Omar Navarro, 28, says he’s had “enough” of watching California’s liberal politicians let the Golden State and country fall apart.
The young, Latino conservative is challenging left-wing Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) for her seat in the 43rd Congressional District in the 2018 elections.
“When I realized Maxine Waters was my representative, I said, ‘Wow, this person is representing me? How are people electing this person year after year?'” Navarro said. “I started doing research and looking into her background and I did not see one candidate running a legitimate campaign against her in 27 years.”
In an interview with Breitbart News, Navarro said he is tired of seeing “liberal politicians that are running their own districts, their own counties down to the ground. Enough is enough.” He said he’s running in 2018 because “We have to do something about it and I’m not going to let our country fall apart.”
Navarro was born in Inglewood, California and spent a significant portion of his life in Hawthorne and Torrance. He said that played a significant role in his decision to run in the 43rd district against Waters, because he knows the region and its people. The 43rd District includes parts of South Central L.A., Westchester, Playa Del Rey, Torrance, Gardena, Hawthorne, Inglewood and Lawndale.
He resigned from his position serving on the traffic commission in Torrance two weeks ago. This is not his first time running against Waters: Navarro ran against the seasoned congresswoman in 2016.
He had only raised about $3,000 for his initial run against Waters, compared to the $650,000 she spent against him. “But I still got 25 percent of the vote, which was quite humbling to even receive that type of vote with the amount of money I spent.”

Indeed. Take her down, Omar!
Omar bump. This country needs lots of Omars.
Primary the RINOs.
This is one of the few times a wish the President would send out a tweet. Send one out recommending that voters in California give this candidate a fair chance to be heard.
If you like what you hear, send him a donation, and be quick about it!
Remember when KellyAnne recommended that people buy merchandise from Ivanka’s online store? The sales suddenly went way up. The Dems would do the same thing were they in power.
True.
He better have excellent body guards. One thing that would see the Crips and Bloods unify would be to murder him.
He should file as a democrat to have any chance
the unfortunate truth is that it is probably unrealistic to hope to unseat her. she got 80% of the vote last cycle. no telling how many dead people and live dogs voted for her.
If the Repubicans had any guts or brains they would a slew of candidates state wide.Your bound to win a few, maybe more. They would have to keep to a conservative agenda though.......boy that was a weird dream. Repubicans actually acting like conservatives... rediculous !
When does a batter ever come to the plate striving not to hit it over the fence? It was unrealistic to think an economics professor could win against the sitting house majority leader.

RICHMOND, Va. — It wasn’t enough that Eric Cantor spent $1 million in the weeks leading up to the election, when his primary opponent hardly had $100,000 in his campaign coffers.
It didn’t matter that the House majority leader, 51, branded Dave Brat a liberal hack, and himself as the guardian of the Republican creed. On Tuesday night, Cantor, who was swept into the majority leader’s suite in a tea party wave, was swept out by the same movement.
Cantor conceded the race around 8:25 p.m. — shortly after the Associated Press pronounced Cantor’s 13-year political career at least temporarily over. With nearly 98 percent of precincts reporting, Brat had 55 percent of the vote, while Cantor had 44 percent. People close to Cantor said internal polls showed him hovering near 60 percent in the runup to the race.

Omar needs to spend the money to go sit with David Brat so as to understand his method.

Does he live in the district? That should be a winning comment.
How do I contribute?
