Testimonials

 I am writing in support of John McBride and his pursuit to run for Congress, whom I have personally known since 1989 as a freshman football player at the University of the Pacific. Under his watch, I gained the knowledge, work ethic, and body transformation that helped me tremendously in the transition to be drafted into the NFL and play professional football for seven years after college.Coach McBride has worn many hats and coached at multiple levels. He has obtained a high-level respect for his worth ethic and ability to work with people from many walks of life. He has positively impacted many young men and women, and his desire to do the same in the political arena should be commended.

 John McBride is a man of faith. Additionally, he has been a great trainer and mentor. I have also observed him to be a rock solid husband and father. He also stands on what he says and takes action on what he believes is right for others.

 “John McBride has made a profound impact in the lives of people in the greater San Joaquin area for decades, myself included. Many leaders have knowledge, but John McBride pairs his knowledge with wisdom from many life experiences. He has been a strong influence for myself and so many others over the years, and has played a part in fostering many productive members to society. John’s commitment to the younger generations in our area over the years displays his selflessness and consistency as a person. If you know John McBride, you know that he is running for Congress not for personal gain, but for the coming generations in our area, state, and country.”

 “John McBride is a man of integral character. As an athlete that dreamed of playing Major League Baseball, John helped make that dream a reality. And more importantly, helped me develop Major League character in the process.John’s commitment to me as an athlete was matched, if not doubled, in his commitment to me as a person. He is a man dedicated to his family, faith and his work. He always taught, “To those much is given, much is expected”; and John not only would teach this to his athletes, but he would embody this. He has a code of excellence that he lives by, and also demands from the people that surround him.As an athlete that has had the privilege to train under John McBride and experience him on and off the field, I give my endorsement for John McBride for Congress!!”

 John will be running for Congress in California’s 9th Congressional District. California needs change. They need new leadership. John is an awesome candidate for this position. I am proud of his professionalism. May he do well in this new endeavor.

 John, although it's great to finally see someone willing to wade through the swamp for all the right reasons, I'm not sure you are right for Congress. You have way too much integrity and honesty. Sorry, but I've lost my faith that our wonderful nation can in fact be fixed. But having known you since college, I'll put my faith in you being smart enough and tough enough to make a difference and NOT sell your soul. You'll get a donation from me!

 John is running for Congress in CA! Get ready for a Warrior to run! He’s in Stockton. I “ran” from CA in desperation to escape. He is staying to fight the good fight! So proud! 

Marcia Anderson

 I wholeheartedly endorse John's candidacy as our representative in the U.S. House of Representatives!
