Alex Glew
Engineer and business owner Dr. Alex Glew defeated five opponents, including a former assemblywoman, to win a place in the November runoff in the Peninsula's 13th Senate District contest. The seat is open because incumbent Sen. Jerry Hill has reached his term limit.

Glew ran a successful grassroots campaign, employing phone banking, party endorsements, slate mail, emails, appearances at candidate forums, and some key issues distinctions.  He received reasonable coverage from newspapers plus extra attention when he led an early poll on the race.

Expanded Republican Team to Take the Field in California's November Election

Republicans contest over 90% of state's partisan races in March primary

In the March 2020 primary, California Republicans contested 91% of the state's
partisan races - and made the runoff in 92% of those races they contested.

Two years ago, Republicans contested 82% of the state's partisan and statewide races and made the runoff in 93% of those races.
 
The increase in the number of contested districts demonstrates that Republicans
are responding to the call to take our message to every corner of California and
compete in areas that may not have heard from Republican candidates in the
recent past.   .  . .  read more

Techlash Panel Image

Lincoln Network Panel Discussion on Techlash After COVID-19
Wednesday, June 3, 2020 / 9:00 am
Online, Via Zoom

Lincoln Network Logo
The technology industry has been subject to a bipartisan "techlash" since the 2016 election. Critics argue leading tech companies have become monopolies, violate user privacy, exploit gig-economy workers, promote addictive behavior, and systematically discriminate.

The Lincoln Network will host a virtual panel discussion featuring:
- Alex Strapp, Progressive Policy Institute
- Matthew Feeney, Cato Institute's Project on Emerging Technologies
- Rachel Bovard, Internet Accountability Project; and 
 -Terry Schilling, American Principles Project. 

They will explore whether Tech's response to the crisis, the success of tools like Zoom, and lackluster responses by local, state, and federal governments could shift perceptions of the industry in a positive direction.   Join Lincoln Network for a discussion of the past, present, and future of the techlash after COVID-19.

RSVP: Learn more and register online.
