$200,000 will fund a TV ad debuting Tuesday in Richard Pan’s Sacramento House primary, marking the launch of a new “Stop RFK Jr.” fundraising committee with 314 Action Fund.
Pan’s ad centers on vaccines, highlighting his 2015 California law ending personal-belief exemptions for school shots and his claim that he was later assaulted by an anti-vaccine activist.
314 Action said the broader committee will spend $1.5 million and back additional candidates, aiming to turn Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s vaccine and research policies into a midterm liability for Republicans.
The group argues its polling shows Kennedy’s moves on vaccines and medical-research funding are less popular than other Make America Healthy Again themes, and that MAHA support is narrower than often portrayed.
