iePolitics: The “challenged” candidate

This was in today’s Sun:

Between July 1 and Oct. 1, Donnelly, a former Minuteman who has said Republicans and Democrats alike have “sold us out,” took in $3,900 from former Republican lawmaker Jim Brulte, $7,800 in loans from current Republican lawmakers, nearly $2,000 from the 59th District Republican Central Committee and $1,000 from the Los Angeles County Lincoln Club.

In the same period, he received contributions from numerous corporations and political-action committees – $3,900 from tobacco giant Philip Morris, $3,900 from the California Real Estate PAC, $2,000 from Chevron – that contribute to both Democrats and Republicans in Sacramento.

“I have to go fight a fight to represent my district and the people of my district, but I also have to work and get along and get some things accomplished in Sacramento,” Donnelly said Wednesday. “The story should be that I have won over some allies – some business associations and some allies who want to support the fight I’m already fighting.

“And I’ve won support from some of my colleagues. I don’t think that’s something that says I’ve become an insider.”

A Reagan Republican Who Will Turn Our Economy Around


“Anthony Riley is a rock solid conservative that taxpayers can count on to protect them . . . and he’ll help businesses create more jobs in our state.”

- State Senator George Runner

No Tax Hikes; Stop the Spending

A fiscal conservative, Anthony Riley believes state government has a spending addiction. That’s one reason he signed the Americans for Tax Reform Pledge opposing all tax hikes.

Anthony Riley strongly supports the two-thirds vote requirement before the Legislature can raise taxes.  He favors a strict spending cap based on population and inflation growth that mandates a “rainy day” reserve.  Anthony Riley is the only 59th Assembly District Candidate endorsed by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers  Association
Political Action Committee. Continue reading →

iePolitics: The Race for the 59th Assembly District (Republican)

Posted on by Administrator

This is the other hotly contest Assembly District race and the more controversial of the two.  Its current officeholder is Assemblyman Anthony Adams who was the target of a failed recall effort.  There are six candidates vying for our votes.

This race is also “blessed” with a well financed RINO who, unlike Don Kurth, claims to be a Christian.  And this “Christian” (or Mormon in reality) along with his campaign consultant Chris Jones (sound familiar?), has conducted the most hate-filled, ugly campaign in San Bernardino County.  That candidate is, of course, Chris Lancaster, who has stooped to sending photographers to his opponents’ homes to film their young, underaged relatives, sponsoring an incredibly hateful video, and knowingly sending out lie-filled propaganda intended to induce and inspire bigotry and hatred among voters.  Needless to say, Lancaster is undeserving of your vote.

That leaves five other candidates:  Iver Bye, Ken Hunter, Tim Donnelly, Corey Calaycay and Anthony Riley. Continue reading →

Anthony Riley, former Supervisor Gary Ovitt staffer and candidate for the 59th Assembly District to replace embattled Assemblyman Anthony Adams, held a fundraiser last night at the home of Dr. Barron Wilson in Apple Valley.  First District Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt spoke as did Riley.

The event was well attended with about 70 in attendance. Riley has raised about $70,000 for his campaign so far.  Riley’s theme was “no new taxes” and he  slammed Anthony Adams for voting for the largest tax increase in state history.  He pledged he would never support a tax increase and to make the state live within its means.

This was sent to me by one of the candidates.  It makes interesting reading.  I’m also hearing rumors that Anthony Riley, former staffer for San Bernardino County Chairman of the Board and Vice President of the Hesperia School Board, is also contemplating a run.

The surprise decision by Assemblyman Adams not to seek re-election to the 59th Assembly District has set off a scramble for the sprawling Los Angeles and San Bernardino County seat.

The 59th District contains all or parts of the Eastern Los Angeles County communities of. Los Angeles County communities of Claremont, La Verne, Glendora, San Dimas, Sierra Madre, Monrovia, Bradbury, Arcadia and La Crescenta then suddenly goes north through the Angeles Forest and East into San Bernardino to take in the San Bernardino County communities of Apple Valley, Hesperia, Lake Arrowhead, Crestline, San Bernardino, Highland and Mentone. It is a district that makes the case for redistricting reform. Continue reading →

Henry Nickel: To What Are We Entitled?

Henry Nickel is a Rail Analyst for Riverside County Transportation Commission and candidate for the 63rd Assembly District.  He can be reached at info@herynickel.com.  His website can be found at:  www.henrynickel.com

Nearly every generation of Americans has faced a time in which the underlying presumptions and blessings of this great state and nation are partially stripped away if for only a time.  It is during such moments when the spirit of who we are as a nation and as individual citizens shines through, teaching us once more that nothing comes without a price.  The successors to the generation of Vietnam, rock and roll and free love are fast finding that not all things come to Americans as a birth right.   We live in a time of instant gratification, anonymous interaction, perceived rights to privileges not earned and little knowledge of just where the comforts we take for granted come from and at what cost.  Not unlike prior generations, the next is on the verge of a great awakening to the fundamental truths that have made our nation a beacon of hope to all humanity for centuries.

Ken Hunter: Hunter Claims Front-Runner Status

Republicans who waited until the incumbent withdrew are opportunists who did not oppose higher taxes, said John Würm, campaign manager for Ken Hunter, Republican candidate for the 59th Assembly District. Hunter has been running for the nomination since the first week of October 2009. The incumbent quit even after his recall failed because he knew that he could not beat Hunter.

Hunter said that he has steadfastly opposed not just Adams, but Adams’ high tax votes and that Californians pay more taxes overall than any other state. Hunter said that he wants to get California working again. Hunter said that it was his goal in the beginning to replace Adams and his high tax policies. He said voters are looking for leaders to reduce taxes and spending and will not vote for those seeking to just “move up the ladder.” Hunter says he will stand up against Democrats instead of surrendering as some have recently done.
