CA-31 San Bernardino- June 7th – Tonight, Paul Chabot won the open primary and bested three other candidates despite being outspent by over a combined million dollars. Chabot prevailed as the Republican nominee going on to battle Rep. Pete Aguilar in November.
Incumbent Aguilar had one of the worst showings of any Democrat in California, at just 43% of the votes cast.
Chabot’s Chief Strategist John Thomas stated, “We look forward to a rematch. Aguilar’s abysmal record has done nothing to bring jobs back to our community and he is fundamentally not equipped to keep us safe from terror and crime. November will be a knockout.”
Paul Chabot said, “Our campaign has been consistent from the outset – that the number one job of government is to keep families safe. Safe from gangs. Safe from terror. Provide economic opportunities to succeed. And the voters agreed. We are pleased with the outcome of tonight’s primary and look forward to winning in November.”
Thank you to every citizen who cast a vote for us and thank you to the thousands of campaign supporters who gave of their time, resources, efforts and trust in us. I will be forever in your debt.
Thank you again. God bless San Bernardino County. God bless America.

I am hoping you win this November. Pete Aguilar’s office has fell short of my expectations with regards to helping me with the Veteran’s Administration, and resolving my health issues. Veteran’s issues should be a huge item addressed this election. If a Veteran is sick every disposable resource should be allocated to resolve this. I think this issue should be bipartisan always.
