DCCC Statement on Repeat Loser Candidate Kevin Lincoln’s Entrance to CA-13 Race

“Kevin Lincoln can run for Congress wherever he wants, but he can’t run from his record of skyrocketing housing and utility costs, rampant crime, and taxpayer-funded perks for himself. Adam Gray wins tough races because he knows every inch of the Valley, shows up, and delivers. Voters here trust that Adam is focused on getting results for their families in Congress – not chasing political ambition. That’s why he’ll win again next November. ”

A Quick Reminder on Lincoln’s Record as Mayor of Stockton:

• Lincoln campaigned on a platform of promoting public safety as mayor – yet crime skyrocketed under his tenure and his mismanagement of law enforcement resulted in staff shortages and lower pay for local officers.
• Lincoln has already made life more expensive for working families. As mayor, housing rental and utility prices for water and wastewater dramatically increased.
• Lincoln spent millions that could have gone to repair roads and tackle homelessness on lavish updates for a sports arena and millions more in taxpayer dollars renovating his office in City Hall.
• Lincoln is extreme and anti-choice. He refused to answer whether he supported restricting abortion access for military service members, celebrated the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and called himself “pro-life.”
