Republicans of River City (RRC) members were proud to back Tamika Hamilton for Congress in 2020 when she ran against John Garamendi and we were looking forward to backing her again this year.

We were surprised when Tamika decided to jump into the new sixth congressional district. Knowing Hamilton didn’t live in the new district and would be unable to vote for herself against Rep. Ami Bera.

RRC members believe you should always follow the money if you think you want to support a candidate. So we logged into the Federal Fair Elections Commission website (WWW.FEC.GOV) and discovered – according to the latest filings – that Tamika Hamilton (C00706374) paid herself from her campaign fund over $25,000.00 for childcare in 2021 and 2022.

RRC members also discovered that Tamika paid over $36,000.00 to another woman for childcare using campaign funds.

So, over $61,000.00 of Tamika’s campaign funds is spent on childcare thus far. She has five children.

RRC members want to know did Hamilton pay income taxes on the $25,000.00 she paid herself for childcare?

We find that her actions are difficult to justify and maybe against federal law.

RRC members have a problem with Tamika asking us and other voters to give her money if she intends to use it to pay herself for childcare.

Tamika paid herself over $17,000.00 in mileage reimbursement. She also spent over $3,000.00 on cab fares and over $800.00 on Uber.

The unanswered question for RRC members is how would Tamika Hamilton spend Taxpayers’ money if she is able to win a seat in Congress?

Carl Burton, President of Republicans of River City said, this year RRC members cannot recommend to the voters that they should either vote for or donate funds to the Tamika Hamilton’s campaign.

Endorsements

"I strongly endorse Chris Bish for Congress, District 6. I am a fierce mama bear who formed Natomas USD for Freedom to fight for my children’s medical freedom and against indoctrination. Natomas USD for Freedom includes over 140 members including parents, teachers and community members who regularly speak up at school board meetings and advocate for their children.

I have personally witnessed Chris speak up at two Natomas Unified School District board meetings as she shares the same values as me. Once she spoke up against the radical left indoctrination that was being done by a high school teacher as reported on Project Veritas and another time she spoke up against Gavin Newsom’s student vaccine mandate. She is in the trenches and isn’t afraid to fight for constitutional rights.

Chris is a leader who inspires me to keep fighting and she will most certainly be a leader in Congress."

"I ran for this office this year, but I dropped out to endorse Chris Bish because I feel she has the best chance of winning, she has the highest integrity, and the best intentions to represent our American values as our Founding Fathers intended in the U.S. Constitution.

Her clean political record and her strong character are exactly what we need to get the job done right in Washington, D.C.

Be sure to vote for her if you want prosperity without corruption, safer communities, and great economic growth. I truly believe she is by far the best candidate for the job. Vote for Chris!"

“I am delighted to endorse your candidacy for Congress. Your long residency in and strong understanding of the needs of the district are unmatched by any other candidate.

First and foremost, your clear perspective that public service is a calling rather than a means by which you can get your campaign to pay your everyday expenses is welcome; I am so tired of the corruption that pervades our system.

When voters consider the incumbent's past corruption and ten-year track record of failure to create solutions for any of the problems we face I am confident that you will be successful.”

“I am endorsing Chris Bish for Congress running in the newly reapportioned Congressional District 6 of Ami Bera. In a wave election, Bera ought to be vulnerable. Chris is a very energetic, inspired businesswoman and a fighter.

Wherever she speaks, she inspires strong, positive audience reactions . . . She will have a strong ground game . . . I believe she will be a leader in Congress.”

“I endorse Chris for Congress. She is a hometown girl, who works in the area, raised her children here. She shops in our local stores and fills up her gas tank in Sacramento.

Chris knows our problems of water, roads, and homelessness. She will be a strong voice for us in Washington.”

"I support Chris Bish for Congress. Why? Because she is a fighter and will do what’s right for both our state and nation.

I cannot support her opponent, Tamika Hamilton, for numerous reasons. Chief among them are real concerns on how she stayed in the Air Force for 15 years yet failed promotion to basic SNCO. If someone fails basic promotion after 15 years, I sincerely doubt she will be able to rise to the demands of time and dedication required of a member of Congress.

I have known Chris Bish for years now and am proud to endorse her. I firmly believe she is the right choice for both Veterans and Sacramento!"

The California Republican Assembly, the volunteer army that President Ronald Reagan once called “the conscience of the Republican Party,” has overwhelmingly endorsed Chris Bish for Congress in the 6th District.

"Chris Bish’s campaign has Republican volunteers and base voters excited, energized and ready for a conservative sea change in Washington, DC,” said CA GOP Member and local CRA member Bill Cardoza.

As California’s oldest and most influential Republican volunteer organization, CRA’s endorsement is a coveted privilege for those candidates who meet their high standards — conservative, principled, electable, and the overwhelming choice of our membership. When CRA endorses a candidate, they are committing volunteers, resources, and their reputation.

Chris Bish is one of the leading Republican critics of Governor Gavin Newsom and his grab of executive power throughout the pandemic. She sued Gov. Newsom in April 2020 in the Eastern District of California alleging that he grossly abused his power by using the coronavirus pandemic to expand his authority to unprecedented lengths.

Although the state lifted its mask mandate, effective March 12, Bish said her case is not moot. “Even though this is a temporary lifting of Gov. Newsom’s mask mandate allowing us to breathe, he still maintains the original emergency order and all he has to do is hold a press conference announcing that we are in lockdown again.” U.S. District Judge John Mendez in the Eastern District has set Sept. 19, 2022 as the trial’s first day.

Chris is currently campaigning to represent the 6th Congressional District in Sacramento and surrounding areas. “I’ve said this before, but I’m no stranger to hard work. I’m no stranger to big tasks and long odds.

My whole life has been staring down the impossible. I have the confidence and experience to win this race and I’m hoping you’ll be with me as we do.”
