The California Republican Taxpayer's Association was started in 2010 as a Front for Abel Maldonado's Campaign for Lt. Governor against Sam Annestad. Maldonado needed a shunt to deflect criticism for selling his vote time and again on massive tax increase budgets....
That headline is not hyperbole. I took the time to start looking in to all the major donors of Young Mr. Kiley's campaign. I knew there was more to this than simple pandering on the Gay Marriage Issue at a Bay Area event. The bundling of the contributions and the...
Something I have not seen in a long time - a three way "Gang Bang" piece. This comes courtesy of Andrew P Pugno. Halldin gets swatted, Cristi Beckstead Nelson gets Punched and Young Mr. Kiley gets Piledriven. Did you know that Kiley was one of Liberal Democrat...
Young Mr. Kiley just reported another $61,000 from Bay Area donors. They are from all over the political spectrum - but most work in the finance and investment industry. It appears that Mr. Kiley's base are wealthy Bay Area donors whose net worth allow them to...
I guess the young man is too young to remember Pete Wilson wrecking the CAGOP with his badly bungled Prop 187 caper. The Ecconomist Penned a devastating piece on Pete Wilson. Pete Wilson also polls terribly here in this district - which is why Kiley's Campaign team...
This is a first. a Mailer that calls a candidate by their nickname. This is different than Dick instead of Richard. Or Jake instead of Jerome... this is Hurricane instead of Kevin. HURRICANE HANLEY GETS THINGS DONE - it says. Hurricanes wreck large swaths of chaos...

There was a reason why Kevin Kiley sandbagged his financial report so he could have a look at everyone else's reports - he needed to try to stop the narrative that he is the Bay Area candidate. Fact - 75% of Kiley's MONEY came from outside the district. In his...
Let's go from the bottom up. Suzanne Jones, has $2500 left. Has lent herself about $10k Kevin Hanley, has a net $54k left. Has bought some radio and some mail. Has only raised about $20k from people not named Kevin Hanley. The first real news is that Cristi Nelson...
This update is 100% to inform the universe to tell them that likely Kiley is writing his press release because he can see everyone's report but his own. The fine for being a day late is pretty minor, just a cost of doing business. Update: Within an hour of this...
Kevin Kiley is a first-time candidate for Assembly. As I have written previously, he is young. 31. Single, never married. He has had 3 jobs in the 4 years he has been removed from Law School. He moved back to Placer County after being away for 12 years and within 2...
