GOP rolls out the Red Carpet for local Republicans

The local GOP (Republican Party) provided and hosted the Lincoln Reagan Dinner. Approximately 96 Del Norte Residents attended this dinner. Food provided by Lesina's Catering and let me tell you, the food was incredible placing everyone in a food coma.

Speaker of the evening was Sonja Shaw from Chino California

. Shaw the president of the Chino Valley Unified school board, has been a vocal opponent of California policies that allow transgender students to participate in girls sports and prohibits school districts from requiring teachers to tell parents if they believe a child identifies as LGBTQ+. She doesn’t think California should spend more money on education, but wants more of it to make it to classrooms.

Michael Greer, President of the Republican Central Committee also presented his speech for California State Assemblymen.
