Visalia Campaign Office of Congressional Candidate Andrew Janz Vandalized

 

FRESNO, CA (KMJ) – The Visalia campaign office of Congressional Candidate Andrew Janz was vandalized on Monday.

The property owners discovered multiple windows on the north side of the building on Mooney just North of Tulare Street had been vandalized.

Windows at Andrew Janz’s office and a chiropractic office, next door were broken.

Visalia Police say it took place between 6 p.m. Sunday and 8 a.m. Monday.

The windows had been broken in by an unknown object and used to enter the building.

Janz’s staff said someone took their office phone.

The Democrat is running against incumbent Republican Devin Nunes in the 22nd District race.

In a statement, Janz said, “The Visalia Police Department has responded to the break in of our office and are currently investigating. I appreciate their quick and professional response. 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.”

 

On Twitter, Janz is asking for donations to help repair the windows.

The Visalia Police Department is currrently investigating the incident.
