Brandon Fricke, fiancé of Fox News commentator Tomi Lahren, has announced he is running for Congress as an independent against Democratic incumbent Ted Lieu, a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, in California’s 33rd Congressional District. The heavily Democratic district covers much of the Los Angeles County coastline and includes communities such as Beverly Hills, Malibu, Santa Monica, Brentwood, Bel Air, Westwood, and Venice.
“The sight of tents, trash, feces and needles littering our public spaces has become ordinary,” Fricke said in his announcement video. “We must not only show compassion for the disadvantaged, but for the hard-working constituents who abide by the laws and are just trying to live their lives in the district that we all fell in love with.”
