Voters Send Knight to Washington; Billboards Stay
Wednesday, Nov 5, 2014

In a bitter showdown that pitted two Republicans against each other to succeed Buck McKeon in Congress, state Sen. Steve Knight defeated former Sen. Tony Strickland 53.5-46.5 Tuesday. Strickland, who was McKeon’s pick, outspent his opponent 5-1 but was hampered by the fact that he didn’t live in...

Take the Buck | Commentary by Darryl Manzer
Monday, Oct 27, 2014

Reading the reports, I see Tony Strickland truly is a clone of good old “Take the Buck” McKeon but has surpassed his mentor’s ability to raise campaign funds from outside of the district. In fact, about 95 percent of all of the money Strickland has raised is from folks outside of California’s...

The Visiting Candidate
Sunday, Oct 19, 2014

The manner in which a candidate runs his or her campaign is clearly indicative of how he or she will perform if elected. Presently the campaign is the House of Representatives seat to represent California’s 25th District. It’s between Steve Knight, a 25th District resident, and Tony Strickland,...

Resident Knight
Sunday, Oct 5, 2014

I did something last night that was purely political. I attended a fundraising event for Steve Knight. I must admit, I was impressed when I met the gentleman. I can think of many reasons to vote for Steve. A big one with me is that he lives in the 25th District. His opponent cannot say that. His opponent...

Wednesday, Sep 10, 2014

Recently an online source published a pro-Tony Strickland commentary that made statements that need some sunshine. By the grace of God, we still have some semblance of America, and within that framework we get to choose our political candidates and vote accordingly. The smart way to execute that right...

Just Vote ‘No’ for 25th
Monday, Sep 1, 2014

After reading an Orange County Register article that seemed to say Sen. Steve Knight voted against a bill to ban the sale of Confederate flags on state property because the ACLU took the position it would not pass constitutional muster, I told some of my Democratic friends I was impressed by Sen. Knight’s...

Falling Dominoes
Monday, Jul 7, 2014

Happy Monday. I had a great weekend. How about you? It could have been a little cooler, but we were able to enjoy the sunshine and warmth. Remember that, next winter. We’re going to have quite a problem come November. We’ve got to pick a new congressman. The 25th District hasn’t done that in more...

Knight for Congress | Statement from Dr. Lee Rogers
Wednesday, Jun 4, 2014

Lee Rogers, M.D. First, I want to thank all my staff and volunteers, who dedicated countless hours and sweat to this campaign. I am forever grateful. We’ve accomplished so much in the past 11 months, and none of it would have been possible without your hard work. To all the donors who invested in my...

Strickland, Knight Advance to November Showdown

Tony Strickland Voters in California’s 25th Congressional District made history Tuesday when they gave the go-ahead to Republicans Tony Strickland and Steve Knight. It’s the first time two members of the same party are lined up to fight each other for the seat in the general election. It’s a quirk...
