Mark DeSaulnier has held elected office since 1991. That's 35 years. Nearly 12 of them in Congress: more than 200 bills, two public laws, a post office and a park boundary. That is not a record. That is a career. It was never meant to be a career. Eight-year term limits. Ban members of Congress from trading stocks. Ban the revolving door to lobbying. No budget, no pay. I'm a businessman. I fix things. First thing I fix is Congress. Fire him on November 3.

Mark DeSaulnier filed a transit bill yesterday, 33 days before the election. It creates a task force. The task force writes a memo. That's the bill. It's his fifth transportation bill in ten months, and the other four haven't had a hearing either. Since January 2023 he's filed 71 bills. Not one has moved. Twelve years, two laws, and BART is still a crime scene with a fare gate. Contra Costa keeps sending him back and expecting a different result. Use your head. I'm Jeff Frese, and I'm running against him on November 3. Get him out.
Contra Costa's version is on your ballot right now. Measure RTM, another half cent for fourteen years to bail out a transit system that can't keep people safe on the platform. This is what fifteen years of one party in every office buys you: higher taxes, worse streets, and a congressman, Mark DeSaulnier, who sits on four transportation subcommittees and got zero bills out of committee last Congress. They don't have a money problem. They have a you problem. I'm Jeff Frese, and I'm running against him on November 3.
Steve's right, and the machine has a Contra Costa branch office. Mark DeSaulnier has been inside it since 1991: Concord council, county supervisor, Assembly, state Senate, Congress. Thirty-five years of telling you what to drive, what to pay and how to sort your trash, and twelve of them in Washington with two laws to show for it. The nanny state didn't happen to California. People like DeSaulnier built it one vote at a time. I'm Jeff Frese, and I'm firing him on November 3.
Toothpaste behind plexiglass is what fifteen years of one-party rule looks like up close. Nobody in Sacramento has lost an election over it since 2011, so nobody fixes it. In Washington, Mark DeSaulnier voted no twice on the Laken Riley Act, which 46 Democrats supported and is now law, and no on stopping D.C. from going easier on carjackers, when Biden and 31 Democrats went the other way. Soft on crime from both coasts. I'm Jeff Frese, and I'm running against him on November 3. Welcome to California. Press the red button.
Here's the receipt from Contra Costa California. Mark DeSaulnier sat on the California Air Resources Board, the agency that writes the fuel rules that give us the most expensive gas in America, and he still brags about it. Then he went to Congress and voted no on the one bill titled Lower Energy Costs. Twelve years, two laws, and the only thing he's ever lowered is expectations. I'm Jeff Frese, and I'm running against him on November 3.
Congress can't change a clock because it's full of guys like Mark DeSaulnier. Twelve years in the House, more than 200 bills filed, two laws passed. One renamed a post office. The other moved a park boundary. He'd hold a listening tour on your alarm clock before he'd ever vote on it. I'm Jeff Frese, and I'm running against him in California on November 3. Locking the clock is also a part of my common sense platform. Check it out at https://t.co/9OveRe704W
"Protect student-athletes." Which ones? Not girls. You voted twice to not protect girls sports and girls spaces. April 2023, you voted to let boys play girls' sports. January 2025, same question, same answer. Two Democrats crossed over. You stayed put. You'll protect a girl's brain but not her team, her trophy or her locker room. I coach. I have three daughters. Jeff Frese, running against Mark DeSaulnier November 3.
Every addict swears he's quitting. Mark DeSaulnier, 2017: a $1.5 trillion deficit is reckless. Mark DeSaulnier, 2021: yes on $1.9 trillion, all borrowed. Deficits only count when the other team runs them up. Cut six cents. Start with him. I'm his opponent in California, November 3. Vote Jeff Frese
Sixty-three cents before the engine turns over. Ohio did it. Sacramento won't, because one party has run it since 2011 and never has to ask you. Mark DeSaulnier voted no on the one bill in Congress titled Lower Energy Costs. Maybe he objected to the title. Fire him November 3. Vote Jeff Frese.
