Brandon’s statement on today's attack. Our hearts are with the victims, their families, and the San Diego Muslim community.

ICYMI📺: Check out our FIRST TV AD of the campaign! We need someone who understands the economy, not just how to talk about it. That’s why we’re taking our message to the airwaves and showing voters that change is possible, but it starts with who we elect to represent us.

This isn’t law enforcement. It’s a political stunt. Brandon’s full statement on Sheriff Bianco’s seizure of 650,000 certified ballots.

In 1968, the S&P was at 103 and minimum wage was $3,200/year. On March 9th, 2026, the S&P closed at 6,795. If wages kept pace, minimum wage would be at $209,000. It's time to send a trained economist to Congress. #ca48 #affordabilitycrisis

Around 4.5 million Irish arrived to the US between 1820 and 1930 to flee oppression and famine. Happy St. Patricks Day anyone who had family come to America.🍀

Having a Federal Reserve that isn't influenced by the president's political whims is vital to a healthy economy. It's like eating your vegetables; we can't eat cake for every meal.

Brandon’s Statement on the horrific attack in Michigan:

Read Brandon’s statement on Issa’s expected retirement:

[Brandon Riker for Congress @Riker4Congress]

Trump’s tariffs are a hidden tax on working families. Prices are up, jobs are at risk, rent and home ownership unaffordable. The Supreme Court was right to limit this overreach. Proud to have ILWU’s endorsement in this fight

[Brandon Riker for Congress @Riker4Congress]

Californians stood up when Trump tried to steal our congressional seats. Now let’s finish the job and replace Darrell Issa with a representative who actually lives in CA-48 and puts our community first.

[Brandon Riker for Congress @Riker4Congress]

Federal immigration enforcement is now a weapon. Americans are dead in the streets. This violence was predictable and preventable. We need accountability in the courts, and leaders who value human life over unchecked power.

[Brandon Riker for Congress @Riker4Congress]

Trump broke the economy with tariffs and billionaire giveaways. Now he wants the Fed too.

[Brandon Riker for Congress @Riker4Congress]

Masked federal agents should not be creating terror in our cities. Darrell Issa voted to increase ICE’s budget by $75B with no accountability. That has to change. Read Brandon’s full statement.

[Brandon Riker for Congress @Riker4Congress]

Both parties must demand accountability now.

[Brandon Riker for Congress @Riker4Congress]

Volunteer powered 🧡

We’ve held 80+ community meetings and 4 town halls because we believe representation means actually listening.

[Brandon Riker for Congress @Riker4Congress]

Washington is broken. Time to send leaders who actually stand up for working people.

Brandon joined volunteers at a local food bank - a lifeline for 150,000 people each month across the region.

With SNAP cuts, they’re making up for the equivalent of $10 million lost in food assistance.

No one in California’s 48th District should go hungry.

I’m a 4th-generation Californian, business owner, trained economist, and fmr Obama staffer, running to unseat Issa and represent CA-48. It's time to send a trained economist to Congress who actually knows how to lower costs and raise wages. Join me. #Prop50
