Redlands Tea Party Patriots Endorse Andrew Kotyuk

(San Bernardino County, Calif) - Today the Redlands Tea Party Patriots, one of the largest activist groups in the Inland EMpire based in South San Bernardino County announced their endorsement of Andrew Kotyuk for Assembly.

"The Redlands Tea Party Patriots cabinet endorses Andrew Kotyuk as the candidate with the best chance of “repealing and replacing” Chad Mayes." said RTTP President Greg Brittain. His statement went on to say "The filing deadline is March 9. If you agree with our analysis and decision, we suggest you go to Gary Jeandron’s Facebook page and urge him not to run for the good of the cause.

"The Redlands Tea Party Patriot's regularly draw over 200 members to its meetings, their numbers and involvement is quite impressive." said Kotyuk. "Their vetting process took place over several months and was very stringent.  As the largest activist organization in the District I am honored to have their support and fight together to Make California Golden Again."

Andrew Kotyuk is running for California State Assembly in the 42nd District.  A U.S. Navy veteran and successful small businessman, he was elected to the San Jacinto City Council in 2010 and twice served as Mayor.  Through his leadership, he and his colleagues helped steer the City back onto firm financial footing after a fiscal crisis triggered by the Great Recession, and a scandal in which four members of the Council were indicted.  Andrew is a strong fiscal conservative and has signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge.  He’s running to “Repeal and Replace” embattled Assemblyman Chad Mayes.

Allen vs. Cox: This Video Says It All--Vote for Travis June 5th, 2018!

The Travis Allen Campaign is hitting it out of the park.

He is in a prime spot to stop RINOs and weak Republicans from scaling back Republican chances of entering the Top Two.

Californians need an elected official who will lead in the best interests of taxpaying citizens, not illegal aliens, welfare queens, and Big Labor bosses.

It is an absolute disaster what we are seeing from the Cox Campaign. He wanted to float his entire bid on the Neighborhood Legislature program. That's just not a winning argument. Cox also wants to burst through the primary on the major argument that he is the only Republican who can win the general election.



That argument does not win in a primary contest. Who is this guy's consultant? He's doing a pretty crappy job. Honestly, if the Chicago native had any wisdom, he would have sought a more neutral venue, or at least turned down the "opportunity" to debate at firebrand conservative like Travis Allen in front of the Redlands Tea Party Patriots. That was probably the dumbest move yet from this well-monied yet little-known financier and engineer from Cook County.

Here are the three videos I took from the event:







Travis Allen stomped all over Cox on January 4th, 2018. It was terrible to witness how poorly Cox did.

Just terrible.

This snippet, taken out and sent all over the state by the Travis Allen campaign, shows how bad he did--and how ill-prepared and uninspiring his campaign has become:

Election 2018: Travis Allen Wins First GOP Debate, Straw Poll

Travis Allen Wins Straw Poll in First GOP Debate Beating John Cox 80.6% to 17.1%


Los Angeles Times
January 5, 2018

The top two Republicans running for governor met for their first debate Thursday, clashing over their records, who was the true conservative and which one of them could bring change to Sacramento.

Assemblyman Travis Allen (R-Huntington Beach) and businessman John Cox sparred for more than two hours, with the sharpest and most frequent barbs traded over their support — or lack of it — for President Trump.

Allen repeatedly blasted Cox for voting for libertarian Gary Johnson over Trump in the 2016 presidential election.

“If you didn’t vote for the Republican nominee for president in 2016, you supported Hillary Clinton,” Allen said. “If you’re not voting for Trump, you’re voting for crooked Hillary. If you chose to sit out, you supported eight more years of Barack Obama.”

Redlands Tea Party Patriots: CAGOP Candidates Debate (Videos)

Here are all the videos I captured at the Redlands Tea Party Patriots "Political Hunger Games" debate between Travis Allen and John Cox.

Before the two gubernatorial contenders took the stage, other candidates in the audience stood up and introduced themselves to the large crowd at the Mentone Mill Creek Cattle Company:



Then Robin Hvidston of We the People Rising with her friend Mike McGetrick introduced a petition they were passing around to support ICE and their deportation efforts in the state of California:



Here are the two main videos featuring the two candidates going at it:



Here's Part Two:



The recording space on my camera started running out, so I had to temper what I recorded from that point forward.

Here was my question to the two candidates:



Here was my reaction to their responses to my question:



Then the two candidates gave their closing comments:



Please feel free to share this videos as you see fit. Please also comment below. What do you think of the two candidates? Which one gave better answers? Which one do you think would better serve as our next governor?

Redlands Tea Party CAGOP Governor Candidates Debate: Highlights

The Redlands Tea Party Patriots know how to put on a good show. They had a record 300 people arrive for the debate between assemblyman Travis Allen and businessman John Cox.

Standing Room only at the Redlands Tea Party Event
Lots of people in the audience were hyped up for Travis Allen. Some people already had their signs up for Travis for Governor.


John Cox did not look comfortable on the stage. Many times, he was turned in on himself. He scowled a lot, and much of the time he looked very uncomfortable.




You can tell just by looking at the posture of the two candidates who was winning and who was losing!

The blows began trading off between the two at the outset. Allen allowed Cox to go first since it should be "age before beauty." Funny.

