The Hill: We need to know how far Russia's attack on our sovereignty really goes - by Ron Nehring
In conservative circles there is no agreement on the importance of investigations into the ongoing Russian influence campaigns in the United States that first came to light in 2016. Some argue the issue is old, or fake, and we should move on. Others say we must investigate and expose everything. After playing a small role in the 2016 presidential campaign, and examining the facts in light of my own experiences, my answer is clear: We must fully understand every knowable action taken in connection with Russia’s influence campaign and make certain every American knows what took place.

The Hill: Perfect Storm builds against California Republicans - by Reid Wilson
Veteran political reporter Reid Wilson contacted me for my take on the political dynamic in California for 2018. It's a challenging situation, to say the least. Here's what I said:
“If the Republican Party fails to have nominees on the November ballot in California, it will be a total disaster for the party in an already challenging state in a year when history already favors the Democrats,” said Ron Nehring, a former California Republican Party chairman who ran for lieutenant governor in 2014. “The top of the ticket drives turnout.”

Flashreport: Repeal Proposition 14 to restore choice in California elections - by Ron Nehring
This week California Republican Party delegates received an email from some former legislators with the odd pitch that Republicans should preserve the deeply flawed “top two” primary system better known as Proposition 14. While we all respect those Republicans who have served in the legislature, this request is truly bizarre given what has happened to our party under this failed system. Proposition 14 should be repealed – immediately – so every voter in California has the opportunity to vote for a Republican in general elections. Full story
