The top Republican vote-getter in the June primary
HE RAN AGAINST ERIC JONES.
NOW HE’S VOTING FOR HIM.
Ray Riehle won more Republican votes than anyone in California’s 4th District in June. He is not on your November ballot, and he is not asking anyone to change parties. Forty seconds, in his own words.
READ THE TRANSCRIPT
Hi, I’m Ray Riehle. Thank you for voting for me as the top Republican in June.
Unfortunately, I was 3,110 votes short of winning a place on the November ballot.
I’m proud to endorse Eric Jones for Congress.
I challenged Eric to stand for fiscal discipline, lower costs, local infrastructure, and political accountability. He listened, he engaged, and he agreed.
Eric will put people ahead of party politics and establishment interests.
Please join me in voting for Eric Jones for Congress. Let’s put people ahead of politics.
until polls close in the 4th District. Ballots land in mailboxes weeks earlier.
In this district, a vote for Eric Jones is a vote against the Democratic establishment.
It is the only vote on this ballot that is. Leaving the line blank is not a protest — it is a vote for the machine, cast by default.

NOBODY IS ASKING YOU TO CHANGE YOUR MIND.
Only to use the one vote you get in this race against the establishment that drew it.

YOU’RE IN.
We’ll email when ballots drop in — and not much else. The next useful thing you can do is tell one Republican or independent neighbor that this race is still live.

TWO NAMES. ONE PARTY. ONE REAL CHOICE.
California sends the top two finishers to November whatever party they belong to. In the 4th District, both are Democrats. If you registered Republican or independent, this is the race where your vote is worth the most — and the one most often left blank. Mark a box and see what each choice does.

UNITED STATES REPRESENTATIVE · 4TH DISTRICT
VOTE FOR ONE
MARK A BOX
Pick any of the three. Nothing is submitted — this is a sample ballot, and we’ll say plainly what each one does.
WHAT THAT BOX ACTUALLY DOES
THAT IS A VOTE AGAINST THE ESTABLISHMENT.
Not a party switch. You stay registered exactly as you are and keep every position you hold. You have simply used the one vote you get in this race to take a safe seat away from the machine that drew it.
THAT IS A REAL CHOICE
MADE ON PURPOSE — AND THAT’S THE POINT.
We’re not asking you to agree with us. We’re asking that this seat be decided by the people who live here rather than the people who drew the district. You just did that. Read both records first — that’s the whole request.
WHAT A BLANK LINE DOES
IT ISN’T A PROTEST. IT’S A TRANSFER.
The race still gets decided — just by everyone else. In a two-Democrat general, the voters who skip this line are disproportionately Republicans and independents, so the seat is settled by the establishment’s own base. A blank line is a vote for the establishment. It just doesn’t feel like one.
Who we’re backing in CA-04
A BETTER
WAY FORWARD
Eric Jones is a Democrat running against his own party’s machine — on fair districts, fiscal discipline, plain truth, and treating opponents like neighbors.
You do not have to agree with him about everything. The question on this ballot is narrower than that: one of these two names is the establishment, and one of them is running against it.
WHAT HE COMMITTED TO RAY
“I challenged Eric to stand for fiscal discipline, lower costs, local infrastructure, and political accountability. He listened, he engaged, and he agreed.”
Ray Riehle · in his own words
WHAT THAT MEANS ON THIS BALLOT
- Fiscal discipline — spending you can audit
- Local infrastructure, funded and finished
- Wants California’s independent citizens’ commission restored
- Would ban mid-decade redistricting — in every state, red and blue
- Answers to Republicans and independents, not just his base
- Rejects personal attacks and politics built on division
Ray Riehle opposed Proposition 50. Eric Jones wants California’s independent citizens’ commission put back in charge of the maps. They start from different places and land in the same one: politicians should not be drawing their own districts.
What we stand for
THREE THINGS, IN ORDER
01
NO MORE GERRYMANDERING
Voters should choose their representatives. Politicians should not choose their voters.
Power should never be protected by drawing voters into convenient districts. We support fair, competitive districts and a system where every community has a meaningful voice.
02
NO MORE POLITICS AT ANY COST
Political decency isn’t weakness. It’s leadership.
Winning should never matter more than doing what is right. California needs leaders who can disagree without demonizing one another and govern without treating half the state like the enemy.
03
NO MORE SACRAMENTO INSIDER POLITICS
Sacramento was built to serve Californians. Now it mostly serves itself.
The same insiders draw the maps, protect their allies and attack anyone who challenges the status quo. We’re saying enough is enough.
We are not against Democrats.
We are against the Democratic establishment.
Millions of Californians are Democrats. Millions are Republicans. Millions are independent. Most have one thing in common: they are tired of being told what to think by political insiders.
