Sherman paid his lowest-paid staffer $42K in 2025, less than 96% of the sitting House members’ offices (425 shown with a full year of 2025 data)

Sherman’s peak year of mail is in the top 1% of all House offices during the 2016-2025 Trump era.

Scatterplot of fulltime median constituent services member wage versus average money spent on paper mail (2016-2025). Every dot is a House office with at least a full year of data. Congressman Sherman is exceptional in paying $188K in mail (per year average) while only offering a $50,500 median staff salary (most recent year). He is among the highest spenders on paper mail and lowest payers of salary.

Card saying “Recently, I compared his taxpayer budget to AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Ayanna Pressley. That was unfair. I should have compared him to everyone.”

It’s important to be able to admit when I’ve been unfair. 😔 I hope you will still vote for me on June 2nd.

Your congressperson gets $2M a year in taxpayer money. I built a dashboard to show you where it goes. Nearly a quarter of it is paper mail during election years. His lowest-paid employee makes 20% less than offices that actually prioritize living wages. I’ll spend it on people, not paper.

60K views on the Reddit post. 14% international viewers. I have circled the spies for convenience.
Analytics panel for the Anna Wilding called me a Chinese spy Reddit post circling the international views bar chart percentage with “SPIES” scrawled across

These were sent by candidate Anna Wilding to Jake Levine’s campaign manager. I’m so grateful to the Jake Levine campaign for their allyship against racism.

A candidate in my race called me a Chinese spy because I’m a data scientist with an Asian last name. She told a rival campaign to act on it. My parents are from Taiwan. I have a doctorate. I was born and raised in this district, and I want to help as many people as possible. That’s why I’m running

I’m a climate scientist with a doctorate and published research in machine learning. Science built my career. Science built the rocket orbiting the moon right now. In Congress, I will fight to fully fund NASA, restore the NSF and NIH, and protect STEM education.

A few months ago, a friend’s mom lost $400K in a romance scam. Her mom thought she had found love after a period of deep loneliness from her husband’s unexpected passing. It’s especially devastating when someone preys on our vulnerability and there’s a system of money built on being untraceable.

As your congresswoman, I will represent you regardless of your immigration status, and I will come find you if ICE takes you. Join me in observing ICE check-ins (and check-outs).

Just did my first shift accompanying neighbors to their ICE check-in to make sure our immigrant neighbors are safe, and DHS took photos 📸 of my car. As you can see, I was really trying to hide.

We need single-payer healthcare now. The risk of financial ruin, layers of bureaucracy, and phone trees are preventing people from seeking care and killing people. What happens if you’re in-between jobs, and you can’t afford the $1500 COBRA or the $611 ACA plan?

Caravan serenade on 3/14 for imprisoned immigrants at the Adelanto Detention Center. This serenade was organized by @daylaborernetwork and other community groups. My goal is to abolish ICE and abolish immigrant detention centers. #abolishice

I’m not a Washington insider. I’m fully grassroots and beholden to no one except my future constituents. I made my campaign website for free, and each tool came from a question that a constituent asked. Imagine what I could do if you sent me to Washington. #ca32 #abolishice #marenaforcongress

7.4M Californians voted for Prop 50, but how many of us actually know what district we’ll be in and when? I created the only tool to show definitively what district you’ll be in starting January 2027… so you can figure out whom you’ll vote for in the June 2nd primary. #prop50 #california2026

AOC’s office assisted in 1000 constituent cases in the first 18 months of her first term, with 800 of them related to immigration. How many has Brad Sherman completed in 28 years? And how many in the last year, with ICE plaguing our district?

So the LA County Sheriff makes $410K… what does that have to do with getting on the ballot?

Before Good and Pretti’s horrific murders by CBP and ICE officers, Keith Porter, Jr. was publicly executed by an “off-duty” ICE officer in Northridge, which was in Brad Sherman’s district and is now in George Whitesides’ district. The nearby intersection was in Luz Rivas’ district. #ca32 #ca27 #ca29

I made this protest sign in 2018. I stood by it then (literally) and today. As a friend said, the centrist, moderate position is abolish ICE. #AbolishICE #CA32
protest sign that reads: No Human is Illegal, Abolish ICE

The majority of us have been in college. Can you believe that 20% of us have graduate degrees?

43% of us are renters! If you're a millennial who hasn't been able to buy a home... well, you and me both!
