It was surprising to see John Horgan’s column regarding the San Mateo County Republican Party describing us as a “depressing afterthought” while, the national results indicate differently. This is not to say that we haven’t had our challenges locally and the Democrats have done a tremendous job in seating candidates to local races. However, our base is very energized as we’ve painfully seen the impact of prolonged one-party rule in California, as evidenced by increasing homelessness, crime, financial mismanagement, dictatorial mandates and the squandering of our vast natural resources.
We believe that the recent election results are indicative of a trend to come, in which voters are more focused on issues as opposed to party affiliation, especially with independents. These voters are very dissatisfied with the current status quo, especially in issues such as: crime, homelessness and renegade school boards attempting to indoctrinate our children and labeling parents as a threat to democracy. Our stance on these issues will welcome these independents back to the electorate.
In this election cycle we had excellent candidates who performed well in their races and the SMGOP was very active in seating Republicans in uncontested, nonpartisan races.
The fact that John Horgan is taking notice of our actions is indicative of our impact, as we fight to improve the lives of all Californians, to educate our children and to make California a state we are all proud of.

By all means! Let's elect more of the party of do-nothing except lower taxes on the wealthy, deny legitimate elections, support insurrection, lock children in cages, decimate women's rights, and more. And let's weaponize words like "Socialism" and "Progressive" as dog whistles to rile up the conservative base. And yes, this is sarcasm. It's sad times that real "conservatives" have come to this.
Thanks for your letter, Ms. Kramer, and for detailing the lowlights of the incompetent one-party rule that is turning California into a third-world state. It’s nice to see most people no longer pay attention to hysterical screeching from the rabid left, but do pay attention to real-world results, or in CA’s case, lack of results. Hopefully we’ll get more Republicans elected in California to bring our once great state back to prominence. Good luck to you!
I also see we have someone posting a list of easily debunked fake news and lies from the Dem playbook. It’s sad that instead of working to Make America Great Again, Dem’s prefer to Make America Last. Perhaps a start in Making America Great Again begins with the investigation into the Biden crime family, and in the near future, a Biden impeachment, or two.
Dear Emma - as a reticent Republican, I have no faith whatever in the currently nominated leadership that will be in charge starting with the next Congress. Until that bunch is eliminated or neutralized, I will switch to No Party Preference.

Ms. Kramer - Well said! You are not alone. We have just begun to restore America.
This is 2022. By restore America I am guessing you mean charging ahead to 1900.
Exactly!
