Tom Palzer for U.S. Senate 2018

I'm announcing that I intend to run for the U.S. Senate in 2018 to defeat incumbent Diane Feinstein (D).  I'm doing this now for four (4) important reasons:

1. We need ONE STRONG CONSTITUTIONALLY CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE to defeat the Democrat candidate in June and again in November of 2018;
2. Our Party officials need to support the Republican candidate with the MOST EXPERIENCE of all other candidates.  I have 32 years of experience working with and advising elected and appointed officials at all levels of government.  I've worked with over 30 federal and state agencies, the Department of Defense, Department of Transportation, Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Department of Commerce and many others.  I am the candidate with the most experience to serve you in the U.S. Senate.
3. Our Party DID NOT SUPPORT THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE WITH THE MOST EXPERIENCE IN 2016.  It played politics with less experienced candidates.  These candidates, who the media said were the wrong candidates appearing in televised debates, lost the 2016 election to two Democrats.
4. OUR PARTY DOES NOT SUPPLY OUR CANDIDATES WITH THE DATA IT HAS AT THE STATE AND REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE (RNC) LEVELS.  As the candidate with the most experience in 2016, along with 7 other Republican candidates, we had absolutely no data provided to us by our own (our) Party. This guaranteed that no Republican could not be competitive; that all of our candidates were at a disadvantage right out of the gate.                                                                                                                                                                         The State Central Committee's policy for withholding the databases is that the data may be compromised. This lack of wisdom on the part of the Republican Party in California has greatly contributed to our Party's inability to elect a candidate to the U.S. Senate since 1988.  We need to reverse this defeatist practice to ensure that our candidates are provided with what we need to win elections at all levels of government or we're going to lose, not only our races, but our Republican base will continue to be stripped away.

What can you do?

You can contact the Republican State Central Committee members and tell them to change the Committee's policy for candidates regarding the availability of the databases; that you agree that the Committee has handicapped Republican candidates in the past; that you want this policy changed NOW, early in the process in order to support our candidates in the future.

As for me . . . .

I am willing to put myself out there, once again, in 2018 as I did in 2016, with all of the time away from family and substantial cost to run a race if our State Central Committee unites behind the ONE MOST EXPERIENCED CONSTITUTIONALLY CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE. Let's break down this wall within our own Party here in California.

Thank you!

Sincerely

Tom Palzer
