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 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%.

Low's Silicon Valley constituents could lose tens of millions of dollars in local tax revenues if Gavin Newsom signs a bill that allows casino-owning tribes to sue private card rooms, their competitors.

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.

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

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

Op-Ed: We must respect whatever findings that elections officials reach in the recount of ballots in the 16th Congressional District.

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.

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.

Because of a tie vote for second place, voters in November will choose from among three candidates for the coveted Silicon Valley congressional seat: former San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, Santa Clara Supervisor Joe Simitian and state Assemblymember Evan Low.

Joe Simitian was ahead of Evan Low by five votes Monday evening, after a week of seesaw results. The eventual winner of the race will be decided by how many of the remaining 1,000 voters who mailed in unsigned ballots show up before 5 pm Tuesday, April 2 to sign their ballots.

Weekend processing of ballots by voters who were same-day registrants and the results of challenges to others could leave the race to be Sam Liccardo’s opponent in November a virtual dead-heat.
