I wanted to let FR readers know about the launching of the Red County/Riverside blog.
When my OC Blog became part of Red County, it was just the first in a planned series of blogs in "red" counties around the nation. Today we are officially launching the second member of our family of blogs: Red County/Riverside.
The Red County/Riverside’s charter “blopen” of contributors includes:
- Jim Battin: state Senator, 37th Senate District and FR Blog contributor.
- Ray Haynes: former Assemblyman and state Senator from Riverside County – and FR Blog contributor.
- Jeff Miller: Corona Councilman and Chairman of the Republican Party of Riverside County.
- Phil Paule: District Director for Rep. Darrell Issa, Eastern Municipal Water District Director, and political consultant.
- Jeff Greene: Chief of Staff to Assemblyman Kevin Jeffries.
I’m excited about this newest blog and confident Red County/Riverside will be a success. Building a new blog takes time, but our goal, is for Red County/Riverside to provide Riverside County politicos with the same level of political, governmental and campaign coverage that this blog has delivered in Orange County. We’ll also work to make Red County/Riverside to same kind of online political community into which OC Blog evolved.
So please add Red County/Riverside to your bookmarks and e-mail the URL to any Riverside Countians you know who, as readers and commenters, would like to be part of building the Riverside County blogosphere.
