Official Profile
Background: Former agriculture instructor + nonprofit ag consultant in Chico, CA. 3-cycle CA-01 D nominee: lost 2018 to LaMalfa 56.1-43.9; lost 2020 ~58-42; lost 6/2/2026 special 61.6 (Gallagher-R) — Denney 18.4 / 20,500 votes. Now running Nov 2026 general on redrawn CA-01 (D+10) against Mike McGuire (D) + James Gallagher (R).
CA-01 D CHALLENGER (3-cycle nominee) — substantial policy content. HARD FALSEs (cited): sanctity_of_life q4 (EMILY's List endorsed 11/2025); biblical_marriage q2 'I stand proudly and unapologetically with the LGBTQ+ community, including transgender and gender non-conforming people' + q4 ('From LGBTQ+ rights to racial justice'); border_immigration q0 (denounced Trump enforcement, called for 'drastic overhaul of ICE') + q1 (opposes enforcement causing 'fear and disruption'); self_defense q1 EXPLICIT — campaign Issues page: 'Expand Gun Violence Protection Orders (GVPOs), allowing families to petition courts to temporarily remove firearms' = literal red-flag-law platform. HETERODOX-D HARD TRUEs (cited): foreign_policy_restraint q2 ('yes' when asked if Israel is committing genocide in Gaza; questions Israel aid); q3 (Track AIPAC endorsement — anti-AIPAC); industry_capture q2 ('I want to help change from favoring large corporate farmers to putting family farmers in rural communities at the center'). SOFT TRUEs: foreign_policy q0 ('True national security is not built by bombs. It is built through diplomacy') + q1 (Peace Action + Organize for Peace endorsements, denounced Venezuela incursion); industry_capture q3 (regenerative-ag advocate, family-farm-centered policy — though no specific raw-milk/USDA-overreach quote); economic_stewardship q4 (anti-corporate-PAC, 'corporate greed is entrenched' — alignment is from progressive left, not Christian-conservative, but lines up with anti-financial-cartel position). NULL across family/child sovereignty (no school choice, parental notification, CRT/SOGI/porn AV, faith-based adoption record), christian liberty, economic q0-q3, election integrity, border q3/q4, self_defense q3/q4, foreign q4, industry q0/q1/q4. Notable endorsement absences: NO Planned Parenthood, Sierra Club, J Street, or Everytown — unusual gaps for a progressive D.
