Ex-OneRepublic Bassist Tim Myers Announces Run for California House Seat Held By Longtime GOP Rep.: ‘Status Quo Isn’t Working’

Former OneRepublic bassist Tim Myers has announced his run for the California House seat held by a longtime GOP Rep.: 'Status Quo Isn't Working.'

Former OneRepublic bassist and prolific writer/producer Tim Myers is throwing his hat in the political ring in an attempt to oust a longtime GOP member of the California House of Representatives delegation. Grammy-nominated Democrat Myers announced his intention to run in an Instagram video posted on Thursday morning (April 17) in which he told the story of growing up a pastor’s son in Corona, CA, “who learned how to stretch a dollar” and then “made it big” in his music career. Though most House races around the country are increasingly not competitive these days, Democrats believe that Calvert’s closely-held seat might be their best chance to pick up a win in the chamber where the GOP currently holds a thin 220-213 majority.
