He promised not to vote for Nancy Pelosi as Speaker, but then voted for her with one of his very first votes in Congress. He promised not to take money from PACs, but then took hundreds of thousands of dollars in PAC and special interest money. He promised to be an independent leader, but then voted with Nancy Pelosi 100% of the time. Backup: Cisneros said that he would not vote for Pelosi as Speaker: Editor’s Note: Gil Cisneros was elected in November of 2018. • Cisneros has said the he would not vote for Pelosi as Speaker. “Gil Cisneros (CA- 39) statement to POLITICO, when asked if he’d vote for Pelosi as speaker: ‘No. While I respect Representative Pelosi’s years of advocacy on behalf of California and the Democratic party, new leadership is needed.’” (“Democratic candidates vow to dump Pelosi,” Politico, 6/20/18) Cisneros signed onto a letter in opposition of her becoming Speaker Of The House: • Gil Cisneros signed onto a letter in opposition of her becoming Speaker Of The House.

Brian Higgins dropped his opposition just two days after the letter was released with his signature included.” (Lindsey McPherson, “California Rep. -elect Gil Cisneros Signs Onto Anti-Pelosi Letter,” Roll Call, 11/26/18) • Gil Cisneros expressed the same sentiment during his 2018 campaign. “Cisneros had expressed those same sentiments during his campaign, but his signing onto the letter shows that his opposition to Pelosi was not a campaign promise he intends to break.” (Lindsey McPherson, “California Rep. -elect Gil Cisneros Signs Onto Anti-Pelosi Letter,” Roll Call, 11/26/18) Gil Cisneros voted for Nancy Pelosi on January 3, 2019: • On January 3, 2019, Gil Cisneros voted Pelosi for Speaker.

And the best way to do that was to not take any PAC money. So I haven’t taken any PAC money from any corporations. I haven’t taken any PAC money from special interests. I haven’t taken PAC money.” (Gil Cisneros At A CSUF Candidate Forum, 10/18/18, America Rising YouTube Page, 04/09/19) • Gil Cisneros said he refused ‘to take PAC or special interest money” and said money “is corrosive to our democracy and real campaign reform is needed now.” (Gil Cisneros Twitter Feed, 01/10/18) • Gil Cisneros’s spokesperson said “Gil Cisneros has made a pledge to not accept any contributions from PACs, period. Each and every time the Cisneros for Congress campaign has received a direct contribution from a PAC, it has returned the funds to the PAC immediately.” “Gil Cisneros has made a pledge to not accept any contributions from PACs, period. Each and every time the Cisneros for Congress campaign has received a direct contribution from a PAC, it has returned the funds to the PAC immediately,” said Cisneros’ campaign manager, Nic Jordan, in a statement. Cisneros is running for the open 39th District seat in north Orange County being vacated by Rep. Ed Royce (R-Fullerton).” (Nick Gerda, “Corporate PAC Money flows to All Candidates in Contested OC Congressional Races,” Voice of OC, 10/29/18) • In August of 2017, Gil Cisneros announced his refusal to accept PAC money to his campaign.

I will not accept any PAC money to my campaign, and I call on Congressman Royce to do the same.” (Press Release, “Gil Cisneros announces refusal to accept PAC Money to his campaign,” Gil Cisneros For Congress, 08/17/17) • CISNEROS: “We need to do much more to get corporate money out of politics. I support a constitutional amendment which overturns Citizens United. We also need to increase financial disclosure requirements for political spending.” (Press Release, “Gil Cisneros announces refusal to accept PAC Money to his campaign,” Gil Cisneros For Congress, 08/17/17) • CISNEROS: “Corporate special interests have dominated our politics for too long, and Congress needs to enact real campaign finance reform.” (Press Release, “Gil Cisneros announces refusal to accept PAC Money to his campaign,” Gil Cisneros For Congress, 08/17/17) • CISNEROS: “I will work to fix our broken campaign finance laws and fight to get corporate special interest money out of politics.” (Press Release, “Gil Cisneros announces refusal to accept PAC Money to his campaign,” Gil Cisneros For Congress, 08/17/17) PAC DONATIONS Gil Cisneros received hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions from PACs and special interest groups: • Per Political Moneyline, Cisneros has received $722,844 from PACs so far during the 2019-2020 Election cycle.