The biggest slams came from Allen against Cox because the Chicago-born businessman voted for Gary Johnson in the general election instead of Donald Trump. He had supported Cruz for the long haul, as did I. There is nothing wrong with having a difference of opinion, and I stuck to my guns for Cruz up to the June primary.

I voted for Trump in the general election, and I am glad that I did. I really can't believe that Cox would not get behind the nominee. Forget concerns about illegal immigration, the Second Amendment, or climate issues. Let's talk about the Supreme Court of the United States! Justice Antonin Scalia had passed away on February 2016. Did we really want to risk allowing Crooked Hillary to nominate the next Supreme Court justice?

Allen slammed Cox repeatedly on this issue. "A vote for anyone else besides Donald Trump as a vote for Hillary Clinton!" The audience roared many tims when Allen touted his support for President Trump. I cannot run away from how moving and persuasive it is to have a gubernatorial candidate does not run away from our President. I honestly believe that the President did worse in California only because of the lower-tier candidates refused to announce and support the Presidential nominee!

(Of course, there's also the avalanche of Big Labor money, illegal alien voters, and a growing class of dependents who vote for a living instead of working or a living).

Cox thought that he had landed a killing blow against Travis Allen when he talked at length about the donations which Travis Allen had made to Democratic candidates in the past, including Barbara Boxer and Gavin Newsom. This argument falls apart very quickly, though, since President Trump had donated to a number of Democratic candidates and elected officials in the past, including Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, and even Cryin' Chuck Schumer. Yet today we see Donald Trump is running Washington for the people's interests, and not for the Swamp, the Deep State, and not the K Street Lobbyists looking to enrich themselves at our expense.

I thought these petty jabs back and forth got pretty boring after awhile. Yes, yes, Travis donated a few thousand dollars 8 years ago to a few Democrats. The slightly bigger issue for me is that Cox did vote for Gary Johnson, and Allen didn't let him get away with it. Johnson supports the full legalization of all drugs. Johnson was an open-borders zealot who would support and expand DACA. He was also a full-on baby-killer when one considers his stance on abortion, gay marriage, and other left-wing cultural stances. Crazy stuff.

The biggest issue is immigration in the state of California, and even before the debate began I took Allen's campaign manager to task because he did not mention his opposition to sanctuary state and his opposition to illegal immigration on the fliers passed around for the crowd. It looks like Allen at least got the message. Immigration is on the forefront of many people's minds in the state of California. The reason why so many public systems are overburdened, a big reason why the roads are falling apart, the schools are terrible, crime is up while quality of life is crashing all fall on illegal immigration.

Allen came out swinging on that issue, and has been leading on while serving in the state assembly. Not only did he author legislation defunding sanctuary cities in California, but his keynote witness for the legislation, Agnes Gibboney, asked a question about stopping illegal aliens from entering the state and killing Americans. While Allen already had established a direct relationship with this angel mom, John Cox really fumbled to show any kind of connection with her--and with the audience as a whole. It was pretty painful watching John Cox struggle in front of the audience.

At least fives times, Cox repeated that he was not charismatic or big on rhetoric. UGH! Bad move. Was he intentionally trying to insult the audience? Was he trying to further hurt his chances of getting elected? Cox was not helping himself. In fact, right at the beginning, his rousing "Are you ready for a Republican Governor?" anouncement seemed forced, as though he was trying to be like Travis.

Cox came to the Redlands Tea Party Patriots meeting already as an underdog. He should follow the same example as former Assemblyman David Hadley and drop out of the race. The fact that he refused to support President Trump is just too great for him to overcome at this point. All the money spent on Facebook ads and TV commercials are not going to help him.

Other Highlights

The candidates talked pretty much the same on every issue. Immigration and marijuana were two major issues debated, especially the role and the responsibilities of the state government to comply with federal law.

This debate was going to be pretty difficult, I thought, since both candidates are striving as much as they could to get the same hard-core audience. I really was surprised that the candidates and the panel asking questions did not diversify the set of ideas and issues to discuss. There was one question about helping veterans, for example. Another question from Mountain View Republican Club Judi Neal talked about affordability for senior citizens trying to get by on a fixed income.



The debate questions went from the panel to the audience, as men and women lined up to give their take on what issues need to be confronted, and what we need to see from our next governor.

Some of the people deliberately wanted to nail John Cox on donations he made to the MayDay PAC, which has connections to George Soros. He donated $5,000, of which only $2,200 went to Republicans. A few other questions went after Cox for not voting for Trump.

My question dealt with illegal immigration, specifically with what actions they could take as governor to enforce all federal immigration, and not just with calling a special session of the state legislature or filing a law suit.

I was not totally thrilled with their answers, let's just say:

Winner: Travis Allen, Hands Down. He was polling ahead of John Cox before the debate, and he was definitely ahead after the debate. Republican leaders and party brass up and down the state need to wake up and realize that they need Trump. They need to stop running from the President and his rough-and-tumble brand of politics. There are Democrats in the state of California who voted for Trump, as well as Independents. Minority voters in abandoned, urban ghettos throughout the state are demanding law and order, too.

Allen was the winner on Election Day 2016, and he won this debate hands down. The only question remains whether John Cox will get the message and drop out.
