U.S. Representative

Josh Harder

Democrat - California

After a successful business career, Josh Harder ran in 2018 to protect healthcare coverage for people with pre-existing conditions, like his adopted brother, who had spent the hospital when he was born prematurely. Harder’s parents were left with a $2 million medical bill and were only able to pay because his dad had good insurance. Harder is a strong advocate for protecting the environment, fighting corruption, and ensuring public safety, having introduced a Bipartisan Bill to Crack Down on Drug Trafficking.