  • Calling on the Census Bureau
    September 3, 2020 Dr. Steven Dillingham Director United States Census Bureau 4600 Silver Hill Road Washington, DC 20233 Dear Dr. Dillingham: This letter is to inquire about the U.S. Census Bureau’s plans for accurately counting our country’s population in the 2020 Census. In California, nearly 15 percent of our residents remain uncounted, many in historically undercounted communities at risk of losing federal funding and resources. In light of the challenges created by COVID-19, the fires burning across California, and the recent decision to end counting operations early, we ask that you provide additional detail about how a complete count will be achieved. It is our understanding that with the shortened counting timeline, Census Bureau workers will need to visit 8 million more homes nationwide than in 2010, in just seven weeks instead of ten weeks. Data accuracy and review procedures for processing apportionment counts have also been reduced from six months to three months. Additional obstacles caused by COVID-19 include a higher number of people experiencing homelessness—an historically undercounted population—as well as difficulties with hiring and retention of census workers. Given these significant barriers to a fair and accurate census, we would appreciate answers to the following questions. With in-person counting operations cut short, the Census Bureau will likely need to utilize administrative records and statistical techniques to complete the enumeration. Do you now anticipate any changes in the number of households that will

The significant haul puts her near the top of all House challengers across the country. The Young Kim for Congress campaign also reported ending the year with nearly $900,000 cash-on-hand and raising over $1.3 million in just 8 months in 2019. As Kim builds the war chest she needs to defeat Gil Cisneros, she also rolled out numerous key national and local endorsements in the final three months of 2019. Kim’s strong campaign infrastructure has attracted notice from the NRCC and the DCCC, who both have California’s 39th District as a key battleground seat in the fight for the House majority. “There is a reason Young is posting strong fundraising numbers and attracting endorsements from all across the country - she is a hardworking and dynamic candidate who is incredibly qualified and has everything it will take to win back this seat,” stated Sam Oh, general consultant to the Kim campaign. “Gil Cisneros has spent his first year in D.C. in lock step with Nancy Pelosi and his constituents are fed up.” Young has close to 200 federal and local leaders supporting her candidacy and also has been endorsed by the California, Orange County, Los Angeles County, and San Bernardino County Republican Parties.

  • July 24, 2018 Federal Election Commission Lisa J. Stevenson
    July 24, 2018 Federal Election Commission Lisa J. Stevenson, Acting General Counsel Office of the General Counsel 1050 First Street, NE Washington, DC 20463 Submitted via email and U.S.P.S. Petition for Rulemaking to Revise and Amend Regulations Relating to the Personal Use of Leadership PAC Funds Dear Ms. Stevenson, Pursuant to 11 C.F.R. § 200.1 et seq., Campaign Legal Center (“CLC”), Issue One, and former United States Representatives Rod Chandler (R-WA), Larry LaRocco (D- ID), Peter Smith (R-VT), Claudine Schneider (R-RI), and John Tanner (D-TN) hereby petition the Federal Election Commission to open a rulemaking to revise and amend 11 C.F.R. § 113.1(g), the regulation defining the personal use of campaign funds, to clarify the application of this rule to so-called “Leadership PACs.” Congress has prohibited “any contribution accepted by a candidate” and “any other donation received by an individual as support for activities of the individual as a holder of Federal office” from being converted to the “personal use” of the candidate or any other person. 52 U.S.C. §§ 30114(a), 30114(b)(1). By its very terms, this statutory personal use prohibition is applicable to any contribution received by a candidate’s leadership PAC, and Commission rules should reflect this clear statutory mandate. Although the Commission has allowed for the creation of leadership PACs to permit candidates and officeholders to support other candidates or party committees, the attached report demonstrates that leadership PACs are commonly used as slush funds to subsidize officeholders’ lifestyles. As the analysis in the attached report (“All Expenses Paid: How Leadership PACs Became Politicians’ Preferred Ticket to Luxury Living”) demonstrates, over the past five years, only 45% of all leadership PAC spending has gone towards contributions to other candidates or political committees—and many leadership PACs give even less.

The full California primary profile is available for download here.
