  • Friends, I'm Ritesh Tandon, and I'm running for US Congress in CA-17. Twenty-six years ago, I came to the Bay Area with nothing but a dream. This community gave me an education. A career. A family. My two children were born and raised right here. Everything I am, I owe to the Bay Area — and to America. But the Bay Area I came to is not the Bay Area we live in today.

Two Democrats are going strong in CD-17 — if you vote, I can be in the TOP 2 and give a tough fight to the leftist agenda. Please vote. Thank you, Ritesh Tandon

  • Friends — Two career politicians have raised $15M+ to buy the CA-17 seat. All I have is you. I'm not running for a party — I'm running for our families, our kids, and the Silicon Valley that built this country. I can make the Top Two if the voters who want change simply show up.

Vote, and forward this to every friend in CA-17 (Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Milpitas, Alviso, parts of San Jose & Fremont). We will NOT let two Democrats run the table.

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.
