John Minnella

Candidate for US Congress

40+ years significant local, federal and foreign government experience. Strong, principled, clear, consistent, honest, conservative, patriotic, and dedicated to school choice and parental education control, the US Constitution, Judeo-Christian values and conservative Republican principles.

The Leadership CA39 Needs

Not only is John a pillar and leader in his community, he’s also married with 6 Children, 2 Grandchildren, 5 Godchildren… and with your help can be the next congressman for 760,000 GREAT people of California’s 39TH Congressional District.

A Vision For The Future

Like you, I too am worried about the direction our country is being led in by many in Washington who do not share, appreciate, defend and reflect our American values and do not respect our Constitution. I entered this election race to add one more rational voice in Congress before it is too late and before the transformation of our society and government is irreversible.
