Melissa Toomim for Congress
Melissa Toomim, the Republican nominee to represent California’s 36th Congressional District, is a counterterrorism specialist in the propaganda narratives of extremist movements. She holds an MA in Nonproliferation and Terrorism from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies. Prior to that she spent many years as an investigative journalist and documentarian covering Afghanistan and Pakistan. Toomim, is an ancient Hebrew word meaning integrity. That heritage is her guide star. After the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle, Melissa began working with Operation Freedom Birds, providing humanitarian relief and identifying Afghans and Americans trapped in Afghanistan. She was instrumental in providing a three-month supply of food to a large family hiding from the Taliban. She embraced that family’s survival as her personal responsibility. She will embrace the needs of the people of Los Angeles County and California with the same level of personal commitment.
It doesn’t take a master’s degree to see that our communities here in LA County are in a world of hurt. More than two million Californians have left to build lives in other states. Melissa refuses to leave. She has chosen to stay and dedicate herself to serving Los Angeles and California, both in Washington and here at home.
LOCAL CONTROL
To those of you still coping with the chaos and devastation wrought by the Palisades Fire, please know this, I don’t just stand with you, I will help you in every way I can to achieve independent status.
Had Pacific Palisades been an independent city when the Santa Ana winds blew in this past January, you would have had a greater ability to protect yourselves and your community from catastrophe. It is my firm belief that no one makes that many catastrophic errors by accident.
THE 1ST AMENDMENT IS KEY TO ENDING RUNAWAY PRODUCTION AND REINVIGORATING LA AS THE ENTERTAINMENT CAPITOL OF THE WORLD, BRINGING BACK AEROSPACE, EXPANDING TECH AND ATTRACTING OTHER INDUSTRIES
For America to remain a light unto the world, we must protect our First Amendment freedoms to speak, write, worship, assemble and peaceably petition our government. Freedom is not merely a meme.
HOMELESS SOLUTIONS
END CRONYISM AND CORRUPTION AND EMPLOY A MULTI-PRONGED APPROACH TO SOLVING THE HOMELESS CRISIS\
There is no one-size-fits-all solution for solving the crisis of homelessness in Los Angeles.
There are tens of thousands of homeless individuals in LA County, but reentry transitional housing, tiny homes and shelter beds number only in the hundreds. We have thousands of former prisoners, people who are mentally ill, runaway children and adults escaping abuse and thousands of others whose lives have been devastated by the economic effects of Los Angeles County’s overly harsh CoVid19 lockdowns. More must be done, but throwing good money after bad will only continue to enrich participants in the “homeless industrial complex,” while doing little to help people in need.
MELISSA TOOMIM STAND UNEQUIVOCALLY WITH ISRAEL
I became politically active because the incumbent in District 36, Ted Lieu, has demonstrated his support for HAMAS time and time again throughout his political career. That man does not represent me. I will always vote to support Israel in her fight against Jew hating Islamists.
Around the world, HAMAS supporters often expose their true agenda, shouting “Khaybar Khaybar,” a chant invoking the massacre of a Jewish village. Khaybar, Khaybar Chant at NYC Nakba Protest – YouTube. The incumbent gives lip service to supporting Israel, but his actions speak louder.
I will always stand unequivocally with Israel.
An Anti-Semite on the Anti-Semitism Task Force
While in the California Senate, Lieu supported HAMAS’ desire to punish Lowe’s Hardware over its advertising choice.
In 2019, in response to multiple antisemitic Tweets by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, Jewish Members of the House of Representatives attempted to pass a resolution condemning antisemitism. Omar is a prominent member of CAIR and was the headliner for a 2019 CAIR-LA event. Ted Lieu chose to help convert the resolution condemning antisemitism into a resolution condemning Islamophobia, as well.
That same year, Lieu invoked the old anti-Jewish trope of dual loyalty against America’s Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman.
Contact me, Melissa, directly. I’d love to hear from you.
