I recorded Vice Chair Dan Weitzman have a meltdown over the fact he didn't complete a form to be considered for the the en...

Here is the SFGate article I reference in this episode. Cake, from Sacramento, held a fundraiser before their Sunday night concert for both Mai Vang and Effie Phillips Staley (who is from Sacramento but running for Congress in New York where she's been living against Republican Mike Lawler). Note though that in California, we have jungle primaries where the top two vote getters will advance, but in New York, they still have Democratic primaries.

Hello, fans and stalkers! For now, we are going AUDIO ONLY! When I conduct interviews, I'll go back to video but this way, I will record more frequently. That is the plan, anyway! In this episode, I share my experience today at the Democratic Party of Sacramento County's retreat sharing what it was like as a candidate facing a negative reaction to challenging an entrenched Democrat who happens to be part of a political dynasty, and why I essentially tell other candidates to avoid most of thes...

Nancy Pelosi crashed the endorsement debate caucus between her bestie Congresswoman Doris Matsui (who cannot earn the endorsement on her own anymore) and the lone progressive on Sacramento's City Council, Mai Vang, who's endorsed by Justice Democrats, Our Revolution, the California Working Families Party, and more. Not even The Sacramento Bee noticed TWO OTHER DEMOCRATIC HOUSE LEADERS were there-- Rep. Pete Aguilar and Rep. Zoe Lofgren. I confronted both of them and shared how much constituen...

Progressive Ericka Kopp sat down with me all the way from Virginia to discuss her race to unseat MAGA Republican Rob Wittman who's been in office for decades. He voted FOR the Big Beautiful Bill and even voted to declare "life begins at conception"-- one of those. Kopp decided to run because with her compelling background as a healthcare lawyer and lived experience as a caregiver, knew she would be a better representative than the incumbent. Discover the power of Eri(ck)as in America running...
