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

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

iePolitics: Cory Calaycay and Iver Bye

I spent a few hours tonight at the San Bernardino County Fair in Victorville registering Republicans.  I shared the booth with 59th Assembly candidate Iver Bye.  It was nice to have a chance to find out exactly what he stands for.  He is definitely a true conservative.  Here is his website:  www.voteiverbye.com

And then Corey Calaycay and his brother stopped by.  It was also my first chance to really speak with Corey.  When I heard him speak at High Desert Republican Women Federated a few weeks ago, I was only mildly impressed and I think that was probably because he doesn’t have the dominating personality some of the other 59th Assembly District candidates have.  But after speaking to him for a few minutes I have to admit I took a liking to him.  Both Corey and his brother were polite and professional.    After hearing all the Chris Lancaster propaganda in recent weeks that he has this election in the bag because he has the most money, it was nice to see that Corey has not given up and is mounting a strong grass roots campaign.  I wish him luck as I do all the candidates in the 59th Assembly District, except for Chris Lancaster since he has all the money in the world to spend on negative campaigning and hit pieces.   Here is Corey’s website:  www.coreycalaycay.com
