The Two-Party System Isn’t Serving CA-34 — That’s Why I’m Running Independent

Both parties have failed working people. I’m not running to fix a broken system — I’m running to build one that serves us.

Both Parties Failed Working People — It’s Time We Took the Power Back

I’m Loren Collin.

I’m running for Congress in California’s 34th District in Los Angeles because both parties have failed working people — and it’s time we took the power back.

I’m not running to “fix” the system. The current system wasn’t made for us.
I’m running to help build one that is.

A system where your taxes don’t disappear into billionaire tax breaks — but come back as healthcare, housing, and great schools.

A system where our immigrant neighbors aren’t hunted by ICE while Democrats and Republicans keep voting to expand it — but are finally given what they’ve earned: a path to citizenship that is dignified, humane, and based on our shared ideals.

A system where healthcare isn’t a privilege you pray you can afford — but a guarantee because you’re human. Period.

Because what we have now isn’t freedom.

For too many working people in our district, life is lived in fear and lived in debt. It’s the denial of the American dream we were all promised.

But we in California’s 34th deserve more than survival.

We deserve more than the scraps of the elites running the show. We deserve dignity in our work, stability in our lives, and power over our future.

And we deserve a leader who will stand with constituents on the most important issues — and not falter to party and corporate interests year after year.

Let me say this clearly: the ideas I’m fighting for aren’t radical.
What’s radical is letting working people suffer while Washington insiders look the other way.

I want every person in this district — every worker, business owner, immigrant, renter, mother, vendor, student, and grandparent — to have healthcare, housing, safety, and the dignity they’ve earned as a human being.

Here’s what that looks like:

End the cruelty. Build a humane system.

That means abolishing ICE and replacing it with a new naturalization agency that processes all 12 million undocumented immigrants with legal residency within two years, staffed by 10,000 new administrative judges.

Guarantee healthcare — because you’re human.

Health care for all: taxpayer-funded, comprehensive, and free at point of care.
Scrap private insurance and medical bankruptcies. Guarantee care because you’re human.

Take back the wealth being stolen from working people.

A new tax code where the first $100,000 you earn is taxed at 0%, and every dollar over $100,000 is taxed the same — whether it’s from wages, stocks, inheritance, or rent.

No loopholes. No shelters. No more free rides for the ultra-rich.

Because wealth hoarding isn’t a strategy that helps the working class.

It’s outright theft.

And it’s time to take that wealth back — and invest it in the people who actually build this country.

If you’re in CA-34 and you’re done being told to settle for less, I’m asking you to join this movement. Share this. Subscribe. Talk to your neighbors. And when the time comes — vote like your future depends on it.
