  • I’ve spent my life invested in Merced as a father, a teacher, and a coach. I’m running because District 6 deserves a councilmember who will fully staff our police and fire departments, fix our roads, keep downtown clean and safe, and address homelessness with both compassion and accountability. This race will be close. Your vote isn’t just a voice; it may be the deciding one. Please return your ballot by November 3 and ask your family to do the same. I won’t let you down.

  • Councilmember Xiong’s hateful comments about Merced police officers are wrong, and his refusal to stand for the flag proves he’s out of touch with Merced.

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
