These California Republicans have one advantage in the race for Congress: Money
California Republicans in competitive congressional districts hold significant financial advantages over Democratic opponents, with Republican candidates like David Valadao and Jim Desmond possessing substantially larger campaign funds. A recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling eliminating spending limits for political parties further bolsters GOP financial resources, as the Republican National Committee holds over $125 million compared to the Democratic National Committee's debt status.
