Mark P. Meuser | REPUBLICAN

I would be honored if you would vote for me for both the full term and the partial term for U.S. Senate. Vote for me if you want someone who fights for you rather than special interest. It is time for the politicians to put the people first. I will fight out of control federal spending to rein in inflation. I will fight for American energy independence to lower gas prices. I will fight pro-criminal politicians to make our streets safe again. My only special interest group is you.

Alex Padilla | DEMOCRATIC

I am a proud son of immigrants, a proud son of California, and I am honored to be the first Latino to represent our state in the U.S. Senate. I was born and raised in the proud working-class community of Pacoima. For decades, my father worked as a short-order cook, and my mother cleaned houses. I understand the struggles of working families because I've lived them. I'm fighting in the U.S. Senate to secure a better future for all Californians—from protecting our environment to guaranteeing that the American Dream remains within reach with affordable, quality education, housing, and healthcare. As I work to deliver for Californians, I will continue to champion our values in the Senate, especially as they come under unprecedented attacks. As the Supreme Court unravels reproductive rights, I will fight for protections at the national level to defend safe access to abortion and contraceptive services. And as our children and families continue to live under the threat of gun violence—I will continue to fight for national gun safety reforms that make our communities safer. With voting rights and democracy under assault across the country, I will continue to champion the reforms that made California elections the most inclusive in the nation—reforms which I impleneted as California Secretary of State. I'm ready to continue fighting for the people of California and for the future of our democracy. I respectfully ask for your support.
