Michael Masuda for Congress

I spent years inside the federal government getting things done. Not talking about it. Doing it.

That meant working across agencies & governments, learning what each one actually cares about, and figuring out how to move things through a system designed to slow you down.

I left because I could see the damage being done from the inside. Hardworking, dedicated public servants fired by billionaires who don't understand and don't *care* to understand how our government works, how to make it better, or the harm they cause to regular people.

The valley, foothill and mountain communities don't need another career politician explaining why something can't be done. They need someone who will do the hard work to get it done.

I'm an engineer, not a politician. And I'm ready to get to work.

Thirteen American service members are dead. Gas prices have jumped nearly $1.50 per gallon. Inflation ate every pay raise working families earned this year. I have met cancer patients on Medi-Cal afraid of losing their healthcare, teachers with over 40 kids in their classroom, seniors and veterans struggling with homelessness, entire communities terrified they will be burned to the ground, Main Street businesses struggling to stay open, and families who can’t pay the bills. And instead of addressing these issues, we just spent tens of billions of taxpayer dollars on a foreign war that has done nothing to make America safer.

Now, the President has signed a deal that the American people have not yet seen. And through all of it, Tom McClintock lets this war run on. No vote of Congress. No vote of Congress & no plan.

Members of both parties stood up and said the Constitution is clear. Congress decides when America goes to war. And yet, Tom McClintock sided with the people who started it.

President Trump has lost this war, and it has cost all of us dearly.

The Italian Picnic grounds hold a special place in my heart. It is where my wife and I were married, it's where we went to sober grad getting out of highschool, and it's where I spent countless hours at festivals enjoying our community.

Join me to walk in the parade this Sunday! We are meeting at 9:30 that morning to get everyone ready. For information on walking with us, please reach out to [email protected]

Putting the needs of our communities first shouldn't be a big ask. But for far too long we've been ignored by our Representative. If you can't be bothered to show up, you don't deserve to represent us.

It's time for a change.

I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious 💪🗳️💙

I began my campaign just under a year ago because I saw my community in need of leadership. I couldn't sit by for one more year while people like Tom McClintock rubber stamped an agenda that has led to crippling tariffs, reckless wars, wildfire disasters, and continuously keeps the people of CA5 struggling under the weight of an affordability crisis. I don't need to ask if people are better off today than they were last year. I know that most of us aren't, but I also know that we want more and we deserve more. That energy is what has fueled this campaign. I want to thank all of the volunteers who have given countless hours, phone banking, texting, door knocking, hosting meet and greets, and building a community of excitement that this District sorely needs. Thank you to my small but mighty campaign staff who work around the clock to strategize and execute a winning campaign to take down an entrenched do-nothing incumbent. And most importantly, thank you to my wife and my family for believing in me supporting me and doing the hard work at home while I'm on the campaign trail. I'm looking forward to watching the results rolling this evening with other candidates, supporters and friends at the NVLF watch party this evening!
