CAGOP Update: After A Month of Pounding CAGOP Acknowledges More Candidates Exist

It should not take your intrepid blogger calling them out repeatedly to get them to do the right thing for ALL CAGOP nominees.

Do these new CAGOP sanctioned candidate events mean that Mrs. Patterson is going to call and apologize for snubbing Johnnie Morgan?

Someone forwarded me the latest CAGOP Emails. It looks like after at least a month of pounding that CA-21 Candidate David Valadao is finally getting the right time of day from CAGOP “Leadership”.

The news is not quite as good for snubbed CA-45 Candidate Greg Raths. He gets indirect mention in the same CAGOP email. (baby steps I guess…)

Then there was a separate email from AD-73 Candidate Laurie Davies:

FIGHTING FOR OUR CITIES Earlier this week, I participated in a meeting with Supervisor Bartlett and the Mayors and City Managers of the 5th District to discuss the use of the CARES Act funding and advocate for our cities. I am happy to report that our efforts were successful. We were able to get the funds distributed by city population, make those funds grants and not loans, as well as put the small businesses and non-profits into two separate categories so they were not competing with one another. I will always fight for local control and the good of the community. SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESS We would like to inform you about the Small Business Grant Relief Program. This program will support small businesses and organizations impacted by COVID-19 in Orange County Supervisorial District Five, which includes: Aliso Viejo, Dana Point, Laguna Beach, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Laguna Woods, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano, Coto de Caza, Ladera Ranch, Las Flores, and Wagon Wheel. Up to $10,000 will be available to eligible small businesses and non-profits within the district. The application period is open June 19 @ 8:00 AM until June 23 @ 5:00 PM. For more information, visit: ociesmallbusiness.org/ocdistrict5/ Contact SBDC at 1-800-616-7232 or visit: ociesmallbusiness.org. KEEPING THE 73RD DISTRICT SAFE The 73rd Assembly District is one of the safest districts in our state. A majority of our cities are ranked in the top ten safest cities in California. The cities within our district are contracted with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department and I am grateful for their service and dedication to keeping our cities safe. Our Sheriff, Don Barnes, put out a statement earlier this week that included OCSD’s Use of Force Policies and Practices. You can find that document in its entirety here and I encourage everyone to read it. I thank our Sheriff and the men and women of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department for their sacrifice. The residents of the 73rd Assembly District can count on me to work alongside our public safety experts to maintain the security that we value in our great community.

Join Us for a Virtual Campaign Update Monday, June 22, 2020 7:00 PM with special guest California Republican Party Chairwoman Jessica Patterson Please RSVP to: [email protected] for Zoom Call Meeting ID

We’ve written ad-naseum about their effort to Kill Ted Howze (CA-10), but I hear there are some party efforts on behalf of Buzz Patterson (CA-07).

This leaves Andrew Kotyuk (AD-42), Kelly Seyarto (AD-67) Diane Dixon (AD-74) and Janet Nguyen (AD-72) as four competitive candidates the CAGOP continues to ignore. (Remember Nguyen took out Patterson supporter Tyler Diep in the Primary) The above email may be the closest the CAGOP leadership get to acknowledging Greg Raths as well.

Your intrepid blogger is on the case. Diversity includes everyone, including conservatives and people that supported other CAGOP Chair Candidates. We’ll continue monitoring the Oligarchy of Controlled Failure regardless of lines on a map.
