John Rose

John Rose | DEMOCRATIC

Money is not speech and corporations are not people. As we approach America's 250th Anniversary, politicians divide us and get millions in donations. It's time to end the corrosive influence of money in politics and put power back into the hands of the people. Every 50 years we've amended the Constitution to strengthen democracy—granting voting rights to eighteen-year-olds in the 1970's, to women in the 1920's, and all races in the 1870's. A new amendment stating that Constitutional rights belong to natural persons, not corporations, will restore bipartisan campaign finance reform. Your vote for John Rose supports change.

Mark Ruzon

Mark Ruzon | NO QUALIFIED PARTY PREFERENCE

The American Solidarity Party nominated me to bring a message of hope in troubling times: everyone has intrinsic value regardless of age or stage of life. Life is beautiful; this is non-negotiable. Families are the fundamental unit of society; we strongly support parents, economically and socially, in nurturing their children. The State should serve families' needs, not overrule their parenting decisions. Our healthcare system should cover everyone, and coverage shouldn't disappear if a pandemic strikes. We all require decent housing if we are to flourish. Government must address how businesses and neighborhoods can meet the needs of all Californians. We call for a wider distribution of resources and opportunities in our economy through tax policies and worker protections. We support strong communities, peaceful international relations, and religious freedom. We should welcome immigrants at legal entry points and discourage trafficking through border security. Vote Mark Ruzon for Senator. Join us: solidarity-party.org

Steve Garvey

Steve Garvey | REPUBLICAN

From the moment I came to California 50 years ago, it was home. For 20 years, I played for the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres. When I took the field, I played for all the fans. Everyone was equal. Politics, race, sexual orientation, gender, and background didn't divide us—they brought us together. California used to be the heartbeat of America, now it's just a murmur. Today, career politicians put special interests ahead of you and your family's well-being. Instead of housing, we have out-of-control homelessness. Instead of safe neighborhoods, there's violent crime. Instead of affordability, we have record inflation, and too many Californians can't afford rent, groceries, and gas. That's not the California we love. You deserve better, your family deserves better, so let's work together. I am getting back in the game to fight for you and our state. I will bring a fresh perspective to Washington D.C. I will be your voice, choosing common sense over tired old politics. We will reduce homelessness by addressing mental health, drug addiction, and housing affordability. We will work with law enforcement to make our neighborhoods safe, protect our schools, and hold criminals responsible. We will lower inflation so every dollar goes towards supporting your family. We will provide our children with the best education. Politicians have failed us. I won't. When Californians join together, anything is possible. I lived my dream, and you deserve to live yours. As your Senator, I will fight for your and California's future.

Katie Porter

Katie Porter | DEMOCRATIC

In Washington, powerful special interests have too much control, while Congress bogs down with endless partisan battles. The result? California's real challenges, from affordable housing to the climate crisis, don't get solved. They're ignored or made even worse. After years of speaking truth to power as a consumer protection attorney, I was elected to Congress in 2018. I don't "do Congress" like lifelong politicians and Washington insiders. I'm running to be your U.S. Senator to unrig the system. l'm one of the few in Congress who has never taken corporate PAC money—not one penny. I'm one of just 11 out of 435 Members of Congress who refuse campaign contributions from federal lobbyists. Instead, I'm leading the fight to ban Members of Congress from trading stocks. Whether it's Big Banks, Big Pharma, or Big Oil, I won't stand for corporate special interests lying to or ripping off Californians. I call them out and hold them accountable. I've been called “a watchdog,” “the leadership we desperately need,” and “Congress' toughest questioner.” Often using a whiteboard, I've successfully exposed corporate greed and cut through bureaucratic doublespeak to deliver results. I'm a single mom of three kids attending California public schools. As Senator, my priorities will be yours: Making life in California more affordable. Reducing housing costs. Combating climate change. Protecting reproductive rights. And ensuring good, high-paying California jobs. Learn more at KatiePorter.com. Let's shake up the Senate and solve our real problems. I'd be honored to earn your vote.

Perry Pound

Perry Pound | DEMOCRATIC

America needs a new generation of leadership, not focused on moving left or right, but forward. The challenges we face are critical, but not insurmountable. As an entrepreneur, I'm motivated to solve problems, not just talk about them. I have the courage to confront obstacles, humility to seek bipartisan solutions, and wisdom to think differently. My wife and I are raising our daughter here in the Golden State, inspired by its innovative spirit, which I'll bring to the role of US Senator. I've generated thousands of good paying jobs and directed billions of dollars into the California economy through sustainable real estate and technology investments. These projects have created homes and hope, supporting communities with essential resources. My goals aren't defined by business success alone; they're shaped by a commitment to public service. Recognized as one of California's Top 100 Public Policy Leaders, I always put community needs first. To solve our problems, we must reform the Senate to serve the people. I'll fight to end the unconstitutional filibuster, push for term limits, and champion campaign finance reform. Then we can address the real issues: crippling inflation, homelessness, education, women's rights, the looming environmental catastrophe, lack of affordable healthcare, and the dire need for public safety. Share your concerns and priorities with me at ideas@perrypound.com. I'll fight for our values and ensure that your voice is heard and your needs are met. Vote Perry Pound for Senate, and together we can build a better world.

