Bio

Greg Wallis, 35, is a former Assembly staffer who won one of the closest legislative races in California history in 2022. A mere 85 votes separated him from his Democratic opponent, Christy Holstege. Faced with the prospect of other tight races, Wallis has taken on a bipartisan tone in his Assembly career, joining the California Problem Solvers Caucus. He’s focused on moderate issues such as improving the economy, reducing crime and creating jobs. Wallis and his wife have two dogs, Gunner and Harley.

Financials

This feature tracks three sources of money intended to help a candidate win election: 1-Money given directly to a candidate’s committee, 2-Money given to an Independent Expenditure Committee, 3-Money given to a political party. (NOTE: Senators are elected every four years. Twenty of the 40 Senators are on the ballot in even-numbered years, so Senators may do little or no fundraising in the first two-year session of their Senate term).

Some contributions are “uncoded,” meaning they have not been assigned to an industry sector. As a result, the total for each sector is also an estimate).
