A Word From
Mark Hershey, CCR President
My Review of the 2024 Presidential Election
It has been a busy, but exciting last several months for Republicans in California. Ballots dropped in early October and the counting ended in December. We celebrated Thanksgiving, Christmas, and attended many family and friend get togethers. And last Monday, we witnessed a most beautiful inauguration of our 47th President Donald J. Trump.
Overall, quite good results for Republicans. The return of Donald Trump to the presidency seemed essential to our nation’s survival and he won in deciding fashion with a majority of the popular vote as well as 312-226 electoral vote shellacking. He won all seven of the competitive states including the entire “Blue Wall.”
Thank you to everyone for your hard work assisting local campaigns and getting our message out to the voters.
Republicans are only 24% of the registered voters in California. Presidential elections historically have higher voter turnout, with 70% voting in 2020. Due to the terrible policies by the current Democrat controlled regime have caused high inflation, unprecedented gasoline prices, poor economic conditions for businesses, out of control crime, massive homelessness problem, open border crisis, fentanyl deaths, and demonization of parents by public school officials. It is not realistic to think we can win every race, but we must re-elect our Republican incumbents while we add more Republicans to Congress, Assembly and State Senate. The most impactful influences on our own living conditions are the policies and ordinances made by our local offices. Do not overlook the importance of electing qualified, responsible candidates for city council, water board, and school board offices. Removing the one party dominated legislature begins with baby steps, but I believe we can make a big jump in the next election cycle.

MY LASTEST POSTS
Speaker Series
To achieve some of CCR objectives, we partnered with South Peninsula Area Republican Coalition (SPARC) to provide a monthly “Speaker’s Series” presentation. An important and timely topic is selected and then an outstanding speaker is scheduled for the event. These topics include: “What’s Next for the Supreme Court”; U.S. and China relations; California ballot initiatives; post-election analysis; legislative attacks on Proposition 13; and the effects of Propositions 47 and 57 on the criminal justice system.
