#AD05 (California) Update: Why is Paletta Dissing the El Dorado West RWF? (Don’t Push Him as a Republican – his words)

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.

The old Jesse Unruh Rule: You will never talk a man out of running for office or getting married. To tell you that this sort of occurrence is exceptionally rare is an understatement.

I am not sure how I feel about this other than to say this will bring in some coin for Joe Patterson’s campaign and it is certainly more than 15,000 Facebook Likes.

I am not sure why Kevin Kiley is not on this list. It sends the wrong message for sure.

Statement From Assembly District 5 Candidate Joe Patterson Regarding Governor’s Maskless Photo Hypocrisy
Rocklin, CA – – Today, Republican Assembly candidate Joe Patterson (AD 5) released a statement regarding Governor Gavin Newsom and the hypocrisy regarding the mask mandates.

In a display of ultimate hypocrisy, Gavin Newsom continues to mandate one thing while doing another, “While Gavin Newsom parties with Hollywood elites, he has turned every teacher and business owner into mask police. Our kids are afraid to remove masks at school and employers can be fined by CalOSHA for not complying with his mask mandates. Most children and families are unable to afford luxury boxes at football games, so I demand that all Californians be able to ignore mandates when it comes to his misguided public health directives,” said Joe Patterson.

This statement follows a recent announcement of a coalition of education leaders giving their endorsement for Joe Patterson For Assembly. You can read that press release HERE.

The newly drawn 5th Assembly District is split between Placer and El Dorado Counties and includes the communities of Cameron Park, El Dorado Hills, Lincoln, Placerville, Rocklin, and Roseville.

Joe took immediate action locally to help ensure kids returned to school as early as possible.

“The broad coalition of education leaders supporting Joe shows he has been a strong local advocate for our students. We support Joe so strongly because he has a clear history of taking action to support our community’s children and schools. As a father with children in local schools, Joe understands that the challenges our schools are facing include keeping them open to in-person learning,” said Rocklin School Board Member Tiffany Saathoff. “Joe was a leader in efforts to reshape the school board in a way that puts students over politics. That’s why we need him at the State Capitol.”

Patterson’s education coalition includes leaders from Roseville and Rocklin two of the largest cities in the newly drawn 5th Assembly District including:

Tiffany Saathoff, Rocklin School Board Member
Rachelle Price, Rocklin School Board Member

The past 24 months have been hard for students and parents and we need someone who will take action against special interests at the Capitol. The individuals who understand education know there will be no better advocate for our students than Joe Patterson and that’s why education leaders like me are supporting Joe for State Assembly. I will be going door to door encouraging voters to vote for Joe because I know he did that for our community’s children when they needed him.”
