First of all - all seven candidates were there. Typical of a Republican Primary, there are far too many candidates in the field. Notable, this was the first time Mik Mikaluco and Gabriel Hydrick were at an event that I am aware of. Suzanne Jones was also present at...
At a recent Placer GOP Central Committee meeting, Placer GOP Chairman Dennis Revell was absent and basically handed the floor of the meeting to Ken Campbell to trash Kirk Uhler while Vice-Chairman and deposed former Auburn Council-member Mike Holmes was holding the...
#1 Local Business PAC Endorsement. #2 ONLY Candidate to make the cut for Trailblazers. Excerpted from an Email I received recently: Good morning. I am excited to announce more positive news for the campaign. The Political Action Committee of the Roseville Area...
On the heels of the exposure on this blog, Beth Gaines told the GOP Assembly Caucus at their weekly meeting that she was not running. Why did she have to get publicly humiliated to force her hand? There is no word if Ms. Gaines made an endorsement.
Why is it that the only endorsements he has gotten are the ritual endorsements inside of Orange County? I have written ad-naseum about Scott Baugh's own self-serving angle for running his part of the drill. But - it goes deeper. Most of the GOP organizations inside...
According to the Sierra Sun, Fred Ilfeld is getting slammed with a $2500 fine from the FPPC. It is also clear that they negotiated the fine with the FPPC as well. As of the typing of this blog, Fred Ilfeld still owes the County of Placer $18,000 that he is refusing...

Now Senator John Moorlach is out there spending Prop 63 Bond money now - helping the state incur more debt. This pattern of spending like a drunken sailor is nothing new for John Moorlach. Tom Mauk agreed Thursday to resign as the county’s highest non-elected...
Everything in politics happens for a reason. Such as Scott Baugh’s sudden turn against his long time friend and ally Don Wagner, and his “opening a committee” (wink wink) for the same congressional seat as Dana Rohrbacher and his actions at the central committee...
The stories are legion. I first met Adam Willoughby in late 2007ish when Ted Gaines had betrayed Congressman John Doolittle by filing an exploratory committee against him. Gaines had basically been ushered in to office by a massive effort of local and retiring...
Some may read the title and roll their eyes. Really? Who has moved four times in the last four years to set up runs for office? Beth Gaines. Who has had as many as four separate committees for election set up at the same time? Beth Gaines. So why wouldn’t I draw...
