Kamala Harris now has a Repub running against her for the Senate

Kamala Harris for Senate


Friend,

I have an important race update to give you.

A Republican millionaire made a last-minute decision to officially enter the California Senate race -- just as the deadline to file closed.

Now that we have an additional opponent, the stakes are even higher. People will be paying close attention to our FEC fundraising numbers.

The deadline for our first big FEC goal of the election year is in 8 days. We’re off to a good start, but our grassroots team has to be ready for anything. You can help us hit $50,000 with a $5 or $10 contribution.

I know $50,000 sounds lofty, but we have a lot of work to do in the coming months. With your continued support we can withstand any challenges that come our way.

Being prepared is what got us this far -- and it’s what will keep us surging ahead in the days to come.

Thank you,

Kamala

As a Californian, I always like to know who I'm voting adamantly against.

Republican Ron Unz enters California U.S. Senate race
March 16, 2016

Ron Unz, the conservative critic of bilingual education who in recent years has championed incrementally increasing the statewide minimum wage, said Wednesday he will enter California’s crowded race for U.S. Senate.

Unz, a candidate for governor against fellow Republican Pete Wilson in 1994, said his chief motivation for mounting the uphill challenge is to help raise awareness about a fall ballot measure that would largely overturn his voter-approved Proposition 227, the 1998 initiative requiring schools to teach in English.

“Believe me, this was a last-minute decision,” Unz said by phone. He plans an unorthodox campaign in which he will ask donors to contribute no more than $99. “I never considered getting back into California politics.”

But the fact that GOP lawmakers joined their Democratic colleagues in voting to place the repeal before voters “just shows how worthless the Republicans are,” said Unz, adding he has a pro-immigrant background. The Legislature’s action two years ago was “just the sort of total idiocy that explains the disgust most voters have with the establishment politicians of both parties.”
