Riordan Helps Latinos Connect With GOP, and Some Personal Thoughts

Today, the L.A. Daily News highlights a new radio ad push by former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan to help Latino voters better connect with the Republican Party.

Riordan, who served as Mayor of Los Angeles from 1993-2001, earned as much as 60% of the Latino vote throughout his tenure as mayor of the nation’s second largest city.

Despite an unsuccessful gubernatorial run in 2002, Riordan continues to remain a pillar within the Republican Party — and he understands the need to include in this all-important demographic into our party.

Wonk Wire: News for Public Policy Geeks

Earlier this month, Taegan Goddard — a nationally respected politico — publicly launched Wonk Wire.

Congressional staffers, policy advisors, and think-tankers can rejoice in this site, for sure. Continue reading

The full text of the 1856 Platform follows. Continue reading

T.J. Zane: Another Great Choice for AD77 Central Committee

ImageI’ve come to know T.J. Zane over the last few years through my involvement with our local San Diego Republican Party. Not just a caring family man, but as President and C.E.O. of the Lincoln Club of San Diego County, his leadership on fiscal reform efforts within the county have been successful and second-to-none.

T.J. is third on the ballot for Republican Central Committee voters within the 77th Assembly District. I’ve proudly voted for him, and encourage you to do so as well.

For more information, please check his SmartVoter profile here: http://www.smartvoter.org/2012/06/05/ca/sd/vote/zane_t/

Early Voting Starts Today!

If you live within Assembly District 77 and are registered Republican, I’d be honored to have your vote!

(Note: The “X” by my name was purely to show emphasis. I did vote for a full slate of 6 candidates, myself included of course.)

Smart Voter Profile

Every election season, the California League of Women Voters maintains the SmartVoter.org website, an incredible resource for voters to learn more about their candidates for particular offices. It serves as a resourceful tool for candidates as well, to provide  our information to the voters at no cost.
