Honoring John Vigna: Support for Archer and Causes

John Garrett Vigna tragically passed away on April 29th, 2024. John had a long and successful career in the Capitol and in the Democratic Party. He spent a career fighting for workers and the underdog, working for Speaker John A. Pérez, Lorena Gonzalez, Fiona Ma, and the CA Democratic Party. He served as President of the California Young Democrats, the Sac County Dept of Health and Human Services Alcohol and Drug Advisory Board, the City of Sacramento Racial Profiling Commission, was a founding member of the Capitol LGBQT Association, and as well as many other posts. John got to put his crazy trivia knowledge to use as a champion on Jeopardy! both as a one-day champion and as a wildcard quarterfinalist.

While many knew John in his professional capacity, his family and friends will remember the incredible human who had such a welcoming heart. John was a loving son, brother, and friend. His love of animals was a source of joy and serenity throughout his life, especially his time with his beloved dog Archer.

Some funds from this GoFundMe will go towards services for John, however this fund is primarily for expenses related to the on-going care of his beloved dog, Archer. John and Archer were both hit in the tragic accident, but Archer survived and has medical conditions that require continuous attention. Any remaining funds will go towards non-profits that were helpful or important to John including Front Street Animal Shelter and the Los Angeles LGBTQ Center.
