LW America First Republican Club

The LW America First Republican Club is focusing on the March 5 primary race for Congress, since the incumbent Democratic congresswoman is running for United States Senate.

Scott Baugh is the endorsed Republican candidate. One argument used against him is that he has run for the office three times previously and lost. In each case he was running against an incumbent member of Congress. In this case, there is now no incumbent because the would-be incumbent is running for the seat left vacant by the late Sen. Diane Feinstein.

Baugh graduated summa cum laude from Liberty University, one of the two top conservative colleges in the nation, in 1984. In 1987, he earned his juris doctor degree from the McGeorge School of Law, another prestigious school.

His major Republican opponent, Max Ukropina, has considerable appeal as a non-politician. He spoke to the LW Republican Club a few months ago and was clear and articulate on the issues. As it is, he has virtually no name ID in the district and little prospect of gaining any significant amount before the election.

The LW Republican Club believes in legal immigration and secure borders, peace through strength, lower taxes, cutting government spending, free enterprise capitalism, family values, parental control of education, public safety through well-funded law enforcement and an America first foreign policy.

Monthly meetings are held in Clubhouse 3, Room 2, on the third Wednesday of each month at 5 p.m. for socializing and 5:30 for the speaker.

The club booth, located near Clubhouse 6, will be open each Monday, Wednesday and Friday in February from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. At the booth, residents can sign the Protect Kids of CA petition, register to vote, change their party affiliation or just enjoy pleasant conversation.
