Once every generation comes along a unique political leader.
Pension reformer Carl DeMaio has been target for defeat by big labor.
Carl DeMaio is the real thing. In an age of political defeatism and angst, Carl earned San Diego citizens trust when they elected him to the city council. With a platform of fiscal reform, Carl offered honest and real solutions to San Diego’s financial melt-down. Carls’s ideas and approach are drawing national attention – and his success is winning converts and being imitated across the country. So much so that big labor has made him a top target to defeat in this election.
Today San Diegans face a stark choice. Ronald Reagan’s leadership was built on the idea of “raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors “. We must support those candidates with conservative, fiscally responsible values.
The resurgence of the Republican Party in California will depend on candidates advocating a reform agenda and Carl DeMaio’s campaign is the model for such resurgence.
You have probably heard of his opponent, Nathan Fletcher. Nathan worked for me twice. First with I ran for state chairman of the California Republican Party, then when I appointed him as Political Director. I know Nathan well. I even contributed to him. Sadly, Nathan lost his purpose and direction.
When elected to the Assembly in Sacramento he began compromising with the very people who have systematically looted tax-payers for decades. Certainly, Reagan, didn’t compromise.
Nathan appeared before the local Republican Party with Carl asking for the Party endorsement. When Carl won the local GOP endorsement, Nathan stormed out of the room. The next week he became “Independent” further abandoning any conservative principles he had left.
But Nathan didn’t just abandon the Republican Party – he has abandoned the taxpayers. This year alone, Fletcher has missed 70 percent of legislative sessions including over 260 votes but still took his $95,000 taxpayer funded salary.
Carl DeMaio is a leader for our party. There is six days left. Will you contribute online today? www.CarlDeMaio.com
Will you stand with me and Carl now? I hope you enthusiastically join with me donating and supporting Carl DeMaio as San Diego’s next mayor.

Sorry, Shawn. I’m voting my values, not my pocketbook.
Why are we not talking about the elephant in the room when it comes to Carl DeMaio? How about his and his partner’s ties to the gay porn industry? How about his having flat-out lied to us when he said he wouldn’t support the gay agenda? That is precisely what he did just the other day with his vote to approve a divisive rainbow flag flying above the Hillcrest area? I won’t even go into some of the other votes he’s cast on the City Council.
Personal character actually counts. I won’t vote for someone who lacks personal integrity, mainly because that’s what got us in this horrible economic situation in the first place. We need to elect real leaders, people who won’t lie to us, won’t break their promises, won’t make back-room deals, actually have deeply-held moral convictions and won’t compromise them for power or money. Along the way, it would be nice if they didn’t have things in their personal lives that evidence a clear lack of integrity, like close ties to sleazy businesses like gay porn. Frankly, I’m also shocked at the lack of vetting to which DeMaio was subjected. Didn’t we learn our lesson with Jerry Sanders?
I am ashamed of the city my family has called home for over 100 years, that we couldn’t find a decent mayoral candidate. I’ll work on finding a better one next time, if necessary. This city deserves so much better than this.
Karen Grube,
Candidate for Republican Central Committee, 77th Assembly District
