This is great news for Republicans in the state of California.

The 44th Assembly District's Republican challenger Ronda Baldwin-Kennedy has received the endorsement for one of her Democratic opponents from the primary:

Former Democrat Opponent, Robert Zelinsky, Endorses Ronda Baldwin-Kennedy for Assembly
(Westlake Village, CA) – The Ronda Baldwin-Kennedy for Assembly campaign announces that former Democratic primary opponent, Dr. Robert Zelinsky, has endorsed Republican Baldwin-Kennedy over incumbent Democrat Jacqui Irwin.

"I'm casting my vote for Ronda Baldwin-Kennedy because she has the dedication, experience, and most importantly, the integrity to best represent AD-44 in the Assembly," Zelinsky said. "Ronda will take on the career politicians in Sacramento, jumpstart our economy, improve our schools, and focus on keeping our community safe. Unlike Jacqui Irwin, Ronda will oppose the unfair gas tax, and she won't be controlled by a single political party. Simply put, Ronda wants what's best for AD-44, not the party bosses or special interests in Sacramento."

“I am honored to have received the endorsement of Dr. Robert Zelinsky, a registered Democrat and former opponent of mine," Baldwin-Kennedy said. "I look forward to continue working across party lines to win the support of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents throughout the 44th District."

Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin (D) will face off against attorney Ronda Baldwin-Kennedy (R) in the general election in Assembly District 44. Irwin narrowly took the top spot in the June primary by a single-digit margin over Baldwin-Kennedy, setting up a targeted, competitive race in November.

No matter which party is in charge, checks and balances are lost when one has over a two-thirds majority, which is the case now. Bills which might otherwise be wisely sidetracked are now routinely passed, leaving us with the largest tax increases in history and many onerous and plain crazy new laws. The Republicans have zero chance to gain a majority, but do have a shot at ending the tyranny of a 2/3 supermajority. 

So, even if you don't live in the district, even if you aren't a Republican, it would make sense to support Ronda's candidacy. Donate, campaign, call, walk. Vote if you can legally.

It is doubtful that Ronda will raise millions like Jacqui, but how many mailers and TV ads can you send out before people simply tune out? Ronda just needs enough mailings and electronic media so voters know who she is and why it is wise to vote for her. Will you help stop the 2/3 supermajority tyranny this year?
