Dana Walsh Endorsements

Jim Gilchrist, Founder of the Minutemen

“Dana Walsh has a Five Point Plan that will solve the nation’s illegal immigration problem. You can trust her when she says she will demand the Federal Government to enforce our laws and our borders. Unlike her opponent Nancy Pelosi who has stated that enforcing immigration laws was “un-American”, Dana Walsh has a committed stand on the issues of immigration reform and border security. California needs someone in DC that will fight on behalf of taxpayers to end the influx of illegal aliens in America and that is why I wholeheartedly endorse Dana Walsh for US Congress.” 

State Senator Sam Aanestad, Conservative Republican candidate for Lt. Governor

“As someone who has served in both the California Assembly and Senate, I can recognize leadership skills.  Dana Walsh has impressed me.  She is well spoken and has a clear understanding of the difficult issues facing both our state and country,” said Aanestad.  “Republicans of the 8th district would be well served by nominating Dana Walsh.”

Donald Casper, Past Chair SFRP, SF City Commissioner

"I am proud to endorse Dana Walsh.  She represents the very best San Francisco Republican values,"

Jim Hartman, Past Chair CA GOP

“Dana Walsh will aggressively challenge Nancy Pelosi on the issues. Dana’s background working in business and in the San Francisco community makes her the best Republican candidate in the field - by far.”

Kirk Miller, Past Chair SFRP

"Dana is an intelligent, insightful, hard working, and dedicated San Francisco Republican. She is by far the best candidate to carry our political banner."

Darcy Linn, President, N.CA Chapter CWLA (CA Women's Leadership Association)

“Dana Walsh embodies the qualities we want in a Congresswoman,” said Darcy. “She has the integrity to do what is best for the American people and the courage to fight for her ideals.”

Young Republican Federation of California

"Your dedication and leadership to our ideals has earned you our support and we look forward to working to your victory in 2010."

Barbara Kiley, Past VC and Officer and current member, SFRP

"Congress has many challenges that need to be resolved.  We need the character and integrity of a person like Dana Walsh to tackle these challenges and ensure that America will remain a financially strong and independent country,"

Terrence Faulkner, Past Chair and current member SFRP & Alisa Farenzena, member, SFRP

"I endorse Dana Walsh because she is the only candidate in District 8 who understands the importance of winning the global war on terror," says Ms. Farenzena. "The other candidates cannot seem to grasp the significance of having all intelligence-gathering tactics available to us and the need to differentiate terrorists from common criminals."

David Kiachko, member, SFRP

"I especially appreciate that Dana is the only individual in the race who fully understands the terror threat to the United States and the importance of defending the Patriot Act. She is also the only Republican in the race who, while looking forward to the day our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan can be brought home safely, agrees with John McCain and General McChrystal that a cut and run policy, in both Iraq and Afghanistan, will jeopardize the safety of both our troops and the United States. Dana will work hard to protect our economy and our safety."

Janet Campbell, member, SFRP

"Like many of Dana's supporters, I am a strong proponent of fiscal integrity at all levels of government. Dana has also earned my support for her position in upholding the Constitution and recalling a repeal of the Health Care Bill. Her stances are clear and unwavering,"

Albert Chang, Chairman, Shandong Assoc, Co Chair, Chinese Alliance, Past member, SFRP

"Dana Walsh is the best candidate to take on Pelosi," said Chang. "Not only does her campaign have the necessary fundraising momentum, but Dana also has the strongest stands on the most pressing issues confronting our country."

Mike Gleim, past delegate CA GOP

Mike Gleim, former appointed delegate of the California Republican Party, Vice-Chair for Precinct Operations of the San Francisco Republican Party from 2006-2008, and most recently, Mike was the Volunteer Coordinator for the 2008 Winter California Republican Party Convention in San Francisco.

Sue Woods, Past VC and Officer and current member, SFRP

I am supporting Dana Walsh because:

    1. I know she will run as a Reagan Republican as she did in 2008,  and not embarrass the GOP. Her opponent supports ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, wants to cut defense and close military bases and is a self described anti-war activist. His leftists views will be embarrassing to the GOP.

    2. For many years, Dana has been an active member of SFGOP, serving several terms. Her opponent’s first appearance as a Republican was in 2008 when he failed to win election to the SFGOP, finishing near the bottom, while Dana was easily re-elected.

    3. Dana has raised more funds in this race than her opponent, whose campaign flyer his critical of her effort “raised over $1,4 million…over 90% went to fundraising firms”  What’s wrong with netting $140,000? This is typical fund-raising results. Her opponent tried to hire the same firms.

Harold Hoogasian, Past Member, SFRP and Republican leader

Amanda Morello, Developer of the GOP Trumpeter

“The more I look at his (John Dennis) website the more I see “Pelosi Light.”   I have met Dana over the years I have seen her unwavering support of our Troops and our Country. While a vote for John Dennis would bring the 8th District to the aisle, but I would not go as far as calling him the conservative choice… However, I believe we should support Dana because she is the most Conservative and supports our values. We are no longer going to play politics as usual, my support goes to Dana Walsh.”

George Andrews, Former Executive Director, Orange County Republican Party
