| We have already seen the State Party and its Chair, Jessica Patterson send out numerous emails, asking for money. Why? Because Gov. Gavin Newsom is bad and he has to go. We all agree with that.
But, as we found out not a dime has been donated to the Recall, which is actually working to gather petitions to end the reign of Gavin Newsom. I have challenged the Party Board of Directors and Chair Patterson to donate the money she has collected to defeat Newsom to the Recall, for a minimum of $100,000.
For many years some Past California Republican Party Chairs have railed against organizations that raise money for one cause, then spend it on another or don’t tell how they actually spent it. As Chair I will spend the money on the projects I raise the money for, not a dime less.
In doing research (regarding the bait and switch dealing with Newsom and the Recall) I found a couple of other emails, both sent on December 7, 2020. One came in at 10:00am and the second at 2:00pm. Both requested money for saving the two Georgia Senate seats:
| “Georgia needs our help. We’ve sent volunteers to help re-elect Senator Kelly Loeffler and Senator David Perdue. Georgia is getting so much attention from the RADICAL Democrats so desperate to flip the Senate. |
|
|
| We have even more volunteers eager and ready to help secure these two victories in Georgia. The future of our country depends on these races.
Please contribute $50 to help us recruit volunteers to help in the Georgia runoffs. We need to do our part to make sure Republicans maintain control of the Senate.” |
The other, sent four hours later had the exact same language.
I have checked the California Republican Party’s campaign finances. My research shows that the CAGOP has not given a dime to the Georgia Republican Party, either of the two Republican Senate candidates, the McConnell Majority PAC or the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
Now it is too late to donate to help elect two Republican Senators. As a reminder, a complaint was filed against Mike Madrid, a CRP delegate, who endorsed Joe Biden for President. Chair Patterson did not even have a motion to censure him, much less abide by the by-laws and throw him out of the Party. Why do I bring that up now? Because of this, from Nov. 17, 2020. Here Mike Madrid explains how HE is going to defeat the two Republicans in Georgia. See it at the 20:00 minute mark of the interview.
Patterson is protecting Madrid and those trying to defeat Republicans. She raises money by proclaiming the need to win in Georgia. What happens to the money? It does not go to Georgia for the Republican Senators nor to defeat the Democrats including Mike Madrid and his Lincoln Project. What happened to “Taking the Fight to the Democrats?”
Is this the leadership we need going into 2022? We need to reform the GOP.
If you raise money for a cause, give the money to the cause. If a Republican official supports a Democrat for partisan office and works to defeat Republicans, they should immediately put outside the Party—not allowed to use their Party titles and status to harm Republican candidates.

As Party Chair I will represent Republicans. As party Chair I will demand and enforce accountability and transparency in all of our actions.
