Ray Haynes is running for Board of Equalization in a district that encompasses parts of Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties to the Mexican Border. The real border, not Temecula or San Clemente.
He is very popular among conservatives and is trying to qualify the California Border Police Initiative.
So I was surprised when I got a press release announcing that Ray Haynes was endorsing Joel Anderson for Assembly in the 77th District. See it here. I should note the CRA has yet to make an endorsement in that race and that I haven’t endorsed anyone either.
I wasn’t surprised that Haynes would endorse Joel Anderson. Joel is a conservative. He is active in the Party and conservative causes, President of the local Water Board etc… A good, solid conservative candidate.
I was surprised because I had received an invitation to a fundraiser tonight for another conservative candidate Debbie Beyer, which said Ray Haynes would be there.
Well, that doesn’t make much sense. Somebody has some explaining to do.
