We had a great turnout on a Wednesday morning outside of Kiley’s office, but minimal media coverage even though both @ABC10 and @CBSSacramento conducted interviews and filmed the event. Why so little coverage? @placerdems

Hey @RepKiley @KevinKileyCA maybe if you concentrated less on #Newsom & more on representing your #CA03 constituents you could tell the truth.

Hey @KevinKileyCA @RepKiley how are you enjoying your #EpsteinRecess? Thanks for those fictional narratives you call newsletters. How about holding some #CA03 town halls so you can lie to us in person?

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree with this administration on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think that this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake ... cancer ... your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute."

.@KevinKileyCA voted for a $20 Billion tax giveaway to the wealthy for private schools. Every $ for vouchers is a $ NOT going to school nurses, meals, & essential classroom services. Kiley know this. So do we. #KickOutKiley #CA03 #PublicSchoolStrong

This aged well.
If Joe Biden federalizes the National Guard, that would be a direct attack on states' rights. Over the last several years, we've seen Democrats try to take away our Freedoms of religion, assembly, and speech. We can't let them take away our right to defend ourselves, too. South Dakota defends the Constitution.

Come on @RepKiley, fulfill your oath to protect all Americans. You can grow a spine & stand up to authoritarianism! I am a #CA03 constituent and when you fight, I will applaud you! #HeyGOPGrowASpine #CallYourRep #PGAS CA03 app.sosha.ai/s/Rw9RJwsr

So. . . @RepKiley is in favor of choice . . . just not our reproductive choices. He's touting his role in "allowing" Californians to drive the car of their choice, but doesn't support the right of women to make decisions about their bodies. Hypocrisy 101. #KickOutKiley

#WhereIsKevin Not meeting with his constituents! "Not long after, Lake Tahoe residents were enraged when Rep. Kevin Kiley never responded to their calls." BTW, @RepKiley has responded to Placer's invitation either. sfgate.com/politics/article/…

But truthfully, can we expect someone so two-faced to even respond? He's too busy accepting awards from groups he's gutted to bother with us peons. Don't turn your back on him. My LTE in @AuburnJournal

Hey ⁦@KevinKileyCA⁩ ⁦@RepKiley⁩ we finally found an egregious example of waste, fraud,& abuse. Do you honestly believe that #CA03 wants to see our taxes pay for this? Army plans for a potential parade on Trump's birthday call for 6,600 soldiers apnews.com/article/army-para…
