The California Secretary of State released their latest report on voter registration trends for the state since February, and Republican registration surged in every State Senate, State Assembly, and Congressional District in all 58 counties.
Carl DeMaio, chairman of Reform California Chairman and a candidate for State Assembly, says that the data is a good sign for Republicans in the upcoming November 2024 election.
“This massive Republican voter registration surge is proof that California voters are waking up and are rebelling against the extremism of the Democrats’ Super Majority control of our state government," said DeMaio.
"Californians are feeling the pain of the failed policies of Democrats in our state - and want real change to address issues like the skyrocketing cost of living, a dangerous crime wave, record homelessness, an open border, and failing schools," he continued.
The registration news tracks closely with the result of recent polling on voter attitudes in California. Conducted May 23-June 2, 2024, a PPIC Poll released shows:
- Newsom disapproval is at 54% (versus 44% approve)
- Biden’s disapproval is at 56% (versus 42% approve)
- Democrat state legislature disapproval is at 57% (versus 40% approve)
Additionally, 62% of California voters say the state is headed in the wrong direction – suggesting a huge appetite for change has developed in the state.
"But it is not enough to have discontent - you have to ask people to make the decision to change their voter registration," explained DeMaio.
DeMaio credited grassroots efforts and the extensive voter registration ground game of groups like former Ambassador Richard Grenell's Fix California for their work that led to this news.
"I want to commend the exceptionally impactful voter registration efforts being led by former Ambassador Rick Grenell and his FIX CALIFORNIA team for the crucial role they are playing in producing this success!” said DeMaio.
DeMaio and Reform California will be focused on translating these registration gains into mobilized and knowledgable voters in November by sending their annual "Plain English" voter guide statewide in October. The guide aims to break down ballot measures in easy-to-understand terms and boost voter turnout for conservative reform-minded candidates. The guide will be available closer to the election.
