Why We Endorse Jessica
Kevin Kiley, the current representative from District 3 to the U.S. House of Representatives, has voted against the interest of local residents too many times.
He voted for a nearly 44% reduction in wildfire suppression funding and has voted against sensible gun control so often that he has an “A” rating from the National Rifle Association (NRA). He’s also attacked teachers’ unions and, supported extreme candidates for local school district races.
Worse, these were the only things we could really find out about Kevin Kiley becuase he has done so little in his terms in Congress, sponsoring few bills. Those few that he has will not make significant changes to the lives of local people in any meaningful way.
We need someone who thinks about what local residents need. That’s why FRDC endorses Jessica Morse for U.S. House of Representitives from District 3.
She is endorsed by Safer California (which advocates for gun safety) and Mom’s Demand Gun Sense, the California Labor Federation, and the pro-choice Emily’s List. She places high priority on fire prevention, clean energy, and water purity. She believes in transitioning to a clean energy economy through solar and wind power, both of which we have a great deal of in District 3. She is is the exact opposite of Kevin Killey.
