We are heading off to the General Election and I am here to talk about county party endorsements for the San Bernardino County Republican Party in the Rancho Cucamonga/Fontana area. The party is not exactly looking for the best person to represent the common people who live in those cities, but those who would be subservient to the power games involved. It is about preservation of the dynamics that brought in the leadership of the failing organization which is stagnant in donations only for their chosen candidates in Fontana and Rancho Cucamonga running for school board, water board and city council and to preserve the re-election of the status quo San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors members.
Do not blindly vote simply because the county party endorses the candidate. Ask deeper questions to the candidate and or their campaign. See what other individuals and organizations endorse a particular candidate. It feels like the movie Mean Girls than what a political party should be. We should not be opposing candidates because of grudges; it should be about how he or she may be delivering solutions to the people of our communities. Look into the endorsement list of the Rancho Cucamonga Republican Assembly as well before you make your vote starting in October in California.
Our county party decided to choose a water board candidate who does not have any deep life experience except for the public policy knowledge of her mother. Our county party chose to endorse a school board candidate that believes the low-test scores of his district are acceptable. Our county party chose a city council candidate that can be controlled by developers instead of the people.
I am not anti-development, but development should be based on the quality of how the plans are made for a particular project and not approved by default.
