Can Republicans Newsom-Proof California?

Congressman Kevin Kiley believes Republicans in Washington have a chance to Newsom-Proof California and he has produced a 10 point plan to make it happen!

For years California Republicans have been playing defense faced with a full contingent of Democrat statewide officers and Democrat super majorities in both the State Senate and the State Assembly.  But with Republicans now in control of the U.S. House of Representatives, Senate, and the Office of the President, there is an opportunity to change the script.

Kiley’s plan proposes to use federal legislation to implement the policy changes that the California Governor and legislature refuse to make.  Here are some examples:

  • End the Sanctuary State by permitting local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE
  • Deter illegal immigration by prohibiting Medi-Cal payments to illegal immigrants
  • Eliminate wasteful spending by ending the $128 billion high speed rail project
  • Preserve consumer choice by eliminating Electric Vehicle mandates
  • Make Crime Illegal again by providing resources and coordination to implement prop 36
  • Remove homeless encampments by supporting communities that are implementing the recent Grants Pass court decision
  • Increase water supply by providing federal funding for water storage projects
  • Prevent wildfires by ending federal regulations that prevent proper forest management and wildfire prevention programs
  • Reverse educational decline by providing a federal tax credit for education expenses of a family’s choosing
  • Restore fair and timely elections by requiring voter ID and establishing a deadline to report election results

These common sense proposals give California Republicans a real opportunity to reverse Newsom’s failed policies and improve the lives of all Californians.

CAGOP Vice Chair Corrin Rankin Runs for Chair

by Roger Riffenburgh

Businesswoman Corrin Rankin is a Republican leader who has spent years working hard for California Republicans and is now running to be the Chair of the California Republican Party.  Rankin has been a leader in all three of President Trump’s campaigns, a leader of her small business and her industry, a rising figure in the CAGOP, and a mother of three. She was elected as the statewide Vice Chair of the Party in early 2023, and has spent the last two years travelling throughout the state promoting the party and supporting candidates.

Rankin’s vision for the state party includes four key points: building “on our shared values to unify our party”, leading as “the party of solutions”, protecting every vote, and having a broad-based party.  Her comprehensive plan includes focused messaging on issues that Californian care about, sustainable fundraising, holding Sacramento accountable when they implement leftist policies, and expanding voter registration efforts.

Corrin Rankin was born in San Mateo County and grew up in Menlo Park.  Her father owned a bail bonds business where she started working at a young age.  As the internet was beginning to become an important factor in people’s lives, she began working at tech companies in Silicon Valley.  There she learned to deal with managing staff, technical support, and legal and compliance matters.

In 2002 Corrin rejoined the family bail bonds business and soon became its leader.  She built and ran the company successfully for about 15 years.  The company was responsible for making sure thousands of accused criminal defendants showed up in court to face charges.  She also got involved in the San Mateo County Republican Party, eventually serving as First Vice Chair. When progressive politicians threatened the bail bonds industry, Corrin became a leader in defending the industry.  During that time as a business owner and single mom, she raised three daughters, all of whom made it into college and are now adults.

In 2016 she served as a surrogate for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, as a national convention delegate, and as the statewide director of African Americans for Trump.

She relocated to San Joaquin County and got involved in Republican politics there. In 2021 she was elected the Central Valley Regional Vice Chair for the California Republican Party.  She implemented a winning model “built on aggressive voter registration, targeted outreach, and strong coalition-building”.  It was successful, as Republicans elected John Duarte to Congress and defended Dem target Representative David Valadao in the 2022 elections.

Since announcing her candidacy for CAGOP Chair, Rankin has received endorsements throughout the state from party leaders, grassroots volunteers and elected officials, including 16 Republican members of the California Legislature.    The election will be held at the California Republican Party convention General Session in Sacramento on Sunday, March 16.

When she has free time, Corrin likes to spend it with her husband Aaron and their children and grandkids.  You can learn more about Corrin Rankin’s campaign for state party chair on her campaign website, CorrinRankin.com.
