Supporters consistently praise a style rooted in listening, integrity, and showing up for local communities. They point to a clear focus on affordability, healthcare, housing, and wildfire resilience, along with a belief that real progress comes from practical solutions and collaboration. Endorsers also see someone committed to representing everyday residents rather than special interests.
On behalf of our Executive Board, I'm excited to share that Michael Masuda has officially received the endorsement of the California High School Democrats for the 2026 Midterm Elections. We're proud to support his campaign and look forward to working together this cycle.
CA5Unite endorses Michael Masuda for California Congressional District 5 representative. A recent poll of our members showed near unanimous support of Michael. With many District 5 county Indivisible groups and other Democratic and progressive groups already endorsing Michael, CA5Unite.org hopes to be a unifying force, irrespective of party affiliation, to unseat Tom McClintock and get true representation at the federal level. Michael will fight to uphold the Constitution, while addressing the many "kitchen table" issues that affect all of us in District 5. We hope to collaborate with other groups in the district to ensure Michael is our next representative.
The results are in, and our group voted unanimously to endorse Michael Masuda for Congress. With this endorsement we encourage everyone to get behind Michael to send Tom McClintock packing.
