Small businesses aren’t just storefronts… they’re early mornings, late nights, second mortgages, and a whole lot of belief stitched together with grit. They’re the heartbeat of CA48. But right now? Too many are getting squeezed from every direction. Rising costs. Complicated regulations. Big corporations playing a different game with a stacked deck. That’s where I step in. I’m not here to talk about “supporting small business” like it’s a slogan. I’m here to actually do the work: ✔️ Cut throu

Immigration is one of the biggest issues facing our country right now. We need a system that is secure, fair, and actually works. That means protecting our borders, fixing the broken processes, and creating policies that reflect reality, not political theater.

I don’t take a dime from corporations. Period. Why? Because big healthcare lobbies have a vice grip on our representatives, and it’s standing in the way of the care we all deserve. We need to put people over profits and finally pass universal healthcare. 🩺✊ #PeopleOverProfits #HealthcareIsARight Learn more 🇺🇸 abelchavezforcongress.com Donate now 🇺🇸 abelchavezforcongress.com/donate #AbelChavezForCongress #ChavezforCongress #Californiapolitics #CaliforniaCongress #CA48 #RiversideCounty #San

Each name opens the page’s Vipima page, with its own figures and its link to Meta’s Ad Library.
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.
