Wednesday, 9/8/21

Good morning fellow Californians,

The tank of this weekend's automotive events is full!  Especially Saturday with so much happening you might want to plan on hitting multiple events.

Also, this Saturday marks 20-years since

September 11th, 2021

.  May there never be a generation of American's that forget.  

Finally, on September 14th we have an opportunity to impact the direction of California.  So, iDriveSoCal is officially endorsing the following actions in the Gubernatorial Recall Election:

• Yes, Recall Gavin Newsom - he's failed our state.

• Larry Elder has iDSC's endorsement.

I've worked with Larry in my radio days.  He's a straight shooter who's wildly knowledgable about the issues our state faces.  And I believe he'll apply much-needed common-sense and practical ways to overcome those issues.

Drive on,

-T
