Transforming Candidate Recruitment for Broader Political Engagement

"Right now, there are more Republicans in California than there were during the Schwarzenegger administration."
That's just one of many eye-opening observations provided by our esteemed guest, former chairwoman of the California Republican Party and the first Latina to hold the role, Jessica Millan Patterson. Patterson reflects on her six-year tenure, during which she spearheaded voter registration efforts, expanded Latino representation in the GOP, and helped shift the political landscape in the nation's bluest state. Mike Madrid invites her to discuss the challenges of running a state party, the growing influence of Latino voters, and what Democrats may be getting wrong. If you are looking for compelling insight on the future of Republican politics in California, this episode is for you!
