Candidate for governor campaigns in Paso Robles
Tim Donnelly, who is running for California governor, speaks with supporters in the Paso Robles City Park Friday evening.
State Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, R-Twin Peaks, visited town Friday to campaign for governor of California on his Liberty Express bus tour. He spoke at the Paso Robles City Park at Spring and 12th streets from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m to a crowd of over 100 supporters.
Donnelly said it’s time to replace Governor Jerry Brown. The governor, he said, has taken California from first to last in nearly every category. He said the state can’t take another four years of Jerry Brown. He said he leads all Republican challengers in the gubernatorial race by at least a 15-percent margin. Donnelly said he’s traveling the state in his bus meeting with constituents, and he’s confident he will win the Republican nomination.
Chris Mitchum, a candidate for US Congress, speaks to Paso Robles residents in the city park on Friday evening.
Congressional candidate Chris Mitchum joined Donnelly at the event. He said in his last campaign he lost to Abel Maldonado by only 4-percent although he was outspent 100 to one. He says it’s time to replace Congresswoman Lois Capps.
In a recent letter to supporters Donnelly wrote, “Our people-driven, grassroots support has been the key to our success as front runner in this race from day one. And it’s exactly how we will win this campaign. With already close to a dozen counties officially supporting our bid for governor, ‘we the people’ have spoken in strong unison for common sense reform and for freedom.
“While support is piling up and we are decisively winning the ground game in this race, my opponents have yet to receive a single county endorsement. Standing together, our voice will continue to be heard and our message will continue to spread.
“Here are just a few of the issues I’ve already been able to author legislation and lead on in the Assembly as we fight to bring opportunity back to our state:
- Curb the abuse of citizen’s rights by the federal government through “indefinite detention” provisions of the defense authorization bill.
- Force an audit of the abusive Child Protective Services (CPS) agency and introduce “Sammy’s Law”.
- Overhaul and improve our educational system by speaking out against such issues as Common Core and AB 1266, the “Bathroom Bill”, which allows children in opposite sex school bathrooms, thus destroying children’s right to privacy.
- Led the fight against SCA 5, which denies an individual or groups rights to public education on the basis of race.”
Donnelly, 47, is running for governor against Neel Kashkari, 40, on the June 3 Republican primary election. The winner will face incumbent Democrat Jerry Brown in the November election.
