In California’s 3rd, Dangerous GOP Extremists Take Center Stage

The fringe is taking center stage in the GOP primary for California's 3rd congressional district. With Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones' campaign announcement today, Big Lie proponent Kevin Kiley has company in the competition for most extreme GOP candidate.

During his tenure as sheriff, Jones wracked up lawsuits spanning from civil liberties violations to allegations of sexual harassment that ledto taxpayers paying $3.6 million in damages. Like Kiley, Jones opposes life-saving policies to stop the spreadof COVID-19. Between Jones and Kiley, the race for CA-03's GOP nominee is quickly becoming an all out sprint to the right.

DCCC Spokesperson Maddy Mundy

"The voters of CA-03 deserve elected officials who will represent their interests, not parrot conspiracy and right-wing talking points. The good news is Californians rejected failed candidates Kevin Kiley and Scott Jones before. In 2022, voters will reject these dangerous extremists once again."
