TJ Adams-Falconer is a progressive Democrat and a proud Diamond Bar native running to represent California’s 38th Congressional District. With over a decade of experience in public service, from advising President Obama to leading communications on Capitol Hill, TJ is combining a national leadership perspective with his hometown roots to organize a campaign for a bold new progressive agenda.

A gay man raised by a single mother and shaped by the strength of his two younger sisters, TJ’s commitment to equity and shared opportunity runs deep. His family’s journey fuels his passion for service and reminds him daily why representation matters.
 

The time is now for a new generation of leaders in Congress who are willing to use their full platforms to not only take on the evolving threat of the MAGA movement, but to deliver meaningful change for those who simply cannot keep up with an entire economic system that's tilted against them.


TJ is stepping up to lead the community that raised him with bold ideas, lived experience, and a clear mission: to put up the fight working families deserve.

TJ's LEGISLATIVE Priorities

1) MAKE LIFE MORE AFFORDABLE

Prices keep rising, but paychecks are staying flat. I plan to take bold action to deliver meaningful and immediate relief to struggling Americans, including:

  • Raising take-home pay for 90% of Americans by slashing federal taxes for households earning under $5 million per year. We’ll eliminate income taxes on the first $75,000 of earnings and impose a Billionaire Minimum Tax to close loopholes that let the ultra-rich dodge paying their fair share.

  • Making property and rent more affordable by incentivizing new housing development so our communities have enough physical homes to ensure everyone has access to a safe, affordable place to call their own.

  • Protecting Social Security as the bedrock of retirement security, ensuring it’s sustainable for today’s workers and tomorrow’s retirees.

 
2) END THE ABUSES IN OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM

Masked raids and dragnet arrests are the exact opposite of law & order. We'll rein in federal law enforcement by:

  • Halting the unconstitutional ICE raids—and impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem for ordering them.

  • Reintroduce the bipartisan immigration bill that Trump killed in February 2024. Let's work across the aisle to pass it to restore order, fairness, and humanity. It won’t fix everything overnight, but it’s a real step forward.

  • Building a new immigration framework rooted in American values—one that’s humane, efficient, and honors the dream of those who seek a better life here.

3) ENFORCE THE CONSTITUTION & FEDERAL LAW

Sunlight, subpoenas, and consequences-- that's how we'll restore trust in government. We must:

  • Put a stop to the blatant corruption. If you’re using public office to enrich yourself, I’ll haul you before Congress and expose every dirty deal. Abuse your office, and we’ll make sure you pay—through audits, fines, or jail time.

  • Fully wield congressional subpoena power and use it without flinching to pursue a wide range of investigations of the lawless Trump Administration. Impeachments, claw-backs, and criminal referrals will keep every official honest—Democrat and Republican.

  • Deliver federal transparency we can actually see through. Every government contract, visitor log, and travel receipt should be posted online in real time. When taxpayers have a live view of their government, we can see for ourselves when something doesn’t quite add up.

4) GIVE YOUNG AMERICANS A FAIR SHOT
Gen Z and Millennials deserve a fair shot at the future they were promised. We will:

  • Guarantee a living wage and portable benefits—including health care, retirement, and paid leave—so full-time work means financial security.

  • Expand debt-free education, boosting Pell Grants, community college, and apprenticeship programs that equip young people for good-paying jobs without crushing debt.

  • Open pathways to homeownership, offering tax credits for first-time buyers and cracking down on speculators who drive up prices.

5) HEALTHCARE IS A HUMAN RIGHT

Patients first, profits last. I'm committed to:

  • Capping premiums and drug prices in the short-term, and charting a course toward universal coverage that stays with you through every job change.

  • Protecting, expanding, and reclaiming healthcare rights for all Americans-- starting with codifying the protections of Roe v. Wade.

  • Lowering barriers to mental healthcare by expanding virtual and in-person treatment options, and making sure your insurance covers it.

  • Putting patients over profits by banning surprise medical bills, simplifying claims, cutting out middlemen, and holding insurers fully accountable.

6) Remove Money from politics

I’m running to slam the door on big-money influence so Washington finally answers to working people, not the highest bidder. I want to:

  • Shut the door on corporate political influence by banning corporate PACs.

  • End stock-trading and revolving-door lobbying for elected Members of Congress and Cabinet Secretaries.

  • Pass a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United which would let Congress and the states put real limits on anonymous money in politics.

  • Bar Supreme Court justices from taking gifts or paid trips. The highest court must meet the highest ethical standard.
