Tom Patti, Stockton businessman, San Joaquin County supervisor, and former amateur boxer, is fighting hard to succeed Congressman Jerry McNerney in what news sources say is the Bay Area’s most competitive congressional race. In a district that includes eastern Contra Costa County as well as a large portion of San Joaquin County, Republicans won almost 50% of the votes in a crowded primary, with Patti emerging as the Republican nominee.  

Patti has raised well over a million dollars, qualifying for the National Republican Congressional Committee’s Young Guns program and drawing the attention of Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy. The 9th Congressional District is the only congressional district with Bay Area territory that appears on the Cal Matters list of Hot Races.

After running a successful local business, Tom Patti was elected a San Joaquin County Supervisor in 2016 and reelected in 2020.  As supervisor, he launched a housing project for veterans, secured business projects creating new jobs, arranged funding for a community college apprentice program, accomplished pay equity for county law enforcement officers, and reduced fees that restaurants pay for food delivery services, among other achievements.     . . .  read more

Further, Measure i would place non-citizens on quasi-judicial boards & commissions. The Santa Clara County Republican Party voted unanimously to advise voters to REJECT Measure i. 

San José Measure i consolidates four unrelated recommendations brought to the City Council by the City’s Charter Commission.    . . .  read more
