Robert Lee Ahn For Congress was the official website for Robert Lee Ahn's campaign in the 2017 special election for California's 34th Congressional District. The district, located in the southern portion of the state, encompasses diverse communities such as Koreatown, Chinatown, Little Tokyo, and downtown Los Angeles. Ahn, a former Los Angeles city planning commissioner and attorney, competed against Democrat Jimmy Gomez in the runoff election, ultimately losing by a significant margin.
The campaign saw Ahn raise funds through individual contributions and a personal loan, while Gomez received substantial support from political action committees (PACs) and outside spending groups. Both candidates garnered endorsements from various politicians and organizations, with Gomez benefiting from the backing of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and labor unions, while Ahn received support from former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan and former California GOP Chairman Shawn Steel. Throughout the campaign, both candidates heavily relied on mailers and other forms of advertising to reach voters in the district.
