Our 2026 California Primary Ballot Return Tracker is now live on the Civiq platform⚡️ Here's what it's looking like in the City of Los Angeles as of today⬇️

Just got back from my honeymoon tan, rested, and ready to track CA ballot returns.

The OC Register covered the launch of our new platform, Civiq, with a thoughtful look at how AI is reshaping campaign intelligence in California.

Introducing Civiq by Optiq Data. The first AI powered campaign intelligence platform built for campaigns, public affairs teams, and business advocacy groups operating at scale in California.

Our team has had a lot of late nights go into this project. Excited to share more soon.

A new campaign intelligence platform is arriving in California. Civiq launches on February 10.

CA Senate Pro Tem Mike McGuire officially launches his Congressional campaign for House District 1. As I reported back in August—before he and CALeg put Prop 50 on the ballot—sources told me McGuire had the gerrymandered district drawn for him… kcra.com/article/califo…

New ballot return tracker is live now👀 (and mobile friendly too!)

I’m excited to officially share that I’m starting a new chapter: launching @optiqdata 🚀

California State Senate Elections Committee Chair Sabrina Cervantes refuses to say who specifically is responsible for California's proposed Congressional maps. SC: This is the most transparent process AZ: So then who drew the maps? SC: This is the most transparent process...

"When I go to a restaurant, I don't need to meet the chef." Here's how California Assembly Elections Chair Gail Pellerin responded to repeated questions about who is responsible for CA's proposed Congressional maps. CALeg Democratic leaders refuse to say who exactly.

Californians aren’t seeing new congressional maps first from the #caleg elections committee site. We are finding them in a DCCC PDF. Politicians drew this garbage. This is 100% rigged.

In the Los Angeles-Long Beach CSA, the presidential margin narrowed from Biden +28% (2020) to Harris +18% (2024)—a 10.4% shift right. Trump lost here by ~2.3M votes in 2020 but reduced that gap to ~1.3M in 2024. This Combined Statistical Area is home to the largest Hispanic population in the US (46% of the total population, ~8.6 million people). Here is the election shift mapped by census block group, along with some registration and vote history trends:⬇️

Since the 2020 Census: California: +100K residents (39.4M → 39.5M) Texas: +2M residents (29.2M → 31.2M) Florida: +1.9M residents (21.5M → 23.4M) Congratulations on keeping pace with the margin of error.

I saw like 500 homeless people outside the Capitol this morning on my way to work but ok

Grateful🙏🏼 Back to work now…🧑🏽‍💻📊📈🇺🇸
