These California Republicans will raise money and campaign against Trump’s reelection

To start, the Lincoln Project, founded by well-known conservatives late last year, is tapping veteran California Republicans to fundraise and volunteer for campaigns in a handful of states against GOP incumbents who the committee considers Trump sympathizers.

Among the 12 Californians joining the cause to make phone calls, build the network and raise some cash are Rosario Marin, Treasurer under President George W. Bush, Cassandra Pye, a campaign consultant and former deputy chief of staff for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jim Cunneen, a former state assemblyman, San Diego Councilman Mark Kersey and political consultant Luis Alvarado.

We’re trying to boot Trump and Trumpism,” said Lincoln Project co-founder and Sacramento-based Republican strategist Mike Madrid. “The first thing to get rid of is Trump. Then, get rid of the people who enabled him.”

The Lincoln Project is unsympathetic toward moderates, like Collins and Gardner, who, Madrid said, have failed to be the “voices of reason when faced with the toughest decisions” during Trump’s presidency.


There are no moderates and cowards. There are only cowards,” Madrid said. “If you’re not willing to stand up to the party to protect the country, I don’t care what your political ideology is, you don’t belong in elected office.”
