Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) expressed optimism for the Republican Party’s future in liberal California during his speech at the California Republican Party’s fall convention in Anaheim on Saturday.
“All it takes is a little new thinking applied with old principles. The principles of Ronald Reagan,” Cotton told the packed ballroom of Republicans, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The Golden State is home to 5 million registered Republican voters and 8 million registered Democrats.
Cotton reportedly honed in on the state’s new gas tax, passed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown in April, as well as the state’s vehicle hike fee, citing the negative impacts those measures will have on every California resident. He suggested these measures could backfire against the Democrat ruling political class.
