I’m in Sacramento today… And so is Congressman Kevin McCarthy. Kevin is far from the U.S. Capitol, and hundreds of miles from his hometown of Bakersfield…
I ran into the former Assembly Republican Leader at a luchtime fundraising event for FR friend and Assemblyman Van Tran over at the Esquire Grill. It was a great event, and it was a pleasure to spend some time there with Jon Coupal, President of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. We did have a few Assembly candidates here including Paul Heygi (Tran’s CoS) who is running in the 10th AD, Robert Rau in the 15th, and John Pate in the 64th – the latter two being chaperoned by political consultant/icon Tim Clark (who is Tran’s consultant as well).
McCarthy and I had a few minutes to chat about his engaged role with the National Republican Congressional Committee. He is very focused on working to re-attain the majority for Republicans.
Later tonight, the "Energizer Bunny" has his own fundraising event here in Sacramento…
