National Republicans aim to help LanheeChen break California GOP losing streak
“Our campaign is really about competence and about defending the taxpayers — it’s not about ideology,” Chen said Thursday in a telephone interview with the Washington Examiner. “I don’t think there’s a Right way, or a Left way, to be a good controller.
“The statewide math in California is impossible for Republicans. Defying the numerical disadvantage would require an overwhelming financial advantage and a deeply flawed opponent,” Stutzman said. “Having said that, to the extent California voters actually do get exposed to Lanhee, I think they’ll find him a refreshing kind of GOP candidate that they haven’t seen the likes of in a long time.”
Republicans involved in national politics are forming a super PAC to bolster his campaign, with details likely to emerge in August. “A major independent effort is coming together for Lanhee Chen,” a GOP operative involved confirmed. “Does Lanhee have a chance to win with the national environment? Yes. But he’s also a great candidate.”
When candidates for state office in California file their next fundraising disclosure, Chen estimates he will report $2.2 million to $2.4 million in cash on hand. That’s chump change in a state that is geographically vast and has multiple expensive media markets. But Chen is aggressively raising money while husbanding resources for the post-Labor Day home stretch.
