Civic Engagement Taskforce Forum: Melissa Toomim for Congress

Melissa Toomim

In California's newly designed 36th Congressional district, an independent journalist and researcher is taking on Lyin' Ted Lieu. Lieu has been an eyesore in the Westside for ten years now, and he is still holding on, pushing pro-terrorist propaganda while holding up costly progressive regulations and anti-constitutional edicts on the voters of the South Bay and Santa Monica.

I can't wait to get rid of that guy. 

Unfortunately, in the last election cycle a shameless grifter named Joe Collins ran for Congress, pushing out a qualified conservative candidate named Derrick Gates: a pastor who had been ministering to the poor and homeless throughout the country for years, then settled in spiritually troubled California to make the difference. Collins was running to make consultants rich. He didn't put out yard signs. He didn't debate with anyone. He was just grifting, then he moved to Texas to run for state rep, where he lost badly to a real Texas conservative. Good riddance to that guy.

And now we have Melissa Toomim!

She announced her bid for Congress fairly early, to her credit.

I first met her at a meeting of the South Bay Republican Woman Federated in Torrance, CA in September 2023. She was collecting signatures in early for her Congressional bid, so that she would qualify for the ballot.

I was glad to see her launching her campaign as soon as possible, since too many Republicans do not get started soon enough, and then they fail to get into the general election.

She had some novel ideas, as well, on rolling back the surveillance state and treating individuals who refuse vaccines as a protected class under the Civil Rights Act.

And she was the only Congressional candidate who had the courage to show up and debate for the 36th Congressional District seat.

Here is her opening statement at the Civic Engagement Taskforce Forum:

             

She did a lot of research and investigative work in to terrorist groups, and she found out that the current Congressman Lyin' Ted was connected with these groups. Let's not forget that Lieu supported giving terrorist-sponsor Iran lots of money to appease them from building nuclear weapons (which has not worked).

Check out below her answers to other questions at the forum.

She goes into greater detail why she decided to run for Congress:

            

To her credit, she helped Dr. Kenneth Wright when he was challenging Ted Lieu, in large part because no one else had the guts to step up and take on that corrupt progressive. Toomim made it clear to the audience that she is a team player, not seeking to be the center of attention but rather focused on doing what is best for everyone else.

Kenneth Wright left the GOP in 2020, and he did not advance to the general election that year. I mentioned the failed grifter Joe Collins earlier.

She also pointed out her interest in focusing on federal issues: stopping illegal immigration and international terrorism. She knows these threats, and she understands what it takes to stop them.

She also talked about economic issues:

            

It's time to cut the regulations, and it's time to restore a more welcoming atmosphere for the entertainment industry. I really liked that she talked about the attacks on freedom of speech as well as crime.

This was my favorite response from Melissa Toomim:

                

Here, she had the courage to talk about the gender attacks on boys and men, particularly in education settings. She has the novel knack to point out serious concerns in public policy, ones which too many people in government and think-tanks are content to ignore.

Good for her! Boys, men, and masculinity are under attack like never before, and she called that out!

She also talked about education:

             

And she made some great points about infrastructure issues in Los Angeles County:

             

She faced a distinct challenge when answering some of these questions, because of the subject matter does not necessarily fall under federal authority, like improving education, but she did her best.
