College Republicans Pour into San Diego for Ground Assault

Last night after returning from the rally at Jeff Denham's headquarters in Modesto I headed to the Town and Country Hotel in San Diego to talk with the army of College Republicans who spent the weekend going door to door to drive Republican turnout for Republican council candidates.

Twenty years ago this September I joined the College Republicans at my campus, and we're particularly interested in seeing the CR's here in California grow while providing opportunities for the next generation of Republican leaders. In fact, many of today's best legislative and campaign staffers are CR graduates.

The CR's who gathered in San Diego this weekend were from all around the state -- Northern California, Los Angeles, Long Beach. Even USC and UCLA folks in the same room -- now THAT's unity for the cause. While walking precincts for Republican council candidates, these CR's were also gaining great campaign experience on the front lines of the intense battle over the future of San Diego following the city's financial meltdown in 2004.

Congratulations to all of the CR's who were out on the field for our team this weekend, in San Diego and elsewhere. Great work!
