PolitiFact California wants to hear your suggestions for a fact check. We are looking for statements made by or about California politicians, state ballot measure campaigns and candidates for office. Make your suggestions as specific as possible, including the name of the person or campaign that made the statement along with when and where it was made. Email us at politifactca@capradio.org or fill in the form below. 

Send us your idea, along with your first and last name, and hometown. We’ll assume you don’t mind us publishing your name and suggestion unless you tell us otherwise.
