When new district lines are revealed, life will change for many elected officials in California.

You may be forced to run against a fellow Republican lawmaker. You may face a challenge from a local Supervisor or City Councilmember or a self-funder from the business community.  Due to the new “open primary” rules, public employee unions, trial lawyers and other liberal special interest groups may decide to “play” in your primary.  At the very least, you will need to introduce yourself to many new voters.

GBA Inc. is California’s most successful Republican consulting firm, with an unmatched track record of success in Congressional and Legislative campaigns. We can help you advance your career under your new district lines.
