California: Roadblock to the Majority

Democrat candidates in California are waking up this morning to mobile billboards like this one cruising through their districts and introducing them to voters.

Not only are these candidates falling behind in fundraising and momentum, but now they’re having to defend their policies, which will hurt California seniors and families.

“California was supposed to be the Democrats ‘road to the majority,’ but instead, it has become their roadblock to the majority. Nancy Pelosi’s home state now stands between her and the Speaker’s chair because of her party’s failures.” – NRCC Spokesman Daniel Scarpinato
