Redlands Tea Party Endorses Andrew Kotyuk to Repeal and Replace Cheating Chad Mayes

March 6, 2018 For Immediate Release Contact: Nathan Miller (213) 926-3331   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.

RINO-PLAC Not Fighting Cheating Chad: SCAM-inoff Makes Excuses

The Republican Party of Los Angeles County needs to sober up with new leadership, or just shut itself down.

For the past three months, grassroots Republicans throughout the state have hammered Cheating Chad Mayes and his fellow GOP traitors for their Cap and Trade vote.

We confronted the staffers in Marc Steinorth's office a few weeks ago, and instead of meeting with the assemblyman, 25 California Highway Patrolmen swarmed the district office parking lot.

Incredible.

Not only that, but other staffers have been slamming the phones on people, shutting off the emails, or finding other ways to dismiss the growing outrage from grassroots Republicans who are tired of being deceived and betrayed.

I have been blasting the RPLAC Central Committee, wondering when they will take up some kind of vote to censure Chad Mayes and demand his removal as Assembly Minority Leader.

Here's the tepid, pathetic response I received from RPLAC Treasurer Gary SCAM-inoff:

I am still demanding that @RPLAC stop being silent and Demand @ChadMayesCA step down! @aminoff @hhakes #RichardSherman #StopHiding @PressGop https://t.co/2SRXqlEAGW

Really?

The next executive committee meeting takes place in September, so the Central Committee is going to sit on its hands, close their eyes, ears, and mouth, then do nothing.

What a sham.

The Sacramento County GOP executive board held an emergency meeting to draft a resolution against Mayes. What's holding the Los Angeles County central committees from doing the same?

They took the time to revoke the charter for the largest volunteer club in Los Angeles County, but they can't take on the corrupt Chad Mayes and his Cap and Betrayal?

We know where their priorities lie, don't we?

No Punting, Assembly GOP! Chad Mayes Must Go! (But Who Will Replace Him?)

I received two text messages from people who work in Sacramento, or who know people who work in the capitol.

The rigmarole over Chad Mayes has been extended another week.

Who will take Mayes' place? The Assembly GOP does not seem committed to doing what is best for the people of the state of California. The Deep State of Sacramento does not want to lose easy money, and the third house wants to hold onto its tight grip on both sides of the aisle.

This must cease.

Mayes sold out everyone, and he hurt every Republican imaginable in the state legislature and in every central committee throughout the state of California. Individual Republican voters do not send their elected GOP reps to go along with the crime and corruption overwhelming Sacramento and stealing from us.

Chad Mayes must go, and we cannot allow one more week of this meandering nonsense to continue. To my chagrin, the Assembly GOP along with the Democrats are convinced that they do not have to listen to us or care one bit about what we care.

Such arrogance has become hardened from lack of confrontation, but We the People can and must change it.

I Love Melendez: Editorial to Mayes' Resignation, Melendez' Ascension

GOP leadership requires principles and winning elections

I am proud to pen this commentary from my new office space, referred to around the state Capitol as “the Dog House.” The Dog House is where you get sent as punishment when you draw the ire of the leaders for standing up to them on principle. I have heard of Republicans being punished for voting for a tax increase, but I have never heard of a Republican being punished for voting against one.

This is truly outrageous!

Who put her in the Dog House? Chad Mayes, with the help of his Democratic Bromance Boyfriend Anthony Rendon.

Shameful! What kind of a Republican does that to a fellow Republican?

Answer? A RINO, a total traitor!

How I found myself in this glorified closet space is sadly a story about how petty and unprincipled politics is in the statehouse these days.

I am fed up with unprincipled people.

Most Californians have heard about the cap-and-trade deal that went down in the Legislature. An increasing number are aware that the Assembly Republican Leader, Chad Mayes, broke from the policies he campaigned on and that were overwhelmingly supported by his caucus, when he joined Democrat leaders in voting for cap and trade. Even worse, he pressured other Republicans to fall on the sword so some Democrats in battleground districts wouldn’t have to make a tough vote. What many Californians do not know is that cap and trade significantly raised taxes and that much of those taxes will go toward another failed program, the now infamous high-speed rail project.

And that's what really, really irritates me! Sabrina Cervantes and Sharon Qurik-Silva did not want to vote for Cap and Trade. They knew that would have killed their re-election bid.

Then Mayes decided to go along with that corrupt program.

