Members of the Beach Cities Republicans, and also working on their fight against the Big Green agenda, attended the Torrance City Council meeting with some trepidation.
We were entering unchartered territory, in a sense.
For a long time, conservatives like Tracy and me have relied on working with people of different backgrounds and values.
The previous President of the Beach Cities Republicans–Evan Chase–did a masterful work in reaching out to communities and service groups.
He also tried to make friends with Jimmy Gow, the President of the Torrance Democratic Club.
I have no problem reaching out to other Democrats. There are many registered Dems who are voting for David Hadley and for Donald Trump!
Jimmy Gow is a progressive operative, however, who is not interested in working with the other side.
And this has been the problem for so long in Republican circles, especially in the South Bay.
There are certain people we can work with.
But those who are actively engaged in pushing a destructive, perverse agenda cannot be partners in making California a good state again.
Democratic policies in the state legislature are destroying businesses, hurting families, and killing the American Dream.

Gow is doing wrong, and he has got to go.
