This is a common sight in the north state. Logue and LaMalfa 4x8 signs in close proximity. I am not sure what to make of this. I do know that recently, Dan Logue re-joined the club, and endorsed a whole bunch of incumbents regardless of past history. Logue is...
In the last 24 hours I got two emails: The first shows a very young Gentlemen Jim Nielsen with Pete Wilson advertising a fundraiser. The Email was sent from a Vanessa McCarthy-Olmstead - McCarthy? I'd assume a relation to Kevin McCarthy, the godfather of the...
