Patterson Wins Re-Election for Third Term as CAGOP Chair

Rankin, Berholtz and Gandrud Prevail

Jessica Patterson won her third term as CAGOP Chairwoman at the biannual CAGOP organizing convention held March 10-12 in Sacramento. Patterson won with a resounding 65% of the votes cast in a four-way race. At the Saturday luncheon, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy thanked Jessica and all CAGOP delegates and volunteers for delivering the house majority to Republicans. The California GOP picked up 5 seats in the last two election cycles under Patterson’s leadership. Those 5 seats more than made the difference in electing a Republican Speaker of the House. McCarthy was elected speaker in January by a four-vote margin on the 15th ballot.

Joining Patterson is new statewide Vice Chair Corrin Rankin, the outgoing Regional Vice Chair from the Central Valley. Rankin was elected on the first ballot with 51% of the vote in a three-way race. Rankin had also served as the Vice Chair of the San Mateo County Central Committee and founder of the Republican Legacy Alliance, an organization focused on promoting Black conservative leadership. Rankin worked as California director for African Americans for Trump and was a prominent media surrogate for the campaign. . . . read more

Gallagher: GOP Legislative Wins Could Change State Policy

by Roger Riffenburgh

At the recent Republican state convention in Sacramento, Assembly Republican Leader James Gallagher led a session where he discussed 2022 election successes and future opportunities. He pointed out that many "Crises impacting you are caused by bad policy in Sacramento ... and many are close votes." He suggested that even winning a small number of additional Republican Assembly seats could have an important legislative effect.

Gallagher listed a few bills that he considered bad policy from the last two-year legislative session. Among them is SB 357, a bill to decriminalize loitering for the purpose of prostitution. It was opposed by some in law enforcement as well as by anti-trafficking groups. It was passed in September of 2021 with the minimum 41 votes, as it was even opposed by many Democrats. . . . read more
