Over Disruptor Politics

My name is Erica Lee. I ran for Congress in my hometown, Sacramento. I recently ended my campaign as a working class renter due to MONEY, time, and political gatekeeping, to name just a few reasons. As an experienced campaign operative with experience working in DC on Capitol Hill, I intend to speak openly about the Democratic establishment and how it keeps grassroots candidates down, the "endorsement Olympics," the fundraising, and more. Please subscribe to no miss out on regularly published episodes!

3/24/26: Cake (Band) Fundraises for Progressive Challengers and Doris Matsui Lies in SFGate Article

Here is the SFGate article I reference in this episode. [https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/doris-matsui-mai-vang-primary-22079629.php] Cake, from Sacramento, held a fundraiser before their Sunday night concert for both Mai Vang and Effie Phillips Staley (who is from Sacramento but running for Congress in New York where she's been living against Republican Mike Lawler). Note though that in California, we have jungle primaries where the top two vote getters will advance, but in New York, they still have Democratic primaries.  I also go through this article line by line and also reference Elk Grove vice mayor Darren Suen trying to convince me Doris Matsui is the better candidate in the race for spurious reasons.

2/23: California Democratic Convention Endorsement Sh*t Show

Nancy Pelosi crashed the endorsement debate caucus between her bestie Congresswoman Doris Matsui (who cannot earn the endorsement on her own anymore) and the lone progressive on Sacramento's City Council, Mai Vang, who's endorsed by Justice Democrats, Our Revolution, the California Working Families Party, and more. Not even The Sacramento Bee noticed TWO OTHER DEMOCRATIC HOUSE LEADERS were there-- Rep. Pete Aguilar and Rep. Zoe Lofgren. I confronted both of them and shared how much constituents want something new as the original Democrat in this race. To skip to the recap of the convention, skip ahead to the 30:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZbzDsbRI_I&t=1800s]; the rest is the explanation of procedures and previous votes and history between the two candidates. The byzantine process of endorsing old, moderate Democrats and how they keep progressives down. Listen to how Nancy Pelosi crashed the debate caucus to help save 81yo Doris Matsui from losing the endorsement as the 20-year incumbent to progressive Sacramento City Councilmember Mai Vang. Also, Rep. Pete Aguilar and Rep. Zoe Lofgren were in attendance and NO ONE REPORTED ON THAT but ME; I don't think local media know who they are but I do because I've worked on campaigns for years and on and off the Hill. Learn about how moderate the "young Democrats" of Sacramento are and how a city councilmember colleague of Vang's came through at the last minute to endorse her in the face of mediocre establishment desperation.
