Polling shows Anna Eshoo's support has sunk to 35%. Rishi Kumar, her Democratic challenger has highlighted Eshoo’s corruption and is poised to win! There are no Republicans in this race.
Rishi won 127,000 votes in the November 2020 general election - the highest for any Eshoo challenger in decades. Rishi’s November 2022 target for victory is a total of 150,000 votes.
Anna Eshoo supports the shift to privatize senior Medicare with ACO REACH (details here). She has accepted $4.5 million from Pharma/Healthcare companies, Washington lobbyists, and gun systems manufacturers. She’s been bought and paid for by corporate interests - not the people she represents.
Eshoo's support has seen a huge drop For three decades, she routinely got 70% of the vote, but she received only 48% in June's primary — the second worst showing for any Democratic incumbent in CA.
Why the drop? Eshoo’s corruption and appetite for dark money have finally caught up to her. Voters value honesty and integrity: Eshoo claims responsibility for 50 pieces of legislation, but only four of her sponsored bills have become law! It’s time for change!

We agree that the congressional seat could use someone younger with fresh perspective (than Anna Eshoo).
Los Altos Town Crier (October 25th, 2022)She (Eshoo) could face her toughest reelection challenge in 30 years [...] her primary total was the lowest since she won the seat in 1992.
Mark Simon, San Mateo Daily Journal (July, 2022)We are concerned by the donations she (Eshoo) has accepted from the pharmaceutical industry.
Stanford Daily (March 2020)By the way, there’s a rumor Anna Eshoo will not finish her term if reelected. She will resign to give her seat to a person of her own choosing. I hope we don’t see that happen. It’s undemocratic.
Matt Grocott, San Mateo Daily Journal (February 2022)Eshoo's campaigns have pocketed more than $1.5 million from employees of pharmaceutical firms and other health care companies. In Congress, Eshoo has consistently voted in favor of the industry.
The Intercept (October 2018)Anna Eshoo has been in the House since 1993, [...] has done little to serve her district during her 30-year tenure. Four bills have come out of her office. Most were to change the names of post offices.
Matt Grocott, San Mateo Daily Journal (February 2022)At age 78, with 28 years in Congress, there's been whispers that it's time for Eshoo to retire.
Dave Price, Palo Alto Daily Post (April 2021)If I am a Democrat, he (Rishi Kumar) gets my vote.
Matt Grocott, San Mateo Daily Journal (February 2022)Rishi Kumar is the real deal. He will fight for you and will never sell out. Rishi's run is about ethics in politics - he was the first elected official to call for the resignation of San Mateo County's sheriff in the Batmobile case.
