From some background website:

David Reade is 57 years old and was born on 09/09/1964. Currently, David lives in West Sacramento, CA. Sometimes David goes by various nicknames, including David S Reade, David Stafford Reade, and David S Read. We have lots of information about David: religious views are listed as Christian, ethnicity is Caucasian, and political affiliation is currently a registered Republican. David’s personal network of family, friends, associates & neighbors includes Reagan Reade, Laurie Conaty, and Suzanne Reade.   Read Full Summary

Here at Right on Daily, we are proud to affect the public record in such a positive way. David Stafford Reade is the official nickname of the puppet-master per a major background website.

It looks like the little people from the rank and file within the CAGOP won one. While I have no horse in the race, I can not help but recognize that some of the CAGOP are not overrun with political consultants.

The Inyo County Republican Party dual endorsed both Scott Jones and Kevin Kiley. This means that Kiley has gone over the 80% line. The fascinating story about Inyo County was that they had noticing problems with their January meeting, and two of their voting members were unable to participate last month. This month, they did a re-do and endorsed both candidates instead of approving none. This was a devastating blow on two levels to Mr. Reade and company.

The significance of going over 80% is that if you get the endorsements of local parties totaling 80% or more of the district’s population, you are then eligible for a CAGOP endorsement. There is a board meeting of the CAGOP shortly. There has never been a candidate who makes it to 80% who has not been endorsed by the CAGOP. (There have been some un-endorsed, and we’ve written about that as well)

David Reade is sought after to run endorsement or endorsement denial operations because of his extensive history of controlling and rigging groups. It is not often when he fails at such a mission.

I was also informed that Reade has been showing himself in public a lot lately and it is not common as Reade prefers the shadows (part of why Right on Daily writes about him, Gimmecandy and others so often).

I can only conclude that Kevin Kiley has the rank and file of the California Republican Party behind him and that the consultant class has chosen the Sheriff Scott Jones. I have nothing against Mr. Jones at all, but he has allowed himself to become the Mitt Romney of the #CA03 race. This is not a good look for the Sheriff who has plenty to run on.

The first #EPICFAIL award of the 2022 election cycle is awarded to David Stafford Reade. Congrats Kevin Kiley on a hard-fought and against consultant odds (soon to be official) CAGOP endorsement.
