We supported Roy Lee to unseat Das in our district. This was the first time I have given a dime to a Democrat. Let’s hope the shifty SB Democrat party does not figure out how to steal this one from Roy, like they did in 2020 or when they got Bernie out, and ran Crooked Hillary. Regarding 3rd district loss to Hartman, it is sad that the SB Republicans seem inept, and 2 Republicans ran against one Democrat. Truly an opportunity squandered. I’m hoping the newly elected members of the SB Republican central committee do better in the future
Janelle is not a Republican, she had been supported by the Dem party in her previous races. There are Republicans who choose to support her over Frank and even a lot of Republicans who voted for Joan. Frank might have been a bad campaign fundraiser but certainly had the best platform and a resume that many can’t compete with. No other Republican put their name out there in the end and the party did nothing for him besides promises.
1. Finding people willing to subject themselves to the Democratic smear campaign & threats to your business & livelihood is difficult.
2. Little support from Republicans who do not donate even $5 and who are too lazy to fill out the ballot sitting on their kitchen counter.
As I’ve stated numerous times
1. Republicans need volunteers to door knock,
2. Money to advertise since local media is corrupt & a Republican will never get a fair shake
3. Republicans need to get off their lazy butts & actually fill out the ballot sitting on their kitchen counter
4. Election integrity. Dems control the counting of the ballots. When has a Dem politician been honest with integrity. That was rhetorical.
Until Republicans actually do something they cannot complain about Paseo Nuevo or 5 Points or Glenn Annie golf course being turned into high density housing. Republicans cannot complain about crime or homelessness.
When someone complains the first question I ask is if they voted followed by who did they vote for.
Then I ask if they’ve ever talked about the issues with friends, neighbors, spouse.
Followed up by have they ever volunteered.
Then I tell them to stick a sock in it and enjoy the results of their own doing
I am mad at myself that I fell for the big backing of Troise from the Republican party. I watched the debate between all three candidates and had picked the Lompoc mayor but after reading opinions for Republicans pundits I doubted my gut choice and went with Troise, never again. And totally agree, what a mistake running two Republicans against Hartman. So disappointed.

I suggest that everyone hold their horses - - particularly the press - until all the votes are counted.
