DeSaulnier says he's "passed more than 60 legislative efforts." https://t.co/EWRN2z9f4I says he has sponsored two public laws in twelve years, a post office and a park boundary. Don't take my word for it, check for yourself: https://t.co/0PLUepHh2L
The money story is the same. Sixty million dollars in earmarks sounds like a lot until you divide it by 760,000 people and twelve years and get about seven dollars a year each. He takes your taxes by the billions, hands back the price of a sandwich, and calls it delivering.
On November 3, Jeff Frese will answer for this district.
Vote blue no matter who. What has it gotten you? The largest homeless population in America. The highest poverty rate in the country once you count the rent. More people leaving than any other state. When you demand nothing of your politicians, they deliver nothing. Mark DeSaulnier has had nearly 12 years in Congress. More than 200 bills, two public laws: a post office and a park boundary. He's not working for you. He's working for the paycheck. I'm a businessman. I fix things. Make me earn your vote. I'll earn it. Fire him on November 3.

Only in Washington does it take an act of Congress to decide carjacking is a bad idea. In 2023 Congress voted to block a Washington, D.C. law that cut penalties for carjacking. Thirty-one House Democrats voted to block it and President Biden signed it. Mark DeSaulnier voted no. To the left of Biden on carjacking is a real place, and he lives there. Meanwhile the county I'm raising my daughters in has gotten more expensive and less safe. Career politicians in both parties did that, and they are not going to undo it. They like the job too much. I'm a businessman. I fix things. When something is broken you find the cause, you fix it, and you answer for the result. Back the police. Prosecute crime. Keep repeat offenders off the streets. Real consequences for fentanyl dealers. Every neighborhood in this district should feel safe after dark. Carjacking should never be a close call. For Mark DeSaulnier, it was a no.
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.
