I’ve got to send out a big "Well Done!" to new Alameda County GOP Chair, Paul Cummings, and his executive director, Ryan Hatcher. Last night they hosted a mock debate of Republican Presidential candidates in Newark, and it was one of those events that makes you really proud to be a Republican. The discussion was serious and issues based, but supportive and respectful. The audience had excellent, thought-provoking questions, and everyone felt very comfortable giving input and sharing their ideas. There was no candidate bashing on either side of the aisle, and it was truly an effective fact sharing opportunity. My hat is off to Paul and Ryan for setting the perfect tone for a dignified and thoroughly enjoyable evening! Way to go!
