No Kings huh?
Gavin Newsom has spared the lives of all 548 prisoners on California’s death row. It is the largest mass commutation of death sentences in modern U.S. history.

Yes, fight on!!
"The campaign’s most affecting post election review, he said, came over beers with teammates when a bartender quietly gave them a free round. “We really could have used you up there." Hilton said the encounter captured the desperation he heard from working Californians throughout the campaign. “I really hope that our new governor, the new Legislature, understands that,” he said. “That’s the number one thing I’ve learned in the last year and a half, and it breaks my heart to say it: Californians are at breaking point, and we’ve got to do something about that.” For now, Hilton plans to take a few weeks off, spend time with friends and family and enjoy the holidays before deciding what comes next. “You can’t give up,” Hilton said. “You can’t give up on the state. You can’t give up on all those people who are desperate for change.” nypost.com/2026/11/05/us-new…

I have met a lot of people in my lifetime, so I know when I am talking to someone whose goals are pure. Herb Morgan loves America and California, and his message of nonpartisan elections needs to be vigorously pursued. Thank you, Herb, for stepping and fighting for all of us.
🇺🇸 The Election Is Over. The Fight for California Isn’t. Herb Morgan congratulates Malia Cohen on her re-election and renews his call for #radicaltransparency, government accountability, and an end to fraud, waste, and corruption. Looking ahead to 2028, Herb is calling for a ballot proposition to make California's statewide executive offices nonpartisan—putting qualifications and integrity before party labels. 🙏 A heartfelt thank you to those who made this campaign possible: 🇺🇸 Chairwoman @CorrinRankin & the California Republican Party @CAGOP 🇺🇸 @CarlDeMaio & @ReformCalif Reform California 🇺🇸 Senators @SenBrianJones & @TonyStrickland 🇺🇸 Assemblyman @DavidJTangipa 🇺🇸 @SteveHiltonx & our fellow statewide candidates @GloriaJRomero @MichaelGatesESQ @VoteHawks @DonWagnerCA @realSonjaShaw 🇺🇸 The Republican Senate & Assembly caucuses 🇺🇸 @SwingWireMedia & Nicolette Mangubat 🇺🇸 Our incredible donors, volunteers, interns & supporters! The campaign may have ended. The cause has not. 🎥 Watch Herb's message and read his full statement: herbmorgan.com/post/herb-mor…

Well said Roxanne
So proud of @SteveHiltonx and everyone who ran statewide as @CAGOP, as well as all our @GOPLosAngeles candidates. We won't have a final picture of the electorate until around Thanksgiving, so take a minute to rest & regroup. So grateful for the USA. Godspeed.

Excellent idea. We desperately need the best people regardless of party.

It's amazing much damage the uni-party machine here in California has done over the past two decades to make everything worse, then the people living here simply blame all of these problems on Washington D.C. The solution is to have balance at all levels of government especially locally. Please do your research then cast your vote.

It's always an honor to be endorsed by a prestigious taxpayer organization. Thank you, LA Tax!

It's hard to trust government
They told us to use less water because of drought. We listened. So they jacked up water rates (by a LOT) to make up for the water we didn’t buy! Then they told us to buy EVs, even gave rebates. Now @XavierBecerra wants to impose EV tax AND mileage tax because EVs skip the gas tax! Can’t make this up! We do NOT have a revenue problem. We have a spending & theft & fraud problem. Period. If you want to pay WAY more tax, vote Becerra. If not, you know what to do. @SteveHiltonx is our ONLY hope.

You're both upstanding patriots. It was shocking that Lanhee lost but with ballot harvesting anything goes.
Lanhee Chen @lanheechen Endorses Herb Morgan for California State Controller! 🔥 Lanhee Chen ran against Malia Cohen in 2022 demanding accountability and transparency in Sacramento. Four years later, he’s still waiting for results. Now he’s endorsing Herb Morgan for State Controller, citing his lifetime of financial experience and commitment to holding Sacramento accountable. Same office. Same accountability questions. A new election. Vote #RadicalTranspatency on 🗳️ November 3, 2026.
There's a new version of this post

And, and there needs to be fair and open competition between all union and non-union companies. Us taxpayers demand it.
🇺🇸 UNION WORKERS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. POLITICAL ACCOUNTABILITY IS. I’m Herb Morgan, a Republican who believes workers have the right to organize, bargain collectively, and demand fair compensation. From construction sites to classrooms to hospital floors, skilled workers keep California running. I disagree with union leaders who support policies I believe make California more expensive for the very workers they represent. My priorities? Grow California’s economy. Expose government fraud. Protect taxpayer-funded services. Make sure public resources reach the workers and communities they’re intended to serve. You can respect organized labor AND demand accountability from its leadership. WORKERS DESERVE RESULTS. NOT POLITICAL EXCUSES. #RadicalTransparency

We must stop all illegal voting activities to bring back some semblance of confidence in our voting process. When will our county representatives start to realize that? LA County Urges Voters Not To Be Deterred By Fight Over 20K Ballots patch.com/california/los-ang…

I certainly would not blindly vote for someone like this.
BREAKING ON MORE POSSIBLE CORRUPTION IN PLAIN SIGHT about @SusanRubioCA Before you vote for Susan Rubio Just because she is a Democrat why don’t you ask her why she suddenly closed her legal defense fund and PAID HERSELF $75500 ? Is this who you want representing you? Seriously Southern California?

BARF! Gag me with a spoon valley girl!
We’re so close to a Becerra Era! Successful, experienced leadership is what California’s future needs. The best of California is still ahead. Join Team Becerra, and let’s win this election together!!

I love it!
Last week, I ran into a very senior California Democrat politician (who I know & won’t “out” to maintain trust). Part of the state “machine.” This person said “I’m blown away by @SteveHiltonx - he’s campaigned in every county, has serious policy proposals & is well liked. @XavierBecerra has been an embarrassment. He’s said & done nothing, taking Democrat votes for granted while Steve genuinely hustles. And his message resonates with Democrats.” Likened Hilton to Democrat SF Mayor @DanielLurie who has earned broad bipartisan support by addressing major issues with common sense policies everyone can agree with - while producing tangible results. See below👇 — Steve, unlike Becerra, is doing numerous campaign events a day, all drawing large crowds. And he does so in a t-shirt, no less!

Replying to @GaizkaEtxaniz
I’m two years into CA from MD. Retired near my kids and grand kids. I’ve been all over both many times. CA should always beat TX. It shouldn’t be close. CA can’t beat TX now. Leadership matters. Policy matters. I’m rooting for Steve Hilton to turn CA golden again.
