SACRAMENTO, CA — Congressman Adam Gray (CA-13), a Democrat who won one of the most competitive races in the country by just 187 votes, announces his endorsement of Sacramento County District Attorney Thien Ho in the race for California’s 6th Congressional District.

“Thien Ho is the kind of leader voters are looking for right now - practical, steady, and focused on results,” Gray said.  “I won my race by 187 votes. Every single one of them mattered, and I earned them by showing up for Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. Thien Ho is built the same way. He's not an ideologue. He's a results-driven public servant with nearly 30 years of experience protecting families and holding people accountable as a prosecutor. That record resonates across party lines. As District Attorney, he’s built a reputation for taking a balanced approach to public safety, focused on keeping our communities safe and holding offenders accountable. That’s not always the easy path, but it’s the right one, and it’s how you earn trust. I’m proud to endorse Thien because I know he has the judgment and work ethic to represent his district effectively and deliver for the people he serves.”

“I’m honored to have Congressman Gray’s support,” said Ho. “He knows firsthand what it takes to win and govern in a competitive district, and I deeply respect his commitment to putting constituents over politics. I intend to bring that same mentality to Congress, staying connected to this community and never taking a single voter for granted. That’s exactly the approach I’ve taken as District Attorney, and it’s how I’ll serve in Congress”.

Ho has earned the backing of a growing coalition of leaders from across the region, including Sacramento County Sheriff Jim Cooper, State Treasurer Fiona Ma, Congressman Derek Tran, Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty, Assemblymembers Stephanie Nguyen and Maggy Krell, and Sacramento County Supervisors Rich Desmond and Patrick Kennedy. This diverse group is united by a shared belief in Ho’s ability to lead with balance and a focus on delivering real results for the community.
