Attorney General

[sass2924]

Seems like gun owners would be better off with a Republican Attorney General rather that a Republican Governor. The AG could choose to not appeal many of the cases gun owners have won recently. So with the crime rate up and people tired of the lax enforcement criminal activity maybe 2022 is the year we can get a Republican into State office. So, which AG candidate would have the best chance of winning?

Like judges, I can read 'biography' but trying to find out their decision patterns is not so easy, regardless of party.

There has to be a way to be more informed on judges and AG's other than little blurbs in voters pamphlets or bias Google write ups.

I agree, Attorney's General are important.

Here's why I think a republican governor is slightly more important (though I agree, both are important). While the AG is supposed to be an elected position, the governor can appoint the AG position to anyone they feel like if the position ends up vacant for whatever reason (health, career advancement, retirement, suicided by a Clinton, etc). Therefore, having a democrat governor and a republican AG, while certainly better than nothing, still isn't a terribly safe position for us to be in.

In California: The Democratic party one.

In the last 20 years, only once did a Republican candidate for AG exceed 45% of the vote, and that was in in 2010 (against Kamala Harris, her first term). Since then, it's been a steady downhill. I would bet that the Republican candidate, whoever they are, will not even get 40% in this summer's election.

You have to understand that the Republican party has completely destroyed itself in this state. They have a small number of legislative seats (typically 30-35%), which enough to pay for staff and a small party organization. A few insiders have cushy, well paid job. Those insiders are not about to make big waves, since that would jeopardize those jobs. And with the Republicans both nationally and in the state sliding further over to the right (the Trump effect), they're losing voters in the coastal areas faster than they gain turnout in the inland areas.

If you want change in California, you need to convince democratic candidates of your positions.

The Sac County DA is running for AG, I would like to think she has a chance but in this state probably not

My friend.. its a way of ideology ... you aint changing any Dems mind..

EDIT.... if you had say a Black-female-lesbian-Muslim-paraplegic running on the Pub' ticket, she could get some traction.. but, the Left will just lie about her and her own people and classes of people will turn on her because they are fkking stupid... lets just say she would get in from a miracle, the Commies will block all of her true American Conservative decisions and mode of operations.. just like what they did to Trump.. nonstop mental rape..

This is why I am gone in the Fall of this year out of this Communistic fkking azz of a hellhole... people say like 'oh why you running, we can win' bla bla fkking bla (said this a million times)

Think of it this way, the longer we the Conservative population stays in CA, the more of our tax dollars and general spending we do EMPOWERS Sac... think about that.. we need to place our body, mind, spirit, tax dollars, community retail support and OUR VOTE where it counts ....

Is she actually tough on crime?

[cz74]

The amount of racist hatred towards Larry Elder last year from democrats is very telling isn't it. They don't care about your correct pronouns, as long as you sing their tunes, that's all it matters to them.

For republicans it's eric early vs nathan hochman

Eric mentions 2nd amendment as a priority in his agenda

Nathan doesn't have any.. but he has the most endorsements so far by the california GOP...

I guess vote for Nathan? Kind of a pain in the *** when there's two candidates of the same party

Appreciate your positive input on these forums as we're all trying to figure this out.

Voting Eric Early, don't trust Hochman because Kevin McCarthy is a damn RINO and he endorsed him.

[homelessdude]

I'm in for E. Early also.

Did you miss the illegal guns and criminals part?

Communities are in chaos, lives are being lost, and children are in danger because politicians want to go soft on criminals who use guns.

The appointed Attorney General voted in favor of AB 3234 three times. Under AB 3234, criminals who bring guns to schools or even to the Capitol can continue to own guns. This law is reckless.

The rise in crime is easily seen in cities like Los Angeles, which has seen a 141% increase in shooting victims. The newly appointed attorney general has consistently advocated for weakening accountability for criminals, especially those who use guns.

Early has no track record other than losing a house district race. Seems he blows into whatever election he can.

Talk is cheap. It is easy for any candidate to say 'I will do this or that' with no track record.

Schuebert has been there and done it, for a long time, and stood in the fire as media and SJW called for the prosecution of one innocent or another, and she did what was right and rebutted them - come what may.

We always complain about there being enough gun laws that never get applied to criminals. Now all of a sudden when someone says they will apply gun laws to criminals, we call them anti-gun?

I am not going to lie, I wish Schuebert would say something about fixing this DOJ administrative nightmare for gun owners and FFLs in CA, and the anti-gun position DOJ takes that has real world consequences for gun owners. But saying that is also a quick way to lose in this state. I have to believe she will make things better while still going after criminals, and she will do the right thing.

Anyhow, having watched her as Sac County DA for years and appreciating who she is and how she conducts herself, that is the best option I see right now. We have to back someone who can win in CA. Even if we wish that a rabid right winger gun slinger could win - we have to be real... they can't.

The left is doing everything they can to kneecap Schuebert and back Early - that should tell you a lot.

It wouldn’t be enough to stress Bonta’s abortion stance. Two of Bonta’s conservative (and best-funded) challengers in the attorney general’s race — Nathan Hochman, a former federal prosecutor who was endorsed by the California Republican Party, and Republican-turned-independent Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert — support Roe.

So pro-Bonta forces are playing some three-dimensional political chess. Two pro-Bonta ads they created are now running on conservative talk radio stations throughout California and also feature — sometimes in a kind of oddly neutral way — the most conservative candidate in the attorney general’s race, Eric Early.
...
Early is the Republican whom Team Bonta wants to face in November. They think Early is the most Trumpian — and thus, the most beatable in a state that loathes Donald Trump. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who appointed Bonta to the position last year, is familiar with this strategy.
