If Republicans want to keep this seat in conservative hands, they should reject the candidacy of a recycled career politician who has done little to nothing during his 25-year career in politics. The 2nd District deserves better than a candidate who just months ago lost a winnable race, handing a State Senate seat to the liberal left. The 2nd District deserves better than a candidate with no path to victory because of his lack of real-world experience and real-life struggles. The 2nd District deserves better than a candidate who offers nothing but embarrassing headlines due to his covering up of sexual abuse.
The OC GOP is fractured, it is disorganized, and divisive. They have the incessant ability to lose more winnable races than achieve victories. Under the current OC GOP leadership, you are seeing this across the County. If the OC GOP endorses a candidate, it is often best to look the other way because there is likely a more qualified Republican on the ballot.”
Thank you Don Wagner and Andrew Do for leading Orange County away from the cliff and selecting the top fundraiser and a fresh face for Orange County.
