CA Congressional District 48 attracted 'Strange Bed Mates' during the LAST WEEK of the election

My Client, Republican Candidate Scott Baugh being interviewed by Elex Michaelson of Fox News Los Angeles in the Team Baugh Campaign Headquarters.
Here is exactly what happened when the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee needed a Hail Mary in California's 48th congressional district on Tuesday night. 

This is what the political process has become. Destroy lives of political contenders... 

In order to win. We have to bring civility back to our political process. 


Here is a part of the NBC story that needs to be followed...hence the weirdo political bed mate strategy....
At the same time they were boosting Rouda, Democrats were busy mucking up the Republican side of the race -- first by running ads against Republican Scott Baugh, who was viewed as the biggest threat to finish second behind Rohrabacher, then by boosting Republican John Gabbard, a veteran and businessman, in an attempt to fracture the district's Republican vote.
McLaughlin called the nearly $2 million shelled out by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to split Republicans "incredibly helpful" and key to stemming a top-two lockout.
"The negative Baugh spending worked," he said. "Baugh was in third place, and then the spending came against Baugh late. That started at the same time as our pro-Harley spending. So Baugh's Election Day results trickled off -- he had an OK position in the early vote, then trickled off to go into fourth place, which was the exact opposite of our trajectory."
We have to be better as a society. As the senior advisor to Republican Congressional candidate Scott Baugh, and previously serving in the same position with former candidat Stelian Onufrei, I worked for the past 14 months in the 48th congressional district in order to bring change and a new era of leadership into the political process in this volatile portion of Hardball political territory. The story of what happened in this one American congressional district needs to be documented and shared. We cannot continue to live in a society where scorched-earth politics is allowed to take place campaign after campaign after campaign after campaign. 

There has to be a way that we can meet in the middle. 

Good people need to continue to be involved in the political process. I have worked in politics since I've been 12 years old.... That's a total of 46 years... What happened in this California primary election was staggering neck whipping head spinning and most times downright fearful and ugly.

Let it sink in.
We must be better in the future. We must have a political system that is controlled by people the voters instead of political party bosses.
