CA: Major Orange County Republican Group Lost on 96% of its Big Local Bets in Latest Election
They’ve been a dominant force in Orange County elections for decades.
In the latest November election alone, the Lincoln Club of Orange County has reported nearly $1 million in spending on local races throughout the county, weighing in on campaigns for county supervisor, city council and school board.
But this time around, the club – one of the county’s biggest GOP spending groups – lost the vast majority of its bets.
A whopping 96% of the group’s major spending on local races went to support candidates who ended up losing, or to oppose people who ended up winning, according to the spending disclosures it filed with the county.
The public disclosures filed so far show all of the club’s county committee spending through Oct. 22 and all spending over $1,000 or more since then.
Many of their endorsed candidates fell short as Democrats and independents sailed to victory.
