      Just in time to help out the working class people of Marin as our governor might want to impose some more insane policies that the majority of hardworking, tax paying residents have had enough of.

        Thank you Jenette! These are just trolls. They have no real contributions to make. Ignore them and enjoy every bit of our moment. We earned it!

          Not trolls. Trump is a fascist and a traitor. MAGA needs to go back to where they came from

    This victory marks the end of a 30 year dynasty of destruction to the Marin Party and our Election System. The former Executive Committee still maintains “there’s no evidence” to support our “claims” that the elections are RIGGED” though we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are! They wouldn’t even allow any conversation on the topic or view the damning evidence that we so painstakingly produced. Incidentally, the CAGOP has much the same stance on this most important of issues.
    Every republican in Marin should know that thirty years ago, Marin was over 36% registered Republicans. Today we are hovering at just over 12%. I personally believe this was by design.
    It is the intention of this new leadership to realign the party with the will of the people and I am confident we will soon see these numbers rise exponentially!
    Thank you to all who have been engaged in this “Battle Royal” that has taken place over the last 4+ years here in Marin. I am honored to to be in such good company!

      The only people I hear touting Project 2025 are Democrats.

      What Republicans want are secure borders, as vibrant economy, energy independence, and a strong military without protracted foreign wars.

      Trump is delivering on all those issues, which seems to greatly trouble Democrats.

    Time to save Marin’s economy from the pathetic liberals and their hyper Marxist DEI-ladened left wing extremism.

    Excited to see what they will do to solve our housing issues and increase minimum wages. As well as solve our aging demographic problem.
