San Bernardino Republican Party members must be ecstatic over the news that JohnsonClark Associates Political Director Mike Richman will be joining the county’s central committee as its new Executive Director. Richman will serve part time in this position, while also beginning his own consulting firm serving political and public affairs clients.
Many of you know Mike Richman from the outstanding work he did in 2006, when he, in his role with JohnsonClark, managed Michelle Steel’s successful Board of Equalization primary campaign and then served as Deputy Campaign Manager for Steve Poizner’s bid for State Insurance Commissioner, which Poizner ultimately won. He also was heavily involved in the election of Anthony Adams, who is the Assemblyman from the High Desert, and one of this website’s State Capitol bloggers.
The San Bernardino County Republican Party Executive Director position has traditionally served as a launching pad for some of today’s most influential Republican policymakers, such as retired State Senate Republican leader Jim Brulte. As the Party’s new Executive Director, Richman will replace San Bernardino County FlashReport correspondent Adam Aleman, who is leaving the post after guiding the Party’s central committee through three statewide election cycles. Aleman is serving as a lead assistant to County Assessor Bill Postmus. (Fear not, Adam will continue to blog for us!)
