wishing you and your families a Happy Thanksgiving.

Onward,

Will Rollins
