Hilton's new ad tells Trump-wary Californians "I get it: maybe you hate Trump." In the same interview he called Trump's endorsement "a positive thing" because he'd have "a good relationship with the president." His campaign says it is NOT distancing him from Trump.
A November ballot measure would charge California's 200-plus billionaires a one-time 5% tax to backfill federal health care cuts. Kiley drafted federal legislation to block it after reports that Zuckerberg and Google's founders might leave.
He dropped the R after redistricting made his seat harder, kept caucusing with Republicans, lost his committee seats for a month, and got all three back — plus his subcommittee gavel — from Republican chairs.
In 2021 San Diego County voted 3-2 to start a harm reduction program. Desmond voted no, saying giving out needles still had the appearance of promoting drug abuse. The CDC's own research says the opposite — participants are five times as likely to enter treatment.
In December 2024 San Diego County voted to stop handing people to ICE without a judge's warrant. Desmond was the lone no. Three months later he brought a motion to repeal it, and it failed. He's now the Republican candidate in CA-48.
In June 2020 Gallagher got a Sutter County judge to suspend Newsom's pandemic ballot order, then voted for the law requiring a ballot for every registered voter anyway. He kept suing to limit the governor's emergency powers for another year — and lost at every court above Sutter County.
Gallagher's district contains the town destroyed by the deadliest wildfire in California history. In eleven years in the Legislature he compiled an 11% lifetime environmental score — 0% in 2022, when every one of his recorded votes was against.
Chevron, Valero, Phillips 66, Marathon and PBF all paid Gallagher's California campaigns. His first big floor amendment would have had the federal government study how to 'preempt, repeal, or otherwise mitigate' California's rules on refineries. It failed by four votes.
Within a day of each other, three House Republicans and a group of senators introduced seven resolutions to strip the clean-air rules that 17 states and D.C. rely on. Two Koch-funded groups were quoted cheering in the press release.
