Let's set the record straight about @AngeliqueAshby @AshbyForSenate's #lies and disinformation campaign against @CA_DaveJones:
1. Taking away #Medicare (FALSE): Dave is endorsed by @CalNurses, the leading advocate for #MedicareForAll for ALL Californians.

@AngeliqueAshby @AshbyForSenate @CA_DaveJones @CalNurses 2. Raising car insurance rates (FALSE): Dave saved #California consumers and businesses over $3.11 billion in premiums, by regulating rates for auto, homeowners, and other property and casualty insurance.

@AngeliqueAshby @AshbyForSenate @CA_DaveJones @CalNurses 3. Sued by wildfire victims for failing to protect them from out-of-state insurers - The case was filed by two Sonoma County residents in 2018 and ultimately dismissed as "moot" by the Superior Court of #California, as well as the First District Court of Appeals, in 2020.

@AngeliqueAshby @AshbyForSenate @CA_DaveJones @CalNurses 4. Cut funding for schools (FALSE): Dave is endorsed by the #California Teachers Association, California Federation of Teachers, Los Rios College Federation of Teachers, California Faculty Association, Faculty Association of Community Colleges & other public education defenders!

@AngeliqueAshby @AshbyForSenate @CA_DaveJones @CalNurses 5. Now for the #TRUTH about Angelique Ashby: Be prepared for a spike in attack ads directed at Dave Jones beginning tomorrow, paid for by $3M in dark money from @Chevron & other #FossilFuel #OilAndGas corporations (in addition to $250K already spent), plus $500K from a @GOP PAC.

@AngeliqueAshby @AshbyForSenate @CA_DaveJones @CalNurses @Chevron @GOP #BigOil is supporting Angelique Ashby because Dave Jones is a climate change activist endorsed by every climate organization in #California, including the @SierraClubCA. He also sits on the board of @nature_org and a @UCBerkeley think-tank that combats climate change.

@AngeliqueAshby @AshbyForSenate @CA_DaveJones @CalNurses @Chevron @GOP @SierraClubCA @nature_org @UCBerkeley More #LIES from Angelique Ashby: "(As councilmember for District 1) pushed through a homelessness plan that included shelter for women & children."
#TRUTH: She OPPOSED a shelter for unhoused mothers with children in her district, which was ultimately built DESPITE her objections.

@AngeliqueAshby @AshbyForSenate @CA_DaveJones @CalNurses @Chevron @GOP @SierraClubCA @nature_org @UCBerkeley Unlike Angelique Ashby (who also voted to gut a law that Dave Jones wrote as Assemblymember, by eliminating the requirement that developers build affordable housing), Dave Jones (who began his legal career protecting low-income tenants from eviction) is endorsed by @SacYIMBY.
