California Congresswoman Wants a Truth Commission—Like a Good Little Leftist Authoritarian
By Stacey Lennox
Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-Calif.) is the youngest member of the California caucus in the House, and it shows. At 32, she has gone to college, worked for not-for-profits, and engaged in politics. After running and losing in 2018, she went to a different district in her hometown of San Diego and tried again. This time she got a boost from her tech billionaire grandpa, Irwin Jacobs, the founder and longtime CEO of Qualcomm. Jacobs and his wife are longtime Democrat megadonors and funded a new super PAC called Forward California.
Through the PAC, they funded about $1.5 million of their granddaughter’s campaign. The Qualcomm heiress put in $1.5 million of her own despite never having had a real job that would allow a 32-year-old to have that kind of money lying around. Her apartment is in the Banker’s Hill area of San Diego, where the average home costs over $800,000 and the average rent is $2300. Not bad for a woman whose last gig was running a not-for-profit.
