Neel Kashkari Election Party

Some of the members of the Claremont College Republican club had the opportunity to go to Neel Kashkari's election party last night in Orange County.  We were invited to stand on the stage behind him as he gave his concession speech.  On stage was Libby Ramsey, Jennifer Sitton, Cameron Ridley, and myself.  It was pretty exciting for those of us who had never been on TV before.

Here's the link to a brief segment of Kashkari walking on stage and us in the background.

I believe he received about 41% of the vote last night compared to Governor Brown's 58%.  Kashkari's focus for his campaign was "Jobs and Education. That's it."  In his speech, Kashkari announced he was"just getting warmed up" and he challenged Gov. Brown to "be bold" his next four years. 

Also, Kashkari is a huge Michael Jackson fan.  MJ was playing when he walked on stage and throughout the night.
