SACRAMENTO – California Republican Party Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson released the following statement in response to Tim Walz fundraising in California alongside failed California Governor Gavin Newsom:

“Today, Tim Walz trades in one failed California Democrat for another as Gavin Newsom hosts him to raise campaign cash in Sacramento. Newsom knows a thing or two about cash-grabbing in Sacramento – he’s currently trying to get his plan to raise gas prices and take more hard-earned money from exhausted Californians across the finish line. The more time Walz spends in California with radical Democrats, the further away Kamala Harris’ and his already-extreme agenda moves from the American people.”
