SACRAMENTO — Today, California Republican Party Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson released the following statement regarding next week’s 2nd GOP Presidential Debate in Simi Valley, CA, followed by the CAGOP Fall 2023 Convention: 

“All eyes will be on California next week as our state hosts the 2nd GOP Presidential Debate in my hometown of Simi Valley and on the hallowed grounds of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. Following this historic debate, the momentum will shift to the largest California Republican Party Convention in our history, where four presidential candidates, including President Donald J. Trump, Governor Ron DeSantis, Senator Tim Scott, and Vivek Ramaswamy, will take the stage. With 169 delegates up for grabs – the most of any state, California will play a pivotal role in deciding our Party’s nominee. I can’t wait to hear from all the candidates and why they would be the best person to take on and beat Joe Biden or whomever the Democrat nominee may be in 2024.” — CAGOP Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson
