California Democrats turned our state into an energy island — and you’re paying for it at the pump. ❌ No pipelines from the rest of America ❌ Special state-only gas blend ❌ Refineries shutting down ❌ Dependence on foreign oil tankers Then they act shocked when gas hits $6+ a gallon. This crisis wasn’t created overnight. It was created by policy.

Before Election Day, ask one question: Has my candidate signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge? More than 1,400 elected officials and candidates have signed the Pledge. Congressional Democrats who’ve signed? Zero.

Not chocolate. Not peanut butter. Oatmeal. Do voters hunger for bland?

BREAKING: The California Coastal Commission told a Dana Point couple they could rebuild their aging home — but only if they agreed to demolish it whenever the government says so. We filed suit to stop this unconstitutional shakedown.

In today's CA Playbook, former LA City Council member Mike Bonin - who was endorsed by CHIRLA Action Fund and benefitted from their "dark money" - decried the "dark money" of 2 groups funding ads attacking DSA candidates in LA. Once again, it's OK when they do it, but not when their opponents do. Either change the system, or expect us to play by your rules.
