I am very pleased to announce that our esteemed Sacramento Area Correspodent Tom Ross now 
has reinforcements. I was quite pleased when Republican strategist Tab Berg accepted my offer to come onboard with the FlashReport. Tab and I have had a long-time relationship based on mutual respect and admiration, but admittedly over the years, Tab has been the genius behind a number of moderate Republican candidates, officeholders and campaigns — folks that I wouldn’t back in a primary in a million years. But then, some of Tab’s clients — for example his successful Assembly candidate this cycle, Paul Cook — are quite conservative. And as we say here at the FR, we represent the center-right to the right-right.
[Fascinating Fact: Tab, pictured above to the right, is a licensed whitewater river guide.]
Anyways, the reason I reached out to Tab is because he knowns and understands politics, he follows the goings on in the greater Sacramento area (his primary ‘turf’ for us) — and he has a good sense of what is relevant, and a modestly good sense of humor.
Tab’s background can be read here, but I hope that you will all join with me in welcoming Tab Berg to the FlashReport as we continue to rearrange and bolster our lineup going into this new political cycle!
