Doug LaMalfa has taken $4.7 Million in Farm Subsidies - he helped found an organization that hired a Washington D.C. Lobbying firm to thwart Farm Welfare reform in 2007. Now, Doug LaMalfa is being quoted publicly advocating for Farm Welfare. This debate is not...
This weekend was a big victory for Consultants and Moderate Republicans seeking to take over control of the California GOP. We will soon have a laboratory to test if the Moderate vision for the California GOP is a winner. I thought the 2010 election disaster was...
... and an opponent who is loaded for bear. Beth Gaines has done next to nothing since being elected to the Assembly. People are only now starting to see her or staff since she has drawn an opponent. For those that remember, it took coordinated independent...
This is old news. That's ok because my spin on it is not. First off - the incredible article from the Marysville Appeal-Democrat. The quotes are a consultant's dream - if you're Dan Sharp or Kim Vann: “I’m first and foremost a Marine, and a Marine puts country...
It looks like Doug LaMalfa is in trouble. The Redding Record-Searchlight is the largest paper in the CD01 district and they LIT Doug LaMalfa on Fire over the Rice Welfare issue. $300k last year alone! $300K!!! I am sitting here finishing my dinner - L&L Hawiian...
Sutter County's Lincoln Day Dinner was very different from Yuba's. The crowd was smaller and the atmosphere was much more subdued. As opposed to Yuba County where Dan Logue is a rockstar - Sutter County is under the influence of Team Nielsen/LaMalfa. Wally Herger...
I got to see H.L. Richardson speak - wow. At 84 years of age, he is amazing, still. I did not know that Sam Paredes is H.L.'s son-in-law. The attendance at this dinner was phenomenal and I took note of a Monument that the Knights of Colombus placed on the Church...
Doug LaMalfa had a really bad day today. He got lit up for being #9 on the top ten list of Farm Welfare recipients in Northern California by the Redding Record Searchlight and Ryan Sabalow. His response? "This guy is a paid mudslinger," LaMalfa said of Park... LOL!...
Believe it. Linda M Park has made over 20 public appearances in her three-week-old campaign. Placer County and ElDoardo County are getting acquainted with Les Baugh from Shasta County. Endorsements are coming. Checks are being written, we have some races on our...
Best short speech: Kirk Uhler rocked the crowd with his short address. Pam Tobin took suddenly ill and did not make the dinner. (Perhaps her liberal democrat activist consultant and campaign manager did not want to come to the dinner?) Biggest Surprise: Robert...
Believe it. Oh and Beth Gaines abstained. Rico Oller. Abstain. Tom McClintock, Abstain. Dan Logue? Abstain - courageous leadership from Ted Gaines. Liberal Democrat Jennifer Montgomery is running for re-election. We (the Central Committee) recruited an opponent for...
This time is it a former CRA President. I sent out an email detailing how Mike Spence helped thwart a plan to set up a system for California Republican Party Pre-Primary endorsements. The establishment went in to a tizzy to stop it. I am sick and tired of the...