Christina Pascucci

Christina Pascucci | DEMOCRATIC

As a native Californian and Emmy-award winning local journalist, I have championed the truth, exposed corruption, and held the powerful accountable. In my reporting, I have met small business owners who lost hope after losing their livelihood in the pandemic, spent time in the homeless encampments that plague our cities, and comforted countless crime victims. My investigative reporting revealed that LA officials were squandering millions of gallons of water amid the state's most severe drought, leading to changes in their policies. I have also gone undercover with the LAPD to combat human trafficking. I'm a tireless advocate for mental health awareness and unhoused families. I believe an improved youth foster system is key to fighting homelessness, as these neglected children make up half of the unhoused population. I also fought to pass bipartisan legislation to support unhoused families. I'm a licensed pilot and member of the LA County Aviation Commission where I help oversee a multi-million dollar budget covering some of the state's largest airports. I have spent my career talking to people from all walks of life, all political stripes, and all economic backgrounds. We have discovered what we share and what we value. I believe that our country needs a fresh perspective and a bold vision to tackle the challenges we face. I would be grateful to have your support for U.S. Senate.

Notice of Errata Regarding Ballot Designation

Eric Early

Eric Early | REPUBLICAN

Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago? The career politicians in DC have brought us a world of hurt. I'm no career politician. I'm a husband, father and successful small business owner. I am proud to be supported by great California Republican organizations and their members, including the California Republican Assembly, numerous County Republican Central Committees and the College Republicans of America. Long ago, I worked on the "GI Joe", "Jem" and "Transformers" TV series, putting myself through law school at night. I've been a fighter my entire career, to support my family while attending night school, and then to create one of California's top law firms. California needs a fighter in DC. As your next US Senator, I will fight for you and all Forgotten Americans. We must send the military to the border to end illegal immigration and Fentanyl trafficking; stop reckless spending causing inflation; protect our 2nd Amendment rights; make America energy independent; root out the internal Marxist threat to our nation; stop schools indoctrinating children about gender fluidity and America hatred; rid women's sports of biological males; prevent violent criminals from walking free; end the Ukraine war; stand for Israel against terror; and investigate a Justice Department weaponized to destroy our former President. America is exceptional. With courage and belief in God, America will prevail in this battle of good versus evil. I respectfully ask for your vote so I can fight for you and put America first.

Adam B. Schiff

Adam B. Schiff | DEMOCRATIC

Adam Schiff has always taken on the toughest fights to get things done for California. He's running for the U.S. Senate to continue delivering real results for Californians—making housing more affordable, lowering costs, protecting the planet, protecting abortion access, and building an economy that works for everyone, especially working families. From the courtroom to Congress, Adam took on the biggest bullies—drug companies, polluters, and drug cartels—and won. He has passed dozens of laws to lower prescription drug costs, expand public transit, create jobs, get people off the street, build the earthquake early warning system, and establish California's Patients Bill of Rights. And when our democracy was under assault by a dangerous president, Adam investigated, impeached and held him accountable for insurrection to protect our rights and freedoms, which are still under threat. Adam has a real record of results because he's willing to work with anyone to get things done—Democrats, Republicans and Independents. That's why hundreds of California elected officials and nine statewide labor unions have endorsed Adam's campaign. They know he'll always stand up for working families, and against special interests. Adam grew up in the Bay Area, working summers in his dad's lumber yard and as a seasonal firefighter to help pay for school. After law school, he settled in Southern California. Adam has been married to Eve (yes, they've heard all the jokes) for 28 years. They have two wonderful kids, Lexi and Eli. Visit www.AdamSchiff.com to learn more.

Barbara Lee

Barbara Lee | DEMOCRATIC

Californians are struggling. Now more than ever, you deserve an experienced Senator who has delivered real progressive change. As a teenager, I joined forces with the NAACP to integrate my female cheer squad at San Fernando High School. I escaped an abusive marriage and raised two sons on public assistance. With a graduate degree in social work, I opened a community mental health center to help those in need. As a legislator and Congresswoman, I increased penalties on people who block access to abortion clinics, and wrote California's first Violence Against Women Act. I expanded affordable housing and childcare, and fought to lift families out of poverty. I secured billions for HIV/AIDS that has saved 25 million lives around the world. I fought against voter suppression measures and, as lead plaintiff in the NAACP's lawsuit, I held Trump accountable for the January 6th riots. I was the only member of Congress to vote against the war in Afghanistan, the only candidate in this race to vote against the Iraq War, and the first to call for a ceasefire in the Middle East. I understand the struggles Californians face because I've lived them too. That's why I'll fight to protect reproductive freedom, deliver affordable housing and middle-class tax cuts, combat the climate crisis, and fight to protect our democracy. As a Black woman and accomplished legislator, I'll bring a much-needed voice to the Senate. Your fight will be my fight, and we will win together. Thank you for your consideration and your vote.
