Sam Liccardo and Assemblymember Evan Low are vying for a chance to replace longtime U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo .

The mailer features a photo of a candlelight vigil following the shooting with bold text that reads, “When gun terror came to his town, this mayor said enough.'” The advertisement highlights the Bay Area’s deadliest mass shooting that took place in 2021 when a VTA worker opened fire.
