The latest democratic contender of the Republican Republic Kevin Kili may be even better known to voters in the Sacramento area than the two-time congressman, which is the region since 2023.

Dr. Richard Pan, trained at Harvard Pediatrician and a former State Senator who made national titles for California’s leading effort to remove Religious and “personal beliefs” release the vaccine mandates, announced their candidacy for the 3rd Congress County in California on Tuesday.

Pan and Democrats across the country hope to keep Republicans as Kili responsible for the support of President Donald Trump’s Megabil, who over the next 10 years will lead to approximately 10 million Americans to lose health coverage under the Act of Care Act, under the Care Act A non -party budget office of CongressS

“We see a federal government that seems to be deliberately attacking healthcare, whether it takes health insurance, undermining public health to allow the disease to spread by cutting research on things like cancer treatment,” Pan told Calmatters in an interview.

“As a pediatrician, I have really spent my life trying to keep the children and their families healthy,” he added. “I run for Congress to make sure we can protect people healthcare.”

Pan joins the Democrats Tyler Vandenberga veteran of marine infantry and Former “Danger!” winnerand Heidi HallEnvironmental and Nevada County Head, who launched campaigns against Kili earlier this year.

Proposal 50 would process the area

The Kili area is one of the five that would shift in favor of the Democrats if the voters of California have approved a plan for the Gerimander Congress regions of the state next month – Known as a proposal 50S

While the area is currently covering much of the border of California-Nevada and is largely rural, wooded areas, the new place will cover many of the eastern neighborhoods and suburbs of Sacramento, including the Pravn, Rancho Cordov and Folsum. The new neighborhood will also include Grass Valley, Truckee and the California Lake Tahoe, as well as the Eldorado National Forest.

Kili, who has marked himself as a Republican foil by Gavard Gavin Newo, is a vowel opponent of prop. 50 and accused the governor of being focused on his place for trying to “be protected from California in Congress, eliminating the state ban on cars powered by gases and a high -speed federal railway function.

“There is a reason for Newsom to send their own employee to run against me last year,” Kili wrote on social media last monthReferring to Democrat Jessica Morse, “and now I have made me the number one goal of his redistribution shame.”

Pan, a resident of Sacramento, who supports the prog. 50, previously represented about 70% of the voters who live in what the new area will become, according to his campaign.

By challenging Kili, whom Pan is characterized by a “rubber seal” for the Republicans of the home and the Trump agenda, Pan hopes to serve as a check of the White House of Trump and a former enemy of its owner, Minister of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

PAN began to insist on eliminating religious and personal releases of the requirements for a school vaccine after public health experts tracked the origin of the measles outbreak in 2014 to an unvacked traveler in Disneyland. His 2015 bill and the subsequent measure in 2019 to strengthen this initial law have ignited the anti-vaxine activist allies of Kennedy and prompted harassment of opponents, threats of death and physical violence Against the then State Senator.

“He even threw me blood and attacked me on the street, but I did not retreat,” Pan told the bills he was running, which ended the religious and personal releases of beliefs about the requirements for school vaccination. He said the Americans “must be very alarmed and concerned and worried” by Kennedy’s management.

The son of Taiwanese immigrants, Pan said he was running for the state assembly for the first time in 2010 to turn to the grate he saw in the California government. He said he watched how Local hospitals have struggled to make salaries Because state legislators could not agree on a budget. Now, seeing the same thing in Washington, Colombia County, he said he wanted to make the government “work for the people” again, which he says that Kellie has failed to achieve, although he sometimes pays the lip service of two-partyness and insists on the redistribution of the middle of the country throughout the country.

“Talking is easy,” Pan said. “When pressing is attacked and you reach this bill, in which you can generally choose:” Should I support the president’s program or to protect people in my area? “He chose to support the president’s agenda. “
