Progressive Democrat for U.S. Congress · CA-15
Fight for
What’s Right
Disabled US Marine Corps combat veteran. Harvard graduate. Gold Star Family. Whistleblower.
No corporate PACs. No super PACs. No billionaire donors. Just a dude from Belmont who has had enough.
TAKE BACK WHAT IS OURS
About Anthony
Not a politician. A public servant.
I grew up in Foster City and I currently live in Belmont with my wife Anne, who is also a Marine Corps veteran, and our two boys.
My brother Andrew was killed in action in Ramadi, Iraq, back in 2004, when I was 18 and still in high school. I enlisted in the Marine Corps the next day. Two years later, I was in Iraq myself. I got shot, survived two IED blasts, and lost close friends. I came home disabled, mentally broken, and cast aside by society.
I started at community college, went to UCSD, and then Harvard where I got my Master’s in Public Administration. I built veteran nonprofits, worked at the Pentagon, and then spent years in defense doing financial oversight for one of the biggest defense contractors in the country. I found problems with the entire industry and called them out. The retaliation cost me my career. I was featured in a More Perfect Union exposé about waste in the defense industry.
My dad is a Vietnam War refugee. My mom is Mexican-Native American. My son is autistic and the system is not built for families like ours. I’m not rich or politically connected. I’m pretty much just a dude in Belmont with a Harvard degree and a strong opinion that this district and all Americans deserve better.
The Platform
Where I Stand
Government should serve people, not corporations, billionaires, or the politically connected. Every position here is grounded in something I have actually lived through.
Housing & Cost of Living
The median household income in San Mateo County is $159,000 and people still can't afford to live here. We let housing turn into an investment vehicle instead of something people actually live in. Corporate landlords are squeezing our communities dry.
Read moreGovernment Accountability
We are watching the most brazen looting of the American government in modern history. I blew the whistle on fraud at a major defense contractor. I know where the money goes, who is stealing it, and what it takes to make them stop.
Read moreImmigration
My dad is a Vietnam War refugee. In a district where roughly 25% of the population is Hispanic and over 30% is Asian, the weaponization of federal agencies against our communities is not abstract. It is personal.
Read moreEducation & Childcare
Teachers can't afford to live where they teach. Childcare costs rival mortgage payments. I have a son who is autistic and I have seen firsthand how hard families have to fight just to get the services their kids are legally entitled to.
Read moreHealthcare
Healthcare in this country is designed to extract maximum profit from people at their most vulnerable. Nobody should go bankrupt because they got sick. Nobody should ration insulin. Healthcare is a right, not a revenue stream.
Read moreClimate & Environmental Justice
Corporations spent decades hiding what they knew about climate change while buying enough politicians to block every regulation. We need to move from an economy built on extracting energy to one built on harvesting it, and we need real criminal accountability for the executives who caused this.
Read moreWorkers' Rights & Labor
Wages have been stagnant for decades while corporate profits hit record highs. We need living wages, the right to organize without retaliation, and strong unions to stand up against monopolies and corporate consolidation. The system is built to protect the people at the top. We need to change that.
Read moreDemocracy & Voting Rights
The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act. States are purging voter rolls, gerrymandering districts, and passing laws designed to keep people from voting. Politicians are choosing their voters instead of voters choosing their politicians. We need to take that power back.
Read moreVeterans & Military Families
I came home from Iraq disabled and cast aside. The VA is overwhelmed, benefits processing is a nightmare, and military families are treated as expendable. We owe veterans more than a bumper sticker and a thank-you-for-your-service.
Read moreWhy This Race Matters
CA-15 deserves a representative who answers to voters, not corporate PACs.
Pro-Israel PACs and AIPAC's super PAC have spent over $740,000 supporting the incumbent's campaigns. He has sponsored 24 bills with zero enacted into law. He has missed over three times as many votes as the average House member. He inherited his seat through a political dynasty and paints himself as a progressive while voting like a corporate moderate.
I have no dynasty. No corporate backers. No political machine. I have a combat record, a whistleblower record, and a refusal to shut up about what is broken. You can decide which one of us should represent this district.

As Featured In
More Perfect Union featured my whistleblowing
I appear as the inside source on Pentagon waste and defense contractor profiteering.
Get Involved
I have had to fight for everything I have ever had. I need your help to keep fighting.
No corporate PACs. No super PACs. No billionaire donors. No family dynasty. I’m pretty much just a dude from Belmont running against a political machine with nothing but the truth and whoever shows up to help.
Donate
I can't self-fund this. I'm not rich. The incumbent has corporate PACs and a political dynasty behind him. I have you. Even $5 keeps this thing alive.
Volunteer
I don't have a campaign staff or a political machine. This campaign wins on the ground with real people knocking on real doors. That's it. That's the whole strategy.
Yard Sign
I can't afford TV ads. Yard signs are how this campaign gets seen. If you live in CA-15, throw one on your lawn or in your window. It's free.
Share
Talk to your neighbors. Post about this race. You are the campaign. Word of mouth is how grassroots campaigns compete against corporate money.
