I am NOT smiling with Cargile

As a local activist who was a county party committee member due to running in the past for State Senate in our shared district, I wanted to make sure that my vapid Congresswoman Norma Torres (D-Pomona) had a challenger. I signed the petition for Mike Cargile to become candidate for Congress in his first run in 2020 not knowing how much of a loose cannon he is. I was one of his nomination signers during that run not knowing that he was outside the establishment where he would later gain national attention for having his endorsement yanked by the state party.

I thought it was unjust for him to have his endorsement yanked by the state party in the first place because he symbolized the base of the party. However his social media was the bane with individuals such as Jessica Patterson, the two term chair of the state party where she felt he was a liability to our statewide ticket. They were afraid of his viewpoints would be smeared to the other nominees like Jay Olbernolte and Mike Garcia. He fairly won the primary and I felt the first yanking of his endorsement was just a way to weaken him in the general election and she wanted to decrease the number of potential delegates he may earn in the year ahead.

I can agree that the state and county parties are not representative of the grassroots, but the fatal flaw of Cargile and his friends is the lack of inclusion. I noticed that when the meetings in Rancho Cucamonga were held in a church that has doctrine beliefs that were not inclusive to non-straight people, which was a sign that perhaps I was wasting my time associating with Cargile and his friends even before his diatribe before the second time his endorsement got yanked. I defended him the first time, but I was about to defend him a second time until he wrote his diatribe before the hearing to yank his endorsement, using the party’s first transgender delegate Regina Roberts of San Diego County as a wedge issue saying that transgenderism is a perversion of truth, yes you can disagree with leftist LGBT people like the health official in the Surgeon Generals office Rachel Levine, but Regina believes in many issues that most Republicans could agree and support on such as the second amendment.

Not all of us in the LGBT community agree that smutty graphic novels belong in our public K-12 school libraries or public libraries in the children or teenager department. Not all of us in the LGBT community agree that teenage girls should get their breasts lobbed off at the age of 15. Not all LGBT people believe that we should let kids see drag performers do sexually explicit content no matter if it’s a monologue or a dance routine. Painting people like Regina Roberts in a broad brush is very irresponsible.

Mike wants to run for Congress for a third round, but before that could happen he wants to run for State Party chair. The job pays a decent wage and I can agree that he can motivate the Republican voters better. However the problem I see, is he wants to shoe horn the political culture of Oklahoma and Idaho into California. I agree that there are systematic failures in the California Republican Party. We have done a horrible job in statewide elections since 2006, we have done a horrible job in voter registration, a horrible job in getting candidates elected into the state legislature and a horrible job in places such as San Diego County where NO Republican is representing the San Diego city council, the majority of the Board of Supervisors has been lost since 2018.

I am worried that if Cargile had a prayer of winning, that he would want to get rid of the Log Cabin Republicans charter, the platform plank I helped put in with Reagan’s son-in-law will be yanked and all the clauses with animus to LGBT people will return. Cargile and his friends will basically tell someone like me that they are not wanted in the party, but political parties are operated like an orchestra where its not just one element that drives its success. I seriously do believe in the mantra that “Inclusion Wins”, if we want to reach out to young and highly educated voters in places such as CD-27, CD-41, CD-47 and CD-49 we have to bring the inclusion of Jessica Patterson and the reformer attitude of Mike Cargile.

Unfortunately, you cannot separate the best elements from both leading candidates for Chairman in the election in March 2023. We must choose Rob Bernowsky our 2022 Secretary of State nominee for chairman. Sadly, the California Republican Party is a trainwreck and the casting office should have delivered us someone more worthy to be elected chair of the state party like Harmeet Dillon.

California Republican Party Needs Structural Reforms

The grassroots and reformers are fed up with the dog and pony show attitudes that happen from to the California Republican Party all the way down to individual county parties in our state. Our state party should be hands off when it comes to candidate recruitment unless there is a criminal record or documented fiscal issues above a certain amount of money. County parties should not yank nominees out of county parties just because they do not agree with the leadership of the organizations either.

