SACRAMENTO – Today, Assemblyman Travis Allen (R-Huntington Beach) announced that his campaign for Governor has raised more than one million dollars from over 12,000 contributors.

Assemblyman Travis Allen: CA Supreme Court’s Decision to Not Hear Gas Tax Repeal a “Mockery of Justice” but Will Not Stop Repeal

Travis Allen vows to continue fight to Repeal Jerry Brown’s $52 Billion Gas Tax

SACRAMENTO – Today, Assemblyman Travis Allen (R-Huntington Beach) denounced the Supreme Court’s decision to not hear his case against Attorney General Becerra for “intentionally misleading voters” on the ballot title and summary for the Repeal of the Gas Tax.

“The California Supreme Court has made a mockery of justice and brazenly endorsed AG Xavier Becerra’s outright deception of Californians, robbing Californians of honest ballot title and summaries not only for the Gas Tax Repeal, but for every initiative that we vote on,” said Assemblyman Travis Allen. “With this decision, the Supreme Court has given the overtly political Democrat Attorney General an unrestricted license to lie to Californians, and has relinquished its duty to enforce California’s Constitution as it relates to ballot initiatives. This is a sad day for direct democracy in California, and every Californian should take this as a warning that we clearly can no longer trust the Attorney General or the California Supreme Court to be impartial or factual. Read your ballot initiatives closely – now the Attorney General is lying to you and there’s nothing the Supreme Court or anyone else in California is going to do about it.” Continue reading→

Assemblyman Travis Allen Introducing Legislation Re-Establishing a Part-Time Legislature for California

SACRAMENTO – Today, Assemblyman Travis Allen (R-Huntington Beach) announced he is introducing legislation to return the California Legislature to being a part-time institution, ending decades of political careerism and re-establishing a true citizen-legislature in the nation’s most populous state.

“During five years of serving in the California Assembly, I’ve seen firsthand the waste in the California Legislature. Most Legislative sessions are little more than a 45 minute formality, with legislators commemorating calendar events and reading public obituaries; they are a facade designed to pay legislators and give the appearance of activity to the public,” said Assemblyman Travis Allen. “California’s fifty-year experiment with a full-time legislature is a dismal failure. Today’s California government spends, taxes, and regulates with historical precedence and a near total disregard for the will of California’s citizens.” Continue reading→

GOP Field For California Governor Grows, and Chance of All-Democrat Runoff

by JON FLEISCHMAN

Last week Assemblyman Travis Allen (R-Huntington Beach) announced his candidacy for Governor of California.
Allen, a firebrand conservative, will no doubt be popular with grassroots conservative activists around the state. The irony is that Allen’s candidacy may end up being a reason why California voters may be choosing between two Democrats on their general election ballots.

There are two factors that, together, augur bad news for Allen, and other would-be GOP governors of the Golden State. Continue reading→
