This is the first time I’ve run for office. I may not know politics, but I know my community and I know we deserve a representative in the Sierra who cares.
I’m five generations from the Sierra foothills and understand our issues.
So taking on California’s most conservative member of Congress and a career politician, while rejecting all corporate PAC money, I knew I had an uphill climb.
But I’m good at uphill climbs. I hiked my entire district on the Pacific Crest Trail from Lake Tahoe to Yosemite to Kings Canyon.
They say this is a tough fight, but I’m used to tough fights. I spent more than a decade as a national security strategist, including over a year in Iraq. It’s going to take a lot more than McClintock’s lies, hateful rhetoric, and dark money to deter me.
I was told I wouldn’t stand a chance when I announced my candidacy — Now I’m polling within the margin of error against him.
For nearly two years, I’ve been visiting communities large and small listening to neighbors and local leaders from all political persuasions.
They’re worried about worsening wildfires, losing their health care, and stagnant wages. My opponent is never shy about his opinions on these issues: He doesn’t believe in climate change, said that pre-existing conditions are just “nuisances” he can’t be bothered to care about, and voted to raise taxes on working families.
McClintock is too extreme for California and he’s used his platform to promote hate and division. In a few days, we have a historic opportunity to unseat him.
My team is behind on tonight’s deadline: So I sincerely hope you will make one of the 150 matched donations we need to bring in before midnight.

There a lot of crucial races on the ballot next week. But while State Attorney General’s races don’t always get the most attention, they’re one of the most important.
With the power to sue the Trump administration, Democratic state Attorneys General are on the frontlines of the resistance against President Trump. And as the Attorney General of our nation’s most populous state, Xavier Becerra is leading the charge.
Pitch in $10 right now to make sure Xavier wins on Tuesday.
Hopefully, Democrats will win back Congress on Tuesday, allowing us to stop President Trump’s disastrous legislative agenda.
But even if we succeed, we know President Trump will double down on harmful executive orders that discriminate against our communities and strip away our rights.
Federal agencies will keep trying to roll back Obama-era rules that protect our planet, make health care more affordable and safeguard civil rights.
No matter what happens in Congress, we need strong Democratic Attorney Generals like Xavier who can keep fighting back in court whenever President Trump tries to bypass Congress and attack our families.
Time is running out. Contribute $10 right now to elect Xavier on Tuesday and ensure he can keep fighting for us.
With 5 days to go until Election Day, we’re sharing with you the testimonies of three children’s leaders who have worked with Tony throughout his 20 year career serving youth.
We won’t let the smear campaign against Tony – that’s been disavowed most recently by the ACLU of Northern California – distract us from our goal: come Election Day, we’ll elect the strongest leader for California’s kids.
Read the full letters from these three children’s leaders here.
You can support Tony today too. Every dollar helps us get Tony’s message out to more last-minute voters. Can you chip in a donation today?
With less than a week until Election Day, the nonpartisan political analysis conducted by the University of Virginia Center for Politics UPGRADED the race for CA-21 in TJ’s favor.
This is HUGE, and is no doubt due to the surging momentum we’re seeing on the ground here.
David Valadao is panicking, which is why Paul Ryan’s super PAC is trying to come to his rescue by dumping last-minute money into this race to control the airwaves. We can’t let that stop us. Can you rush a donation NOW to keep the momentum on our side?
From the beginning, this campaign has been built by supporters like you.
Several months ago, many pundits considered this a safe Republican seat, despite Hillary Clinton having won the district in 2016.
Today, David Valadao is more vulnerable than ever. That is why we are asking you to chip in and help us flip this district. We need more than just good headlines and ratings. To win, we need to keep up our incredible ground game to turn out voters across the Central Valley.

