CONGRESSMAN LIEU RAISES MORE THAN $600,000 FOR 8 CALIFORNIA HOUSE CANDIDATES IN 24 HOURS
Los Angeles, CA – Today, Congressman Ted Lieu announced that the California Candidates Victory Fund has raised more than $600,000 in less than 24 hours. Lieu created the joint committee to support the eight most flippable House races in California. The funds were raised through two back-to-back events in Lieu's district.
“This is truly the most important midterm election in our lifetime. We must be successful this November in order to put an essential check on the corruption of the Trump Administration, to restore our health care system, and to increase wages” said Lieu.
“The amazing support we have received speaks to how deeply many Americans feel about what is happening in our country. I want to thank Lindsey Buckingham, Dayna Bochco, Billy Ray, Joyce Rey, and many others who supported the Victory Fund. The path to restoring sanity, accountability, and heck, even facts begins with taking back the House of Representatives.”
The next event for the CA Candidates Victory Fund is September 8 in Orange County. The Victory Fund is on track to hit a million dollars this quarter.
The California Candidates Victory Fund supports the following candidates:
Josh Harder CA-10
TJ Cox CA-21
Andrew Janz CA-22
Katie Hill CA-25
Gil Cisneros CA-39
Katie Porter CA-45
Harley Rouda CA-48
Mike Levin CA-49
