Based on the facts and the evidence, that enabler is Mayor Eric Garcetti, despite attempts by Mayor Garcetti and the Biden Administration to frame complaints against him as a political hit job, some of the individuals who’ve come forward and shed light on the misconduct are from Mayor Garcetti’s own staff.

This amendment is inadequate, as it does not cover non-immigrant temporary visas, like students, who also pose security risks, the CCP views every citizen as an instrument to serve the party, and they encourage and apply leverage against many of their citizens working and studying abroad to continue that theft.

I’m writing to you today because I believe it’s time for the Senate Republican Conference to be far more bold and resolute than we have been in the past.

Republican voters expect and deserve to know our plan to promote and advance conservative values.
