Vin Kruttiventi (R)
One of our most valuable resources is our aging population. We must make sure they have access to the assistance and care they require in order to have happy and healthy lives.I will fight to support laws that increase access to Medicare and Medicaid, make prescription medications more accessible, and spend money on long-term care services. Additionally, We need practical solutions that will allow existing and future elderly folks to maintain their quality of life. I will fight to build and promote an economy with assisted living employment that is competitive with other private sector occupations.
National and Border Security are one of my top priority. I will work to ensure that our military is strong and well-equipped, and that our intelligence agencies have the resources they need to protect us from threats both foreign and domestic. I will also work to strengthen our alliances with other countries and to promote peace and stability around the world.

I will support policies that promote water conservation measures in our homes and businesses, and I will work to protect our water sources from pollution.
Energy and water are two of our country's most critical issues today. I am committed to ensuring a sustainable supply of both for future generations.

Representing the interests of the constituents: A member of Congress is responsible for representing the interests of the people who elected them. This means listening to their concerns, fighting for their needs, and making sure that their voices are heard in Washington.
Making laws: A member of Congress is also responsible for making laws. This is a complex and vital process, and members of Congress must have the knowledge and experience to do it effectively.
Overseeing the executive branch: A member of Congress has the responsibility to oversee the executive branch of government. This means ensuring that the executive branch is accountable to the people and that it is carrying out the laws passed by Congress.

Mandela was a courageous leader who positively impacted the lives of millions of people in South Africa. He fought against apartheid and helped to bring about democracy in his country. He was also a strong advocate for peace and reconciliation.
Mandela's story is one of hope and inspiration. It shows that even the most powerful forces of oppression can be overcome. It also shows that one person can make a difference in the world.
As a courageous leader, Mandela faced many challenges throughout his life. He was imprisoned for 27 years for his fight against apartheid. However, he never gave up on his beliefs. He continued to fight for what he believed in, even when it was difficult.
Mandela's positive impact on the lives of thousands of people is undeniable. He helped to end apartheid and to bring about democracy in South Africa. He also promoted peace and reconciliation between the different races in his country.
Mandela is a role model for me. He is an example of what it means to be a courageous leader who positively impacts the world.

The song is about overcoming adversity and achieving success. It is a reminder that anything is possible if you set your mind to it.

As a family-oriented person, I value family, community, and unity. I believe that we are stronger when we work together.
The song "Remember the Name" is a reminder that we all have the potential to achieve great things. It is a reminder that we should never give up on our dreams.
Vin Kruttiventi (R)
According to a study by the Brookings Institution, 40% of all members of Congress have no prior experience in government. In the 2022 midterm elections, over 30% of all newly elected members of Congress had no prior experience in government.
Some of the most successful politicians in American history had no prior experience in government before being elected president. So, while previous experience in government can be beneficial, it is not necessary to be successful in politics.
There are several benefits to having outside experience in politics. I bring in fresh ideas for problem-solving. I better understand the challenges facing ordinary Americans and represent all of the different views in my district. This is because I have not been insulated from these challenges by a career in government. I will challenge the establishment and fight for change.
I believe that it is important for representatives to have a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. This includes people with experience in government, as well as people with experience in the private sector. This diversity allows for a more informed and effective government.
I also believe that it is important for representatives to be responsive to the needs of the people they represent. This means being willing to listen to the concerns of ordinary Americans and to fight for their interests.
I am confident that I can be a successful representative, even though I do not have prior experience in government. I have a proven track record of business success, and I am passionate about fighting for the needs of ordinary Americans.
Vin Kruttiventi (R)
Economic inequality: The gap between the rich and the poor is growing wider in America. This is a threat to our democracy and our economy. We must find solutions to promote economic growth and opportunity for all Americans.
Water and Energy: Water and energy are essential for our economy and our way of life. We must ensure that we have a sustainable water and energy supply for future generations. We must also ensure that water and energy are affordable for all Americans. One of the biggest challenges we face is water storage and water quality. We need to find ways to store more water and to improve the quality of our water. We also need to protect our water sources from pollution and invest in renewable and sustainable energy production including nuclear, solar, and wind power.
Healthcare: Healthcare is too expensive for many Americans. We need to find ways to make healthcare more affordable and accessible while protecting the quality of care.
Education: Our education system is not meeting the needs of all students. We need to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education, regardless of their background or zip code.
Infrastructure: Our infrastructure is crumbling. We must invest in roads, bridges, and airports to keep our economy running smoothly. However, we must do this in a fiscally responsible way.
Political polarization: Our country is more politically divided than ever before. This is making it difficult to get things done in Washington. We need to find ways to bridge the partisan divide and work together to solve our problems.
These are just a few of the challenges facing America over the next decade. But as a moderate Republican, I believe that we can overcome these challenges and build a stronger and brighter future for our country. I am committed to working with people from all walks of life to find solutions that work for everyone.

