A Moment for the Movement

CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp stated, “California has been the center of leftwing destruction of our society. We believe it is crucial to do all we can to try and rescue common sense Californians who are the victims of this leftist cabal. We are seeing a powerful resurgence of conservatism and faith in America which is personified in the reelection of Donald Trump. As America rediscovers its foundational values, it’s critical that we lead the conversation with clarity, courage, and purpose.”
