A Campaign for the Future
We look to our political leaders for guidance and hope in times of trouble. We ask them to represent us in the U.S. government, and to fight for what is right, and good. We expect them to speak up when an injustice demands a response. And so Tom McClintock’s silence right now is deafening.
Tom McClintock long has claimed to care about our Constitution. He trots it out when it suits him, to insist that he’s just trying to protect our constitutional rights. But as is his wont, Tom twists the Constitution to serve his political goals.
Getting every eligible voter to cast a ballot will be key to removing a representative who works against his constituents.
Tom McClintock is, if nothing else, consistent. He consistently supports the GOP’s agenda and its political leaders, no matter how destructive or negligent they are.
McClintock bemoans the restrictions enacted as a life-saving measure across the country. He insists it’s time to open up. He’s just doubling down on the death cult taking over the right.
It also has exposed many of the flaws in the policies Tom McClintock has embraced for his entire political career. The country’s fragmented and uneven health care system, which Republicans stubbornly refuse to fix, is at the top of the list.
He’d rather condemn people to death than adopt policies at a federal level that might expose how badly the Trump administration has bungled its response to COVID-19.
…he ignores the proof we get with every Republican Administration that his hands-off approach to government does not work.
They’re supposed to keep us safe. Their job is to keep us safe. Tom McClintock’s job is to keep us safe. But like the rest of the GOP, Tom McClintock chooses to ignore the things that truly threaten us, and to rage at phantoms instead.
A government small enough to drown in the bathtub. That’s been the GOP’s goal for decades — to shrink the government so much that it plays no role in our …
We’ve known for a while that Tom McClintock has little regard for the people he’s supposed to serve. He doesn’t worry much about the families struggling to make ends meet …
Tom McClintock long has fought for an amendment to the Constitution that would require a balanced budget — forcing the U.S. Government to reduce its spending to match its revenue every year. Sounds good in principle. But he never tells you all the harm a balanced budget would do.
But once again, McClintock is nowhere to be seen when his constituents need him to fight for them
As with everything else he does, McClintock simply ignores the enormous harm his policies would do to veterans, too many of whom are forced to rely on these benefits to survive.
Tom McClintock likes to claim that he supports the military and veterans. But like so many of McClintock’s policies, his words and his deeds do not match.
Tom McClintock voted “No,” continuing his feckless and unquestioning support of this Administration.
Access to quality health care — and good insurance that we can actually afford — is a critical issue for the residents of California’s 4th District and the rest of the Nation. Our GOP representatives claim that they care about this issue. But they don’t act like it.
Tom McClintock’s “No” vote last month on H.R. 3, Pharmaceutical Price Controls, is one of his worst. Prescription drug prices are out of control in the U.S. — with lifesaving medicine too expensive for many people to afford — and once again McClintock put the interests of rich companies ahead of the interests of his constituents.
Tom McClintock’s views regarding the Affordable Care Act are well-known. He ignores the huge challenges people faced before the ACA — the prices that skyrocketed every year, the insurers who …

As we finish 2019, more committed than ever to effecting positive change in 2020, we’re thinking about the reasons we are fighting for change.

Our decisions about how we spend our money reflect our values. They reveal who we are more than many other decisions we make. And so we know exactly who Tom …
Tom McClintock likes to talk about the Nation’s economy. Like so many other Republicans, he falsely claims that Trump turned around a bad economy. But as this article shows, the …

This Congress is getting things done, without Tom McClintock’s help. They’re showing us what politicians can accomplish when they commit to finding solutions to difficult problems.
Follow the money. It’s always good advice, and in politics, it’s the best advice. And when you follow the money in California’s 4th District, it leads directly to Tom McClintock, and his stubborn refusal to take meaningful action to protect his constituents from the increasing risk of wildfires.
Another year gone. Hundreds of lives lost or irrevocably damaged. Thousands of homes and businesses destroyed. This is Tom McClintock’s legacy. For more than a year, Tom McClintock’s constituents have …
It’s almost as if Tom McClintock wants us to send him back to his own District. As if — somewhere deep inside — he knows that he doesn’t have what …
One year from today. In one year, we get another chance to send Tom McClintock back to his own District. He deserves to be sent back.
At the pre-endorsement conference held Saturday October 5, 2019, over 75% of the votes were for Brynne Kennedy. This means her name will be put on the Consent Calendar at …

If their proposals were good policy — if they offered solutions that our country needs — the GOP would have no reason to lie. We know their arguments are empty …
Stunning, breathtaking hypocrisy. Those are the words that come to mind as Tom McClintock once again expresses his full support for Donald Trump’s power-grab. During the Obama administration, McClintock railed …
Thank you for all you did in our effort to replace Tom McClintock with a representative in Congress who is not beholden to Donald Trump, corporate donors and far-right ideology. …
Dear Representative Tom McClintock, You won your reelection and you probably feel pretty good, as you should. It was a tough race, harder than any since your first. I am …
