Many have been saying, for quite some time, that Republicans need to embrace their principals and show how they work in elections. Mayor Faulconer is a perfect example of how this works when implemented. He ran on his Conservative values and told people how he intended to solve the issues in San Diego, using these values. He won in a landslide, in a typically Democrat stronghold. Can we say, "I told you so" to our establishment RINO's yet? Read more on Newsmax:
Republican Kevin Faulconer's victory in Tuesday's San Diego mayor's race provides the GOP with a chance to study how the 47-year-old city councilman pulled off the win and set an example for other candidates across the country.
"We demonstrated that Kevin was a true reformer who was committed to such issues as pension reform and binding arbitration for city employees," Faulconer campaign quarterback Jason Roe told Newsmax.
"And we campaigned in such a way that voters did not get hung up on what his party affiliation was, but instead focused on what his message was."
In defeating Democrat and fellow Councilman David Alvarez with 55 percent of the vote to become mayor of America's eighth-largest city, Faulconer emerged triumphant in a city in which Republican voters comprise only 26 percent of the electorate, compared to 40 percent who are registered Democrats and 34 percent who are "Declined to State" — California for "independent."
