With this being a deadline week to pass bills in their house of origin, many bad Democrat Party bills have already passed, including more “LGBTQIA+” tyranny and indoctrination, and more baby-killing via abortions.

And, on your behalf, SaveCalifornia.com has been tracking which Republicans are voting like Democrats.

Ask yourself — how many times does a Republican have to betray you on non-negotiable issues before you call him or her a RINO (Republican In Name Only) and oppose them?

Here are the RINOs in the California State Assembly (the 80-member lower house), based on at least 3 “yes” votes on 13 Democrat-authored, anti-family bills on the floor:

Greg Wallis of the Greater Palm Springs area
Supported HR 38, AB 40, AB 45, AB 54, AB 86, AB 260, AB 302, AB 715, AB 822, AB 908, AB 935, AB 1084

What to do about RINOs? Replace them by refusing to support them.

Having a Democrat win the seat for a term will allow you to help expose their evil deeds, and importantly, give you motivation to recruit and support a conservative, constitutional, pro-family fighter to win in the next election.

Encouraging trends for children and young adults

Sunday, May 18, 2025, 7:57 am | Randy Thomasson

If you’re like me, your big cultural concern is the next generation. Because we’ve seen an explosion of foolishness and evil from the current one!

So join me in being very glad about the movement to rescue children from anti-family, low-academics, “woke,” godless, government-controlled schools!

This is where states enact a “universal” education choice policy giving parents a paid scholarship funding most or all of a private school — or even home school — for their children.

Already this year, the Republican governors and Republican legislatures in Idaho, Indiana, Tennessee, Texas, and Wyoming have set the children free.

Texas is now the 16th state offering a universal choice. This is huge, because 1 of 10 students in the nation lives in Texas!

And in Tennessee, which is initially providing 20,000 children with freedom scholarships, parents stampeded for relief by filing 33,000 applications in the first several hours of the program’s launch.

The number of universal educational choice states keeps growing, which will eventually make parents in “blue states” jealous as they hear how family and friends in school choice states are enjoying the difference.

And rescued children can be taught moral, family, and constitutional values if local churches start little schools to participate in rescuing kids.

I expect more states to offer more families this lifeline to rescue their children. And because the Left’s objections are without merit, within a decade from now, I would not be surprised if California voters approved it here.

Meanwhile, the Democrat Party is losing voters, even in California. The pain of Covid tyranny and Bidenflation awakened many in their twenties!

May 4: “We are seeing the base of the Democrat Party evaporate”

May 3: Former L.A. County Sheriff: “I’m leaving the party of paid protests, purple hair, and pronouns, and joining the party of faith, family, and freedom”

April 23: Democrats see plummeting support from young people

April 19: Poll shows voters are tired of the anti-Trump ‘resistance’ – even in blue California

Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.
The Bible, Proverbs 22:6

Can a Republican win the California governor’s race?

Tuesday, April 29, 2025, 8:43 pm | Randy Thomasson

and does not support or oppose candidates for public office.

July 31, 2025 7:17am update: Big Democrat Kamala Harris announcing she won’t try to become California’s next governor actually increases the chances of a Republican to win one of “the top two” slots in the primary election and to even be elected governor.

To help you and your friends, SaveCalifornia.com has calculated the “jungle primary” math based on California’s 2024 presidential election results (giving Republican, American Independent, and Libertarian party candidates nearly 40% of the vote, and Democrat and other leftist party candidates nearly 60%).

See below for three hypothetical scenarios, numbered 1, 2, and 4 (Scenario #3 no longer applies):

* * *

In light of California’s “jungle primary,” is splitting the votes of conservatives good or bad, and what are the chances of a mostly-conservative Republican being on the November 2026 ballot or being elected governor?

To answer, mostly-conservative Republican Steve Hilton’s entrance into the 2026 California governor’s race has immediately split the conservative vote between him and mostly-conservative Republican Chad Bianco.

If Hilton had not declared his candidacy, Bianco would have been virtually assured of being the highest or second-highest vote-getter in the primary.

Still, in the hypothetical scenarios I’ve been crunching, it’s plausible that a Republican could be one of “the top two” in the primary election, and if Kamala Harris doesn’t jump in, there’s even a path for either Bianco and Hilton to become governor.

The 2026 primary election scenarios below divide up 59% of the vote between the Democrat Party candidates and 38% of the vote between the Republicans. This is based on California’s 2024 presidential election results, and are rounded up or rounded down to match.

Here are the “bigger” declared candidates, so far, in alphabetical order who want to replace Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom, who’s termed out:

Democrats:
Toni Atkins, former State Senate leader, former State Assembly leader
Xavier Becerra, former U.S. congressman, former State Attorney General, and former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services
Eleni Kounalakis, current Lieutenant Governor
Katie Porter, former U.S. congresswoman
Tony Thurmond, former state assemblyman and current State Superintendent of Public Instruction
Antonio Villaraigosa, former state assemblyman, former mayor of Los Angeles
Betty Yee, current State Controller

Republicans:
Chad Bianco, current sheriff of Riverside County
Steve Hilton, media voice, former tech start-up founder, former U.K. government advisor

SCENARIO 1: Two Democrats win “the top two” slots of the June 2026 primary election (two really work hard at the expense of the other Dems), so both Democrats advance to the November election, and a Democrat will again become governor:

22% Becerra
21% Porter
19% Bianco
18% Hilton
4% Villaraigosa
4% Thurmond
3% Yee
3% Kounalakis
3% Atkins
3% other

SCENARIO 2: 1 Democrat + 1 Republican win “the top two” (the Democrat Party machine pushes 1 Democrat hard at the expense of the others):

25% Becerra
20% Bianco
18% Hilton
9% Porter
7% Thurmond
6% Yee
5% Kounalakis
4% Villaraigosa
3% Atkins
3% other

SCENARIO 3: 1 Democrat + 1 Republican win “the top two.” Here, the biggest Democrat, Kamala Harris, enters the race and “sucks all the oxygen out” of the other Democrats.

If Harris enters the race, expect up to 5 Democrats to drop out (Atkins, Kounalakis, Porter, Thurmond, and Yee). Also expect Harris to be puffed and promoted by California’s New Communist machinery. This scenario means a Republican will be on the November ballot.

39% Harris
20% Hilton
18% Bianco
12% Becerra
8% Villaraigosa
3% other

SCENARIO 4: Two Republicans win “the top two” (if Big Democrat Kamala Harris doesn’t jump in, Democrats might simply split into 7 portions that are smaller than the 2 Republican portions), meaning there will be a Republican governor:

20% Hilton
18% Bianco
13% Becerra
12% Porter
8% Thurmond
8% Yee
7% Kounalakis
6% Villaraigosa
5% Atkins
3% other

I’ve provided these 4 scenarios to give you hope. In 3 of the 4, a Republican (either Bianco or Hilton, both mostly-conservatives) advances to the general election. Let this energize you to support the candidate who best represents your values!