I want to thank you for all that you’ve done to support me in my campaign for State Treasurer. It’s hard to believe that we are just a few short days from Election Day, and I couldn’t have made it this far without your support and friendship.
But this fight is far from over; it is absolutely critical that we get out the vote this weekend and on Election Day. If you received a ballot in the mail and have not yet voted, your vote still counts as long as your ballot is signed and postmarked by November 6th. You can also drop off your ballot or vote in person at your polling place, which opens at 7 a.m. and closes at 8 p.m. If you’re in line by 8 p.m., you cannot be turned away from voting.
Please remember to vote and urge your friends and family to do the same, and then join me for an Election Night Watch Dance Party on Tuesday, November 6th, from 6-10 p.m. in San Francisco with the Fingerpuppets! To RSVP or for more details, email Rita@FionaMa.com.
Thank you for your continued support. Hope to see you on November 6th!
Nunes has millions in his campaign war chest and the ear of President Donald Trump.
So why did I decide to take him on and do so without taking a dime of corporate PAC money?
Because my dad always taught me that when you’re in a position to make a difference, you have the obligation to stand up and right that wrong. Nunes has made shutting down the Mueller investigation a key tenant of his campaign. Point blank, he’s put Trump’s interests over our own.
I said enough is enough — so I decided to run against him.
The latest polling has me within striking distance of pulling ahead of him. So if you can, I need you to make a matched donation with the election only a few days away.
When I announced my candidacy I was told I was crazy — that I wouldn’t stand a chance against Nunes.
Now, Nunes is the one who’s scared. He’s launching misleading ads against me, targeting local papers that won’t endorse him, and some of his supporters even went as far as vandalizing one of our campaign offices.
But his attacks and threats won’t scare anyone at Team Janz — This fight is bigger than all of us. Nunes represents the worst in Washington and folks from all sides of the political spectrum are uniting behind our campaign so we can unseat Nunes.
It won’t be easy. It hasn’t been easy. But with your help, it will be possible — and we can win in November.
That only happens if each of you gets involved, chips in what you can, and helps us make history in California’s 22nd Congressional District.
As we get closer to November 6 – Election Day, our team would like to tell you about Dr. Ed’s record on key policy issues he’s taken as an elected official.
On clean energy and environmental protection, he’s championed numerous laws during his 12 years as a State Legislator to benefit our pristine natural resources and the health and well-being of California families.
Endorsed by environmental rights champions former Assemblymember Betsy Butler and former Senator Fran Pavley, he will stand up for our environment.
He supported SB 834 (Jackson) that blocks the Trump Administration’s new push to open up coastal oil drilling, and prohibits new onshore development to support that drilling.
He supported SB 350 and SB 100 that set new 100% targets for clean energy and climate pollution reductions in the electricity sector.
He supported SB 32 (2016) that extended the AB 32 climate targets to 2030 and set more stringent pollution reduction standards.
He voted for AB 617 (2017) that targets local pollution in poor communities and helps reduce asthma and other diseases in kids. This was a major priority of environmental groups and others.
He was the co-author for and voted in support of SB 623, which created a fund to prioritize clean drinking water to families in disadvantaged communities throughout California.

He’s running for Lieutenant Governor to make the California Dream a reality for all families throughout this state. He grew up in the working-class community of La Puente in East Los Angeles. While raising his daughter, he worked my way through college and eventually built a successful small family business providing eye care with his wife, Diane.
As a healthcare provider and State Legislator, he’s spent my career advocating for quality, affordable healthcare and universal coverage for all. He’s also worked closely with advocates to bring down the cost of public higher education and provide one year of free community college. He believes that by bringing equity to both of these areas, Californians will be able to achieve economic security.
In addition, he’s fought Big Tobacco, passing California’s law that increased the smoking age to 21 years old. He’s stood up to Big Oil, supporting our landmark environmental laws and taken on Big Pharma, championing lower prescription drug prices.
He’s proud to be endorsed by over 80 organizations representing working people, including firefighters, teachers and nurses. He has two daughters, Valerie and Jennifer, three grandchildren and numerous grand-pups.