Two-year terms ensure that representatives are regularly accountable to the people who elected them. This helps to ensure that representatives are responsive to the needs of their constituents.
Two-year terms make it easier for new candidates to run for office and to challenge incumbents. This helps to promote diversity in Congress and to make it more representative of the American people.
Two-year terms help prevent representatives from becoming too powerful and entrenched in their positions. This helps to keep Congress responsive to the will of the people.
Of course, there are also some arguments against two-year terms. For example, some argue that two-year terms are too short for representatives to develop the expertise needed to do their job effectively. Others say that two-year terms lead to too much focus on re-election and not enough on governing.
However, I believe that the benefits of two-year terms outweigh the drawbacks. Two-year terms help to keep representatives accountable to the people, to promote diversity in Congress, and to prevent representatives from becoming too powerful.
Vin Kruttiventi (R)
Politicians without term limits risk growing stale in their roles and losing touch with the needs of their supporters. They might also be more inclined to deal with special interests and commit acts of corruption.
Term limits ensure that elected leaders be often replaced with new individuals who have fresh ideas and perspectives, which helps to prevent these issues. By doing this, we can maintain our government responsive to public needs and keep it from becoming inert.
Term restrictions also aid in promoting diversity in Congress. Term limitations enable fresh candidates, such as women, minorities, and young people, by establishing a system where elected leaders must frequently resign. By doing this, we can make sure that the American people are really represented in our government.
Term limits do not, of course, address every issue that exists in Congress. However, they represent a significant advancement. Term limitations contribute to our government's continuity, accountability, and responsiveness to the interests of the people.

Reagan's presidency was a time of great prosperity and progress for the United States. He cut taxes, reduced regulations, and strengthened the military. He also led the country to victory in the Cold War.
Reagan was a true leader who was not afraid to stand up for what he believed in. He is a role model for me, and I hope to follow in his footsteps as a member of Congress.

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in California in 2024. Information below was calculated on 1/16/2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Two-hundred forty-one candidates filed to run for California's 52 U.S. House districts in 2024, including 125 Democrats, 88 Republicans, and 28 independent or minor party candidates. That’s 4.63 candidates per district. In 2022, the first election after the number of congressional districts in California decreased from 53 to 52 following the 2020 census, 5.2 candidates filed per district. In 2020, when the state still had 53 Congressional districts, 4.94 candidates filed per district. In 2018, 4.6 candidates filed.
The 241 candidates who ran in California in 2024 were the fewest total number of candidates since 2016, when 202 candidates ran. Forty-five incumbents—34 Democrats and 11 Republicans—ran for re-election. That was fewer than in 2022, when 47 incumbents ran. Six districts were open, one more than in 2022, and the most since 2014, when six districts were also open.
Incumbents Barbara Lee (D-12th), Adam Schiff (D-30th), and Katie Porter (D-47th) ran for the state’s open U.S. Senate seat. Incumbent Sen. Laphonza Butler (D) didn't run for re-election. Incumbents Grace Napolitano (D-31st), Tony Cárdenas (D-29th), and Anna Eshoo (D-16th) retired from public office. One incumbent—Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-20th)—left Congress before the end of his term. A special election was held to fill his seat before the general election.
Fifteen candidates—12 Democrats, two Republicans, and one nonpartisan—ran in the open 30th district, the most candidates running for a seat in 2024.
Forty-two primaries were contested, the fewest since 2018, when 41 were contested. All 52 primaries were contested in 2022, and 47 were in 2020. In California, which uses a top-two primary system, a primary is contested if more than two candidates file to run.
Incumbents ran in 35 of the 42 contested primaries. That’s lower than 2022, when 47 incumbents ran in contested primaries, but higher than every other year since 2014. In 2020, 32 incumbents faced contested primaries. Thirty-nine incumbents did so in 2018, 36 in 2016, and 32 in 2014.
Democratic candidates ran in every district. Republican candidates ran in every district except one—the 37th. Two Democrats, including incumbent Sydney Kamlage-Dove, one nonpartisan candidate, and one Peace and Freedom Party member ran in that district.Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2024 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was D+22. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 22 percentage points more Democratic than the national average. This made California's 14th the 57th most Democratic district nationally.[9]
