Source: markmeuser.com On Wednesday, I sat down to speak with an energized U.S. Senate candidate, Republican Mark Meuser, who was fresh off his historic primary win last week.
“This was the first time in ten years that a Republican has been on the ballot for U.S. Senate in the state of California,” Meuser told me. “We did this despite the fact that there was a Democrat who decided to put $4 million of his own money into his campaign to try to split the Democrat vote so that there’d be two Democrats and no Republicans.” California’s “Jungle Primary” system is unusual because only the top two vote-getters regardless of party advance to the November ballot. In deep-blue California, this system more often than not results in two Democratic Party candidates running against each other in the November general election.
Consequently, not only is it a rarity that a Republican even got through the Jungle Primary for U.S. Senate, but if Meuser wins in November he’ll become the first Republican senator to be elected in California since the re-election of Pete Wilson way back in 1988. And that’s quite a feat in itself. It has been 30 years since California has had a Republican U.S. Senator. Only four states have gone longer without an elected Republican U.S. Senator. Can you name those four states? — Mark Meuser for U.S. Senate (@MarkMeuser) June 12, 2022 It’s a feat made even more remarkable considering the fact that, according to California law, Meuser had to get through not one but two races last week — one race to complete the remainder of the term left vacant by Kamala Harris’s departure for the White House plus one race for the next full six-year term. Meuser’s main opponent was incumbent Democrat Alex Padilla, who was appointed to […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
