In what is shaping up to be a Republican Rout – including Young Kim’s CA40, we get this:

Raths had no business running for Congress, he got Hundreds of Thousands worth of IE’s from Democrat Leaning Groups and now that he lost – he has climbed in bed with them too.

The people that tried to boost Greg Raths in to the top two against Asif Machmood knew what they were doing.

Dear Orange County Mafia – we urge you to stop being xenophobic and instead actually research candidates. See below for today’s lesson in vetting:

WHOOPSIE. Looks like school’s in.

It is times like this in a campaign where the lack of substance in a candidate becomes crystal clear. Matt Rahn vs Kate Sanchez is quite a laboratory for a contrast. Matt Rahn has a PHD and is the mayor of Temecula. Kate Sanchez? See above.

Did Mr. Anti-Government Jeff take gifts from people? (Let alone being over the limit)

Jeff Hewitt has some ‘splainin’ to do. And, we are not talking about the 50 liens and the slew of lawsuits he has been in.

This guy has had nothing but trouble with the FPPC – the campaign finance regulators – because he refuses to file his paperwork. Hey, that sounds a lot like his “successful” business! Worse, he has also been lit up for flaunting the rules as well!

The FPPC fined Hewitt $1,111 for failing to report large contributions as required by law. This occurred on five separate occasions. FPPC Case # 17/00038  Total Penalty: $1,111  Respondent: Jeff Hewitt for State Senate #23 2014; Jeffrey F. Hewitt; David Castaldo, Treasurer Govt Code Section Violated: 84203 (5 separate 24-hour report violations)
FPPC fined Hewitt $4,923 for failing to file required campaign reports and failing to during 24-hour period. Hired Ashlee Titus at Bell McAndrews, Hiltachk. FPPC Case # 2018-000248.  Respondents: Jeff Hewitt for Assembly District 42 2016, Jeff Hewitt, David Castalado, and Wendy Hewitt.
Your intrepid blogger expects more FPPC complaints are to be expected as a result of Hewitt’s failure to file all $1,000 checks or more within 10 days of receipt last year (dozens).
Currently, five formal complaints have been filed with the FPPC against Jeff Hewitt between 2017-2021. As a result, three separate investigations are currently underway. The two other complaints did not result in new investigations, but were added to the current investigations.
Of the five complaints/investigations:
  • two were initiated directly by the FPPC;
  • one was initiated by the Secretary of State;
  • two were initiated by the Franchise Tax Board;
  • BONUS one complaint for violating anti-corruption statutes was initiated by a private party
Another BONUS: Jeff Hewitt also got a warning letter over his conduct from his governor campaign in the failed California Recall of 2021. Hewitt failed to file his form 700 statement of economic interests for his Governor campaign – speaking of transparency.
The five complaints and the three open investigations are listed below.
Jeff Hewitt: 2 pending lawsuits, 5 pending FPPC Cases, 1 Pending Anti-Corruption Case, and 2 liens since being elected. What the hell else is there that we don’t know about yet?

Your intrepid blogger was treated to a complaint letter sent out by Jennifer Beall against the Chair of the Riverside GOP who was rightly outraged that Kate Sanchez’ mailer says, “The Only State Assembly Candidate Endorsed by THE Republican Party”. THE is capitalized for emphasis.

The Chair of the Riverside GOP sent out a letter basically saying, the mailer is deceptive, neither the Riverside GOP nor the CAGOP have endorsed Kate Sanchez and it is dishonest to suggest otherwise.

You’d see the mailer with these words and think that Sanchez was endorsed by the GOP itself. This is the deception in the mailer. Do note the logo of the OCGOP on the mailer, but no indication it is the OCGOP urging you to vote for Kate.

I have been scratching my head as to why Jennifer Beall is out swinging the sword in AD71 when she has a member of the legislature of her own. She draws a six-figure salary working for the California State Assembly? Is she lining up a job in the safe AD71 vs the swing district she currently works in?

In my quest for answers, I did some digging and I found something that suggests why the paycheck may be the biggest issue here.

It seems that Mr. And Mrs. Beall have a lot in common with Kate Sanchez, when it comes to not paying their bills. If I had a $113,000 tax lien, I’d certainly be stressed, maybe so stressed to the point that I too might snap and send bullying letter to the members of the Riverside GOP. Maybe I’d send such a letter in hopes of securing a job with a malleable and extremely flawed candidate for State legislature?

I’d like to think that if I was a current Chief of Staff to a current member of the legislature that I’d be working my butt off to make sure my current Assembly-member boss was re-elected. Absent this possible explanation, it boggles the mind to think of why Jennifer Beall is so focused on electing this failure to the Assembly at the expense of her current member.

Then there is the matter of ethics. I am not sure weather calling BS on a deceptively worded mailer is as unethical as having a gigantic IRS lien.

Note that there have been 9 liens associated with these folks, 2 appear still active.

$176,000 in IRS Liens certainly eclipses the sum total of the laundry list of financial maladies of Kate Sanchez. It appears that the stress of living beyond her means is causing Mrs. Beall to act out against a bunch of good people over an Assembly Race to be part of the super-minority in the California Legislature. There has to be no other explanation for the attempt to bully the Chairman of the Riverside GOP on Kate’s behalf as it is clear from the evidence presented on this blog that Kate has not proven herself to be worthy of such loyalty or extreme measures at all.

It would just be easier for Jennifer Beall to stay focused on her current job to re-elect her current boss, rather than doing what she has done. But, then, that’s just me.

My guess is that Kate Sanchez is getting a cease and desist order from the CAGOP today if she has not already gotten one.

These are the sorts of campaign tricks you have to resort to when you are out of gas and are backed in to a corner. Darryl Issa engaged to call BS on Kate Sanchez, why? See below:

My apologies for the image quality, I had to blow up a very small file. If it is not entirely clear – the bottom line is that the Riverside GOP had to engage Kate Sanchez directly and point out that she claimed in a blast text message that she was the only candidate endorsed by the Republican Party. Similar to how she lies about her background, the statement was deceptive at best as she is not endorsed by either the Riverside GOP or the California GOP. She is only endorsed by the xenophobic OCGOP and then only because of geography, not actual research in to qualifications.

Your intrepid blogger is also aware that the CAGOP has been contacted by multiple people regarding this dishonest campaign tactic by Sanchez.

The bottom line is that Kate is attempting to run to the far right of her opponent and is continuing the lie-infested rampage we have become accustomed to.
