Liccardo's campaign said the Democratic House leadership on Nov. 6 called to invite him to fly to Washington D.C., to meet with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

The county Registrar of Voters office reported 419,345 mail ballots counted as of Nov. 3

The debate at the end of the first week after ballots were mailed to registered voters was combative but offered voters few real differences of opinion between the progressive Evan Low and the moderate Sam Liccardo.

The 16th Congressional District debate on NBC Bay Area/KNTV, Telemundo 48/KSTS, and KQED had been scheduled for Oct. 3, but it was canceled when Liccardo withdrew less than seven hours before the event, citing laryngitis.

Defend the Vote said that Low’s state campaign committee is funded through money that is not permitted to be spent in federal elections, and that he is using impermissible funds on federal campaign ads.

On the first survey question posed to likely 16th District voters, Liccardo leads Low 42% to 28%, according to a memo from the pollsters. The margin of error is plus or minus 4%.

These new numbers continue the trends set by Sam Liccardo in the first quarter, and are sharp indicators of the uphill battle that Evan Low faces in his bid for the prized Silicon Valley congressional seat.

Former San Jose mayor's campaign says he continues to dominate 16th Congressional District fundraising, endorsements, as well as polls.

Defend The Vote has filed an FEC complaint against Charlene Nijmeh for illegal coordination, breaking transparency laws, and accepting illegal in-kind contributions.

The PAC already has endorsed 54 House candidates, and today's announcement opens doors for national contributions to the Liccardo campaign.

California Secretary of State Shirley Weber today posted a revised Statement of Vote for the March 5 primary.

One additional vote from San Mateo County today added to Evan Low's four-vote margin in Santa Clara County, giving him a five-vote lead over Joe Simitian, good for the second spot on the November ballot with frontrunner Sam Liccardo, the former San Jose mayor.

Sam Liccardo urged his fellow candidates – and the public – to embrace the results of the 16th Congressional District recount.

The counting process exploded into a controversy involving political action committees, campaign surrogates, the Federal Election Commission, members of Congress and the counting of previously discarded ballots.

While former San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo’s 8,200-vote margin means he is a shoo-in for the top spot on the ballot, the recount could change the unprecedented tie between Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian and State Assemblymember Evan Low.

Evan Low says, Thanks but no thanks, to the recount, and accuses Sam Liccardo of Trumpian tactics in engineering a recount plot to benefit from a two-man race.
