The El Dorado West Republican Women had a candidate forum for #AD05 that Paletta was a confirmed speaker for. Paletta did not show.
Perhaps this is why:
It looks like Jason Paletta is attempting to walk into the base of support Jonathan Zachreson has/had. While I lampooned Zach because I knew he did not have critical mass, one thing he did have was a couple of education-focused groups on his side.
All this move shows me about Mr. Paletta is that he does not know the lay of the land politically in #AD05 and is untested and undisciplined as a candidate.
But maybe a better explanation for Paletta’s failure to appear to the Eldorado West RWF group is more straightforward… in a recent podcast, he dropped a couple of whoppers.
At 20:20 of the podcast linked, Paletta says, “I am only a Republican because I have to be.”
At 20:40, Paletta says, “Don’t push me as a Republican.” (He says this despite shopping for two congressional districts before settling on #AD05)
This is not exactly someone that cares to interact with his own base. My guess is the El Dorado GOP, who are meeting 2-28-2022 to endorse AD05, will reward Jason appropriately.

Who knows? Are there special rules to "be a Republicans" other than supporting the Constitution and putting America First?
He says this despite shopping for two congressional districts before settling on #AD05 <— but, but, but, don't you support a "carpetbagger" who came North from Southern California after "shopping" for a SAFE SEAT in the 4th Congressional District of California?
All I know is Paletta is from Sutter County area and was/is involved in law enforcement. I have seen him speak, he is one hell of a speaker and uses no notes. Usually in politics when someone speaks without notes they know what they are talking about, have the confidence to do it, understands the crowd they are speaking too and make one heck of a good leader/candidate. That is my view of Jason Paletta.
Aaron, I when to the ‘horse’s’ mouth and asked. Indeed Dan Brown and Chris Bish both asked Jason to run for Congress. But that was before we knew the new districts and he would but gerrymander out of the Yolo Districts. Besides, its a County Chairs (and their committee’s) job to find good candidates. So I have no problem with Jason Paletta at all!
