May Speaker: Chad Bianco, Candidate for California Governor
Chad Bianco’s story is a California story.
In 1989, he chose our state for its promise of opportunity and a place to raise a family.
He dedicated over 31 years to protecting our communities as a Riverside County Sheriff’s Deputy, graduating top of his class and demonstrating unwavering commitment to public safety.
As Sheriff, Chad Bianco confronted the realities of California’s struggling public safety system. He inherited a department facing a budget crisis, dwindling morale, and fractured relationships with local law enforcement.
He tackled these challenges head-on, stabilizing finances on strict budgets, rebuilding partnerships and collaboration and ensuring our deputies had the support they needed.
Chad Bianco has been a vocal advocate for reforming state laws that have eroded public safety, leading the charge for Proposition 36, which restored common-sense sentencing on crime.

April Monthly Luncheon / General Meeting

Event Speakers:

Kira Davis – The Orange Report
Host Kira Davis breaks down some of the stories and cultural issues facing Orange County, California. Kira has a 20 year career in conservative media, with appearances on Fox News among other outlets, and bylines in The Daily Mail, Newsweek, Forbes, Breitbart.com and more. Orange County has a lot going on, but we’re sandwiched between two major American cities, so OC news tends to be lost in the media shuffle. The Orange Report highlights local stories and issues from a conservative point of view. Information is power.
Kira lives in south Orange County with her family and a blind dog.
