George Papadopoulos, a former Trump campaign aide who pleaded guilty in the feds’ Russia probe, said Monday he’s running for the California congressional seat vacated by Democrat Katie Hill.
Papadopoulos made the announcement Monday on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” after filing paperwork late last month after Hill resigned amid a probe into allegations that she had an inappropriate relationship with a staffer.
“This is a state with tremendous potential. Unfortunately, the governing apparatus and the party in this state has driven it right into the ground,” Papadopoulos said about California, echoing President Trump’s attacks on the Golden State over its liberal policies.
“I have been living here for over a year and a half, and people every single day, when I go and talk around the districts, the state, the country, they tell me we need a candidate to represent the community that has an America First agenda at heart, that supports the president, and if elected to Congress, would propose and enact legislation that would advance this agenda,” he added, signaling a pro-Trump agenda.
