So, conservative Paul Chabot of San Bernardino has some Republican competition for CD-31?
The Los Angeles Times reports:
Another Republican has entered the race to challenge Rep. Pete
Aguilar (D-Redlands), a first-term congressman whose Inland Empire seat is
considered vulnerable this fall by both national Democrats and Republicans.
Aguilar (D-Redlands), a first-term congressman whose Inland Empire seat is
considered vulnerable this fall by both national Democrats and Republicans.
It is vulnerable, precisely because Agui-liar (D-Redlands) ran a slash-and-hate campaign against Chabot.
Agui-liar's ideological views are all wrong for the Inland Empire. He is pro-abortion, pro-Planned Murderhood, pro-gun control, and favors another assorted set of perverse policies.
I attended one of his Coffee with a Congressman events near the San Bernardino airport. Most of the people attending wanted to know what he would do to bring back jobs to the region. He has voted t retain Obamacare, which is killing jobs. His actions in Congress are setting him apart from the best interests of the district, too.
Sean Flynn, an associate professor of economics at Scripps
College in Claremont, is a late entry into a race that had until recently
looked like a rematch between Aguilar and Paul Chabot, a Republican military
veteran who narrowly lost the 2014 contest for the then-open 31st Congressional
District.

So, Sean Flynn is stepping in, and so late, too.
Who is this guy?
The 42-year-old professor's campaign will stress his
economic credentials — he literally wrote the book "Economics for Dummies"
— and his takes on healthcare and education as he works to find a salient issue
in an area dealing with high unemployment.

Economics for Dummies? How about Politics for Dummies, too? Paul Chabot has already raised an incredible amount of money, despite losing in 2014.
Why would another Republican throw himself into the race, and so late so that no one knows where he got his money?
"I believe I can bring ideas that can appeal to the
middle in addition to both sides," Flynn told The Times. "I’d like to
go to Washington and push forward on the middle ground essentially where real
good policy solutions lie."

Appeal to the middle and both sides? What kind of double-talk is this?
On social issues, Flynn said he is opposed to abortion
except in cases of rape and incest or if the life or health of the mother is in
danger. He is in favor of letting state legislatures or voters directly decide
on whether same-sex couples can get married.

This stance is not appealing to the middle, but just like Paul Chabot's.
The first-time candidate for public office will have to
spend heavily and hit the streets constantly if he wants voters to recognize
his name on the June primary ballot.

Flynn's campaign committee was formed last month, so federal
fundraising filings will not be available until April. But he said he has
loaned his campaign $50,000 and raised another $50,000. He said he is
"confident" he can raise another $100,000 in the next month.

Where will he get his money from? Hmmm.
Campaign officials for both Flynn and Chabot said they are
hoping to raise enough to have the $100,000 in the bank needed to qualify for
the National Republican Congressional Committee's "Young Guns"
program, which promotes candidates among national donors.

Money was a major factor in the 2014 race. Aguilar spent
$2.2 million while the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the
House Majority PAC spent another $1.3 million for Aguilar's effort.

Chabot spent under $500,000 and lost to Aguilar 51.7% to
48.3% — a difference of 3,460 votes — despite the Democrat's
six-percentage-point advantage among registered voters in the district. It was
a strong year for Republicans and one that saw low turnout across the state.

Chabot's career in the military and law enforcement could
position him for another strong showing in the district, which was rocked in
December by the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil since Sept. 11, 2001.

Yes, and Agui-liar's answer? Take more guns away. Chabot has the clearer, better, stronger record on national security and individual liberty.
Chabot owns a consulting firm specializing in national
security and counter-terrorism.

“We welcome [Flynn] to the conversation and will let the
voters decide,” said Chabot spokesman John Thomas. “But his experience is not
enough to fight terrorism and keep families safe.”

Aguilar's campaign is taking the 2016 race seriously: It
raised $1.5 million in 2015 and has $1 million in cash on hand, according to
federal filings. Chabot raised just over $225,000 and finished the year with
$61,808 in cash on hand.

The Congressman had to spend ten times the Chabot campaign, and yet barely made it.
Now, a little more about Mr. Flynn .
Did you know that he has donated most of his campaign money to Democrats!

Even though he donated 1000 to Romney on 10/24/12, he still donated 5150 to Democrat Gary Peters of Michigan.
Here is another file showing where Sean was sending his money.
What is going on? Gary Peters is a liberal Democrat from Michigan.
Liberal Peters, the same Congressman who tried to shut down a TV station for broadcasting a negative ad, later won the open US Senate seat in 2014, with the help of his "centrist" Republican friend'money
Let's call him out for what he is: Sean Flynn is a closet Dem running to ruin Paul Chabot's chances of taking CD-31.

Write Flynn a note, or call him and ask why he cozies up and spends his money on Democratic candidates!
Tell him to be honest — he is a Democratic Plant from Congressman Peter Agui-liar!
