In this explosive episode of the Truth Hurts Show, Dory Benami announces his run for Congress in California’s 32nd District and explains why he’s taking on a 30-year incumbent in one of the most politically entrenched states in America.

From the mass exodus of wealth leaving California to the rise of the homeless industrial complex, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what’s really happening inside the Golden State. Dory breaks down why 90% vote-by-mail changes the political game, how party insiders protect career politicians, and why challenging the establishment won’t be a fair fight.

Born in Israel, raised in the San Fernando Valley, and formerly working in Hollywood and Democratic campaigns, Dory explains why October 7th became a turning point — and why he believes the Democratic Party is dangerously drifting away from its core values.