Just months ago, it appeared that finally the governor and his extreme leftist legislative leaders would be forced to moderate their policies. Fiscal conservatives watched with glee as one-by-one Democrats joined Republicans in publicly rebuking the latest cap and trade and funding of Jerry Brown’s boondoggle bullet train-to-nowhere. I sat there with great hope that both cap and trade and the ridiculous high-speed rail project would finally face market restrictions and Gov. Brown would be forced to do right by Californians.

I did too, Melissa. I did too!

However, our embattled Assembly GOP Leader Mayes could not resist the temptation, and negotiated quite possibly the worst deal in legislative history. Believe it or not, Mayes is proud to report that in return for Republican votes to pass cap and trade, he received a non-binding assurance that Jerry Brown and Democrats would support a ballot measure requiring a two-thirds majority to spend cap-and-trade funds on high-speed rail. Then, if, and only if, the ballot measure passes, a super-majority would be required to spend those funds — sound familiar? Here’s the rub: if all of these things go exactly as planned, the new law requiring a two-thirds majority would not take effect until 2024, leaving Democrats with seven years to freely spend cap-and-trade funds on high-speed rail before facing a financial “speed bump” for its ballooning costs.

Terrible deal. It was a fraud and scam from day one. I sense that Chad Mayes is waiting for some lobbyist job when he gets thrown out of office.

In light of this deal, I chose to resign from my role as assistant GOP leader under Mayes because I knew that one of two things had happened: either Mayes just saved the Democrats’ failed policies that were starting to face bipartisan opposition or he had sold out his caucus and the citizens of Californian for political expediency. Neither is acceptable to me.

Mayes did both--add to that the fact that he also cheated on his wife, and we have a perfect traitor!

Subsequently, Mayes’ retaliated. He proposed canceling a critical agreement with our party that unites Republicans for winning elections, stripped me of my committee assignments, and banished me to “the Dog House.”

Mayes wants to burn the Republican Party down. Why? What is his gripe or his grief?

Assembly Republicans in the Capitol must turn the corner and set a long-term course for making gains in the Legislature that will bring balance to the public policy-making process. One-party rule is demoralizing Californians and it all rests on the GOP’s ability to win elections.

It's destroying the state!

If given the distinct honor to serve as Assembly GOP leader, I will work to unite our caucus behind one common goal: breaking the Democrat’s supermajority in the November 2018 election. To do this, it is not enough to just rail on the gas tax or cap and trade, we must make impassioned cases for our principles and policies by abandoning the worn-out messaging of the past, connecting with voters in their local communities, and understanding what is most important to them.

How about "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness"? Those are eternal values.

Together, Republicans must unite and prove to the voters of California that we are not ones to kowtow to the 11th-hour dealing of the legislative process by the Democrat majority — let the Democrats own their policies and pay the price for them.

Very likely the Democratic program would have collapsed completely.

Let them own their failed policies that have led California to the highest poverty rate in the nation; half of our kids are on government subsidized health care and one-third of the entire nation’s welfare recipients reside in California.

That is beyond criminal.

The voters of California must know for certain that when we say we are going to hold the line and fight for better economic policies, that we will do it, no matter what pet projects or pork spending is thrown our way. Simply put, we must get our house in order.

Anthony Cannella was bought at a very low price. Pork spending into his district, which he can then run on for a possible Board of Supervisors bid. Maybe we should pass a law which will prevent retired assemblymembers and state senators from seeking office in other non-partisan positions throughout the state.

Republican ideals can put California back on the right course by ending the spikes in violent crime, spurring a vibrant economy, and creating more good paying jobs. Doing so requires a new era of Republican leadership that will offer Californians the opportunity to rid their state house of a culture of corruption that has persisted for too long. As Assembly GOP leader, I will welcome and foster healthy debate on differing opinions, but last-minute capitulations to special interest handouts will be met — must be met — with consequence.

Yes! I support Melissa Melendez for Assembly Minority Leader!

WHEREAS, Cap and Trade adds an enormous financial burden to poor and middle class families;

WHEREAS, Cap and Trade will raise fuel prices by a minimum of 72 cents per gallon by 2030;

WHEREAS, Chad Mayes, the Assembly Republican Leader, voted and lobbied other Assembly Republicans to vote for Cap and Trade;

Resolved, that the Sacramento County Republican Party:
