"The $254,000 that Chispa spent in this year's most expensive U.S. House race barely registers as a drop in the proverbial bucket. Yet, it might prove one of the most consequential sums dropped in Orange County politics in decades."
"Chispa, founded in 2017 to train young Latinos to push for progressive change, will have succeeded outside its base for the first time, showing that O.C. is entering a new political era."
"If Tran wins the incredibly tight race - he's 480 votes ahead of Steel... the first-time candidate will have clawed back a House seat for the Democrats, leaving the once redoubtably red county with one GOP congressmember."
"In the 24 years I've written about my birthplace, I've seen local Latino activists fundamentally transform their attitude toward electoral politics... Now, I'm seeing the latest batch of do-gooders help on successful campaigns or even run for office themselves."
