AD 55 Candidates Phillip Chen and Ling-Ling Chang
The California Republican Assembly (CRA) held their convention this weekend at Knott’s Berry Farm Hotel in Buena Park with the theme “Expect the Impossible!” The organization with numerous of local units up and down the state is known as “The conscience of the Republican Party”.
Yesterday, my colleague Chris Nguyen did an excellent reporting on the CRA’s endorsements in various contests in Orange County: “Live from CRA Endorsing Convention” and “CRA Recap: Bates, Ming Unanimously Endorsed; Steel, Brough, Harper Endorsed; CD-45 Deadlock“.
The AD-55 contest took three rounds as delegates considered between trio candidates: Walnut-Valley School Board Trustee Phillip Chen, Diamond Bar Councilmembers Steve Tye and Ling-Ling Chang.
Ling-Ling Chang was knocked out in the first round. Then, it boiled down two more rounds between Phillip Chen and Steve Tye.
Phillip Chen won the necessary 2/3rds endorsement in the third round over Steve Tye by a vote of 29-14.
