Arthur Dixon’s Campaign Story

My name is Arthur Dixon, and I’m running for Congress in California’s 34th District in 2026 because I’ve lived the struggles too many of us face every day in Los Angeles—poverty, homelessness, and a system that feels stacked against working families. Born in 1996, I was adopted at age two and raised by a single mother who juggled cleaning homes, cooking, and teaching just to keep us going. We were a working-class family, but stability was never guaranteed. I’ve slept in a car on LA’s streets, wondering where my next meal would come from. That’s not a story I tell for pity—it’s the fire behind why I’m running. I know what it’s like to fight to survive, and I’m here to make sure no one else has to face those battles alone.

Growing up, education was my way out, but even that came with roadblocks. I attended American University and Harvard Extension School, only to drop out when tuition costs became unbearable. That experience drives my fight for accessible education today. After years as a community organizer, advocating for environmental, social, and economic justice, I’m stepping up at 30 to bring bold, progressive change to Congress. This isn’t just a campaign—it’s personal. I’ve seen poverty climb and food insecurity hit my neighbors hard, and I’ve asked myself, “Who’s really being served here?” My answer: not us, not yet. That’s why I’m running—to deliver solutions that lift up every family in LA.

Why Should You Contribute?

This campaign is for the people of Los Angeles, built from the ground up with no corporate PAC money—just small-dollar donations from folks like you. Your contributions will fund voter outreach, community events, and town halls across the 34th District, amplifying our shared vision of “Bold Progressive Change.” Every dollar helps me connect with voters, listen to their stories, and fight for the policies we need. By pitching in, you’re backing someone who’s walked the same streets, faced the same struggles, and won’t stop until working families and underserved communities get the representation they deserve in Congress.

My Top Issues

My platform tackles the biggest challenges facing LA—poverty and job insecurity—head-on, shaped by my own life:

  • Universal Basic Income (UBI): I’m a strong advocate for UBI, emphasizing its ability to reduce poverty and improve public health. I’ve cited studies showing that UBI can lower hospital admissions by nearly 10% and ease the financial burden of healthcare, which ties directly into my focus on economic justice.

  • Guaranteed Housing: My commitment to addressing poverty and housing insecurity, especially in a district like LA with a severe housing crisis, makes this a cornerstone of my platform. It aligns with my broader goal of ensuring economic stability for my constituents.

  • Green New Deal (GND): As a progressive, I support the GND’s vision of environmental sustainability and green job creation. This policy resonates with both the climate challenges and economic needs of our district.

  • Universal Healthcare: My platform includes support for universal healthcare, ensuring coverage for all and reducing financial strain on families—another key piece of my economic justice agenda.

  • Education Reform: Free K-12 and college education to break down barriers, inspired by my own struggles with tuition costs.

  • Criminal Justice Reform: Addressing systemic inequities to create a fairer justice system.

  • Support for Immigrant Rights and Housing Protections: Reflecting my belief that government should prioritize people over profits.

These issues are interconnected—economic justice can’t exist without healthcare, education, and a planet we can all thrive on.

My Resume
  • Education: Attended American University and Harvard Extension School (left due to financial constraints).

  • Experience: Community organizer in Los Angeles, advocating for progressive causes in environmental, social, and economic justice.

  • Personal: Born 1996, adopted at age two, raised in a working-class household by a single mother in LA; experienced homelessness.

Join the Movement

From the streets of LA to the halls of Congress, I’m running to transform our community with grit and purpose. Join me in 2026—let’s build a future where no one’s left wondering if they’ll make it through the day.

Every Political Issue I Stand For

Beyond my core platform, I’m committed to a future where survival is a right, not a privilege. That means universal basic income to give people breathing room, criminal justice reform to end systemic inequities, and immigration policies that honor our city’s diversity. I support LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive freedom, and voting access for all. On the global stage, I’ll push for peace, fair trade, and climate cooperation. Every policy I back comes from one question: does it help the people who’ve been left behind? That’s my compass.
