Rep. Dan Lungren (R – CA07) has been a fixture in California politics for years. Say what you will about the terrible policy choices he represents, the man knows how to work the system.
That’s why it’s almost endearing to see him taking 25 year old RNCC “Young Gun” Ricky Gill under his wing. Ricky just graduated from law school and is convinced he’s got the qualifications to represent the people of the 9th Congressional district. What he lacks in qualifications, the national Republican Party believes he makes up for in money, and that’s where Dan Lungren comes in.
Lungren is pairing up with Gill for a good old out-of-district fundraiser at the Sequoyah Country Club. We have yet to hear how much cash the event is expected to raise but we can already see some of the shine start to wear off this Young Gun as he pairs up with one of the craftiest and most unapologetically partisan Republicans in the House.
Stay tuned.
