House Speaker to help Republicans in California

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin is heading to California on Thursday to raise money and campaign for House candidates. Ryan will hold 12 events in seven cities over two days. He is expected to campaign with Reps. Jeff Denham, David Valadao and Steve Knight, as well as Scott Jones, who is challenging Rep. Ami Bera.

Ryan has raised nearly $50 million this year and has given more than half of that to help congressional candidates. This month alone, Ryan has held more than 65 events in 17 states.
