It’s no wonder the issues of women and families have been on the backburner for decades.
I’ll be frank: Special interests have tried to buy this race, and their plan is working.
Yesterday the LA Times wrote, “Rep. Adam B. Schiff’s campaign strategy of spending millions to highlight Republican Senate candidate Steve Garvey’s conservative record appears to have paid off, making Garvey a strong favorite to emerge from Tuesday’s primary as Schiff’s general election opponent.”
And it’s not just Schiff who has outspent us, as the LA Times also reported: “Porter has also been subjected to roughly $10 million in attack ads from an outside group funded by Silicon Valley billionaires and cryptocurrency investors. That appears to have hurt her standing among voters.”
Steve Garvey has not run a single TV ad on his own, but it’s looking like he might actually come in first in our primary, here in blue California, all thanks to this play by Schiff and these dark money super PACs. Right now, initial turnout numbers show that older, whiter, more conservative voters are turning in the ballots, but other voters are not.
We have just three days until the election, and we’re doing everything we can to pull ahead: meet-and-greets, digital ads, and TV appearances. Anything you can give today will help us in this final most crucial stretch.
