Hilton is running full-page ads asking Californians wary of Trump to look past it. A year earlier he was telling Politico about his 'good personal relationships' with Trump's cabinet and pitching himself as California's channel to the administration.
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 it 'has 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 nominee for CA-48.
In 2020 Newsom ordered a ballot mailed to every registered California voter so nobody had to choose between their health and their vote. Gallagher sued, calling it an 'illegal power grab.' He won at trial and lost on appeal — and has run on it ever since.

On the same day, 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.
