Disruptor Politics
My name is Erica Lee. I ran for Congress in my hometown, Sacramento. I recently ended my campaign as a working class renter due to MONEY, time, and political gatekeeping, to name just a few reasons.
As an experienced campaign operative with experience working in DC on Capitol Hill, I intend to speak openly about the Democratic establishment and how it keeps grassroots candidates down, the "endorsement Olympics," the fundraising, and more.

1/19: Starring the DARK SIDE of SACRAMENTO POLITICS!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I am not recording a long episode like this ever again because it was painful to edit but there are three main topics I cover--
January 12 Candidate forum for CA06 (with Thien Ho, Dr. Richard Pan, Lauren Babb Tomlinson, Martha Guerrero, and Tyler Vandenberg)
SEIU 1000 leadership's unprofessionalism regarding candidates
Saturday's Pre-Endorsement Conferences in Sacramento Area (including Doris Matsui vs Mai Vang, the CA06 candidates again, and the unnecessarily contentious CA03 race). It's a lot but basically, don't run for office in Sacramento until it's more welcoming, and the endorsement process needs to be torched.
Thien Ho as Harvey Dent (start at 13:30)
Sacramento Pre-Endorsement Conference (1/17/26): Doris Matsui, Mai Vang, Tyler Vandenberg, Dr. Richard Pan, Martha Guerrero, Lauren Babb Tomlinson, Thien Ho, Heidi Hall, Ami Bera, Amy Slavensky, David Hildebrand