I am not satisfied with us only having 1/4th of the State Assembly and 1/8th of the State Senate and our consultant class who controls our party should be ashamed by this as well. We are slowly becoming the bigger version of the Hawaiian Republican Party. The petty games played by the county and state parties make registered Republicans either want to move out of California or become Decline to State with no party preference.  Consultants should be happier when there are more potential winning campaigns of all flavors of Republicans instead of squashing people such as Greg Raths in 2020 who ran against Katie Porter. College Republicans and hard-core activists would be happier when there are more staffer jobs when more Republicans are elected to office from the county to the federal level. Jessica Patterson and her staff should be more worried about fighting Democrats than becoming the purity police.

The first goal is to make state endorsements opt-in. If a registered Republican does not want to be endorsed by the state party, they should indicate this on a signed letter mailed to the state party office a week before the primary election. I am also fearful if I do become a nominee in this current leadership of the state party, they will want to squash myself as well by doing “Indian giver” actions by yanking an endorsement. Removal of endorsements has been a current passion of the Patterson administration that needs to be nipped in the bud.

Second goal is we need to have disclosure because a particular candidate is being yanked. It was a good thing that I argued for disclosure of when candidates are getting their endorsements pulled instead of having it done at the dead of night as what happened in 2020. Now in 2023, the delegates need to argue for reform measures where the exact reason a candidate is getting their endorsement pulled. Earlier this year I thought the candidate for the 52nd Assembly District Gia D’Amato was being yanked for political reasons, but it was really because she knew she did not want to play in the establishment dog and pony show and wanted to be independent from the state party. If there are articles from places that make a candidate unsuitable, then the documentation should be provided to delegates so they can make up their own minds such as what happened with county party and state party leaders being fearful of the leftist group Media Matters for America was about to say about Mike Cargile in Congressional District 35 in 2020.

Third goal is county parties should be banned from manipulating their bylaws in violation of the current Elections Code of our state with section 7404 violated. Los Angeles County did this in 2021 to illegally yank myself and Kathleen Hazelton even though we represented districts that included Los Angeles County. This was an insult to the voters who voted for us in Los Angeles County. But the people in “New Minority” the donor group that funds its operations, executive director Julie Haff and chair Richard Sherman are just fearful of them losing control during organizational meetings where the declining party is still declining. Now people such as Toni Holle and Assemblyman Thurston Smith will be blocked from having a seat in Los Angeles County Republican Party for the next term that started in August of this year. I am hoping that county parties will be blocked from doing this practice statewide, if they want to do this, they should have had a Republican state legislator to modify the elections code to make the carpets match the drapes so it would be ethical and lawful.

Fourth goal is we need to bring the party back to the people, the grassroots. We need elected delegates not just the people appointed from county parties, Republican clubs and nominees for state and federal office. Each assembly district should have elected delegates to serve a 4-year term. We should also use an external company to process the votes so we can reduce corruption and make things done correctly. Engaging the activists leads to helping to promote interest in the party ideas and vision. This could also be a partial fundraiser. People can pay $5 to attend the gathering and it could cost $40 to file to run for delegate and winners would get the filing fee applied to the dues required.

We should be going after Democrats and not continue the practice of being our own enemies. The practices from the county parties all the way up to the state party reinforce the stereotype that the California Republican Party is merely the equivalent of the Washington Generals making it easier for legislators such as Senator Wiener ram his legislation thru with no opposition. I also made a wisecrack that if I won that huge Powerball jackpot, I’d try to buy the California Republican Party, but indeed you can’t own the party, but you want to build a machine to make it a party for the activists and not the consultants. Get the marginal districts to 35% plus so we can increase our voice in 2023.

California is a diverse state and party members must work together. We have diverse backgrounds and experiences and we as Republicans must learn to share the party despite our varied priorities. We need to stop stepping on optics land mines that make progressives jump with glee when we become divided. No matter our background, a state governed by today’s Democratic Party establishment is not the answer. Our children are not learning, and our streets are becoming more dangerous while people cannot afford to live here to raise their families and work. When we fight against each other when we should be campaigning that is the biggest crime right now.
