We had the opportunity to speak at last week’s rally against the ICE shooting range contract. Chief Plunkett should know that Escondido has a long history of racist policy that never ends in the city’s favor. The @escondidopolice shooting range contract with ICE and HSI is more than a misstep, it’s divisive and has been incredibly damaging the community. Letting the contract die out is not an option. True leadership demands that you come forward, deliver a genuine mea culpa, and commit fully to

Friends, Family, & Neighbors, I’ve lived in Escondido nearly all my life and have always believed with my whole heart that our city is deserving of more principled leadership. It's a bitter truth: our council majority is nothing more than a rubber stamp for the local establishment and business interests. They continue to uphold dangerous policies and are too busy bending over backwards for developers to be bothered to meet the needs of the people. Their complete disregard for the community must

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.
Back to the United States report, both parties and every candidate or every advertiser.
