Police responded to a call Monday after broken windows and vandalism on the outside wall were discovered at the campaign headquarters for congressional Democratic candidate Andrew Janz, his team said.
In a press release, Janz’s campaign said the property owners in Visalia, Calif., make the call to police and that an unknown number of suspects stole the office phone. It is uncertain if any other objects were taken, the campaign added.
“The Visalia Police Department has responded to the break in of our office and are currently investigating. I appreciate their quick and professional response,” Janz said in a statement Monday. “While the threats of violence on our property and to ourselves continue on this campaign, I encourage my supporters and every Central Valley resident to stay focused on the important issues that bring our community together. I have faced down threats from gang members in open court, my family and I have been under police protection during trials, it will take more than a few broken windows to stop the amazing grassroots support of this campaign.”
Janz, who is running against House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., in the 2018 midterm elections, solicited donations on Twitter to help repair the building.
