DeSantis Campaign Press Release - California Conservative Leaders Welcome Ron DeSantis Pre-Debate

Tallahassee, FL - This week, Ron DeSantis is in California to participate in the Republican National Committee's second primary debate at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley. The debate comes after a whirlwind month of campaigning and spreading the DeSantis vision to reverse Biden's failures, revive the American dream, and deliver victories for American families.

Conservative leaders from the California State Assembly today welcomed DeSantis to the Golden State.

"As a father of four, protecting parental rights is non-negotiable," said CA State Assemblyman Joe Patterson. "Governor DeSantis is a proven leader who as President will not only advocate for parents, but will fight for our kids."

"We need a President who will fight for small businesses and protect our basic freedoms—something many Californians have had to sacrifice," said CA State Assemblyman Heath Flora. "Governor DeSantis is the only candidate I trust to take this fight to the White House and win."

"As President, Governor DeSantis will stand up to the radical left and protect our freedoms," said CA State Assemblyman Tom Lackey.

Following the debate, Ron DeSantis will deliver a keynote address at the California GOP Fall Convention. This trip to California also comes ahead of DeSantis' upcoming debate against CA Governor Gavin Newsom, which will contrast Florida's success against California's failed leftist policies.