"Reached." Not housed. Not treated. Reached. Spam reaches people. Fifteen years of one-party rule and the scoreboard is a verb. Mark DeSaulnier ran three listening tours in one week last month, twelve years into the job. He's reached plenty too. Contra Costa can reach for a new congressman November 3. Vote Jeff Frese
$24 billion, and the state auditor says nobody tracked what it bought. One party has held every office in Sacramento since 2011. That's who lost the receipt. In Contra Costa, Mark DeSaulnier has been in office since 1991. Two laws. One renamed a post office. Not one person slept indoors because of it. I'm running against him November 3.
"Proud to introduce." Twelve years in, and introducing is still your highlight reel. You filed your last transit bill in 2020, 2021, 2023 and 2026. Four times. Never left committee. The 6:40 to Embarcadero is more reliable than you are. I'm running against Mark DeSaulnier November 3.
I've been reading Mark DeSaulnier's voting record. He voted with his party 98.8 percent of the time in the last full Congress ProPublica scored. A light switch has more range. I coach. I don't agree with my own play calls 98.8 percent of the time. He needs to go. Every career politician needs to go, in both parties. Congress was never meant to be a career. It was meant to be a tour of duty. Go, fix what's broken, come home, and live under the laws you wrote. I'm a businessman. I fix things. 8-year term limits. Ban members of Congress from trading stocks, because it's insider trading with a badge. No budget, no pay. No cashing out as a lobbyist the day you leave office. Nobody owns me. No special-interest money, no consultants. You don't send a rubber stamp back to Washington. You replace it.
Today is October 1. New federal fiscal year. Back in April, Mark DeSaulnier announced $46.7 million in "local projects" for this year. Twenty requests. Amount of it that exists today: $0. On September 1 the House voted to run the government on last year's numbers until December 11. And Castro Valley, 52,779 people DeSaulnier is asking to vote for him, was on that April list for exactly $0 before the year even started. He announces money twice. Once when he asks, once if it shows up. I'm running against him November 3.
@dadstrom@MarioNawfal Yes, if he'll show. I've said yes to any format. The League of Women Voters will moderate but won't host, so I'm lining up a venue now. Twelve years in office should be easy to defend for an hour.
Forty-five years of paychecks, and Social Security and Medicare came out of every one before the check ever reached you. Only Washington can take your money for forty-five years and call it an entitlement the day you ask for it back. You paid into it your whole life. It's yours. A promise that size needs somebody who can move a bill. I have one opponent, Mark DeSaulnier. Here is his record. All of it is public. Not one of his bills has made it out of committee since January 2023. After thirty-five years in office, he has never chaired a full committee in Congress. My opponent has introduced more than 200 bills and passed two. That's not legislating. That's filing. That record is pathetic, and he needs to go. So does every career politician, in either party. I'm a businessman. I fix things. Social Security and Medicare left exactly as promised. No cuts. You earned it. No raising the retirement age. Go after the fraud and waste. In business, if you go years without shipping anything, you're gone. I'd like to bring that standard to Washington.
Twice, in April 2023 and again in January 2025, Congress voted on one question: do girls' school sports stay for girls? Mark DeSaulnier voted no. Both times. In 2025 two Democrats crossed over to vote yes. He wasn't one of them. Then came the Parents Bill of Rights: schools post what they teach, and parents get to see it. It passed 213 to 208. He voted no on that too. I coach. I have three daughters. I don't need a study to tell me what every parent in the bleachers already knows. Money to classrooms instead of bureaucracies. Back to basics. Bring back shop class and the trades. And parents in charge, of the curriculum and of the locker room. He's had nearly 12 years to get the easy things right. Fire him on November 3.

Same fight in Contra Costa, Steve. Mark DeSaulnier has held office since 1991, twelve of those years in Congress, and the whole haul is two laws. One renamed a post office. Ask Becerra tonight what he actually fixed. Then start a stopwatch for the part where it's somebody else's fault. I'm on the ballot against DeSaulnier November 3.
