Steve Frank for CAGOP Chairman: Announcement of Volunteer Campaign

Dear Fellow Delegates:

Last week I sent a notice to all CRP delegates, announcing that I am a candidate for Chair of the Party.  We know that Chair Brulte is not running for re-election and we have an opportunity of creating a new paradigm for the Party while building on his efforts. To that end I included with my announcement my plan to take the CRP to the next level of competitiveness during this critical period for California.

As most of you know, I have been actively involved in the CRP and statewide politics for over fifty years and during this time I have witnessed candidates for Chair of the CRP spend upwards of $150,000 to be elected.  Personally, I believe this to be inappropriate, and even more so at a time when every dollar counts for our candidates for elective office.  I therefore will limit my fundraising to $14,000. representing a spending plan of $10 per delegate. Further, although I am not required to report the source of funding, and to be transparent, I will provide a report every week that details the source and amount of each donation.

My campaign is going to be totally voluntary.  I am not hiring a consultant or paying for consultants to collect proxies; nor will I ask the Caucuses or the California Republican Party to spend on my behalf.  I will not ask PAC’s to spend on my behalf—that money should go to elect Republicans to public office. The money they raise must go to candidates for the Legislature. 



To that end, if you wish to donate once I reach the $14,000 budget, I strongly ask you give that money to your favorite candidate or donate to the CRP, the Assembly or Senate Caucuses or the Congressional delegation.  Our goals are to elect people to public office, not Party office, right?

The two surveys I have sponsored over the past couple of weeks may give you an indication that I believe in seeking the views of all Delegates and Associates.  I also believe the Party should listen to its Members, not have the Members told how to think by the Party.  To that end, please do not wait for me to send out a survey to provide me your valuable insights and that of the members of the CRP. I value and will consider all your views, and recommendations, and be assured, this communication will not be one way. Each day, on Facebook, I will report the activities of the previous day and as your Chair, I will issue weekly reports about my activities; I know that I work for you, the Party and our State.  And you will not have to ask anyone how to reach me: Cell: (805) 795-1271 – Email: stephenfrank@sbcglobal.net

In conclusion, many know I am on a radio show almost every day, somewhere in California, promoting our principles and values.  I am proud of them; I am not defending our principles and values, I am promoting them. As Republicans we need to stand up for our values, the great results of President Trump and our proud heritage of fighting for limited government, public safety and a government that is honest enough to respect the citizens instead of abusing them.

As Margaret Thatcher once said, “If you want someone weak choose someone else, there are lots to choose from”.  

I humbly ask for your support.  Attached is an endorsement card.  Want to win?  Back to Basics!

Sincerely,
Steve Frank

  1. Having read this I believed it was extremely informative.
    I appreciate you finding the time and effort to put this informative article together.
    I once again find myself spending way too much time both reading and posting comments.

    But so what, it was still worthwhile!

  2. Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was super
    long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I submitted and say,
    I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to the whole thing.

    Do you have any tips and hints for rookie blog
    writers? I'd genuinely appreciate it.

  7. Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard work due to
    no backup. Do you have any solutions to prevent hackers?
