I’m a Republican in California. I know I cannot win California today. Not alone. Not the way we’re fighting now.
We are outnumbered and we have to stop pretending we’re not.
Here are the real numbers as of 2025:
We have 22.9 million registered voters in this state. 10.3 million are registered Democrats (45.27%), only 5.7 million are registered Republicans (25.22%), and 5.1 million are No Party Preference (22.34%).
That means Democrats start every statewide election with a +4.6 million voter head start.
Look at the seats:
Congress: 52 seats total. 43 Democrats, 9 Republicans.
State Assembly: 80 seats. 60 Democrats, 19 Republicans + 1 vacancy/independent.
State Senate: 40 seats. 30 Democrats, 9 Republicans.
Democrats have a veto-proof supermajority in both houses in Sacramento. They hold 90 of the 120 legislative seats total — that’s 75%.
To even break the supermajority, we don’t need to win everything. We need to flip 7 seats in the Assembly and 4 in the Senate. Just that. That’s the first goal of PROJECT 2029.
How did Democrats do it? They didn’t win California overnight. They built a machine. Now we build the same machine, but for us, to SAVE CALIFORNIA.
This is how they did it, and how we flip it:
1. THE DEMOCRAT PATH: Own The Smallest Office — WE DO IT NOW
Democrats took school boards in the 90s and 2000s while Republicans were focused on President. Those school board members became city council members. City council became Assembly.
They have zero uncontested seats. We have hundreds.
In 2026 and 2028, almost every Assembly seat and 20 of 40 Senate seats are up. Under PROJECT 2029, we recruit ONE Republican for EVERY single school board, water board, and city council race in 10 target counties: Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, Kern, Fresno, Tulare, Shasta, Placer, El Dorado, and parts of LA County.
You don’t need to win LA. You need to win Huntington Beach, Clovis, Bakersfield, Yorba Linda, and make Democrats spend money there.
2. THE DEMOCRAT PATH: Registration Is The Real Election — WE DO IT NOW
Democrats win because they register at DMV, colleges, and welfare offices automatically. Republicans wait for people to come to us.
PROJECT 2029 means we register like our state depends on it — because it does.
Focus on the 5.1 million NPP voters. Those are not liberals. In California, a huge chunk of NPP are Latino men, young men, and small business owners who left the GOP but never became Democrats. They are pro-parent, pro-police, pro-small business. If we register just 20% of them — about 1 million voters — we cut the Democrat lead from 20 points to 12 points overnight. That wins us those 7 Assembly seats.
Where? Outside of every gun store, church, Home Depot, youth baseball game, and community college trade program. Not at a GOP dinner. In the real world.
3. THE DEMOCRAT PATH: Ballot Harvesting and 45 Days of Voting — WE USE THE RULES THEY WROTE
Democrats passed laws for 45 days of mail-in voting and legal ballot harvesting. Then they mastered it. Republicans complained about it.
Stop complaining. Use it.
PROJECT 2029 has a Ballot Chase team in every legislative district. Democrats have unions do it. We need churches, veteran groups, and mom groups doing the same thing. We don’t wait for Election Day. We vote our 5.7 million Republicans in the first 7 days, then we spend 38 days chasing NPP and low-propensity Republicans who stayed home.
If 71% of voters in California — including 59% of Democrats — support voter ID, that’s a winning message even here. We talk about election integrity as election confidence, not conspiracy.
4. THE DEMOCRAT PATH: Talk About California, Not Washington DC
Democrats in California never run on Biden or Pelosi. They run on “protecting California.”
We need to run on SAVING California.
No more talking only about what’s happening in DC. Talk about what’s happening on their street:
Rent for a 1-bedroom in LA is $2,400. A mortgage payment on a starter home is $4,000.
Homeowners insurance is leaving the state.
Retail theft is legal up to $950 and every mom knows it.
Public schools are 75th in reading despite spending the most money ever.
That wins in CA-13, CA-22, CA-27, CA-41, CA-45 — those 5 seats Democrats are already targeting to flip to 48-4. If we hold those 9 and flip back 2, we hold the House majority for Republicans nationally.
5. THE FINAL GOAL: 2029 IS THE LAUNCH, NOT THE FINISH
PROJECT 2029 isn’t about winning Governor in 2026. It’s about building the bench to win in 2030.
Year by year:
2026: Break the supermajority. Win 7 Assembly, 4 Senate. Hold our 9 Congressional seats.
2028: Win 3 Congressional seats back. Get to 12 Republicans in Congress. Win 5 more Assembly seats. We are now at 32 Republicans in the Assembly — enough to block bad bills.
2030: With new maps in 2031 coming, we are competitive enough to have a real Republican for Governor who can win with 48% of the vote + NPP.
I know as one Republican I cannot win California. But as a United Republican Party that finally learns to fight like Democrats fight — door to door, block by block, ballot by ballot — we can.
Democrats took California in 20 years. We can take it back in 5 if we start now.
This is PROJECT 2029. I’m starting in my precinct this week,
