SAN DIEGO, Calif.--A week before the California Primary, over a hundred people gathered in an empty field in San Diego Otay Business Park just across the border from Tijuana International Airport, in support for Travis Allen, GOP candidate for the Governor of California.

On Sunday May 27, with the crowd repeatedly chanting “Take back California” and “Build that wall,” Assemblyman Travis Allen of Huntington Beach spoke through a loudspeaker: “There is only one true conservative in this race.” “I am Travis Allen. I will be the next governor of California!”

Undeterred

On May 18, President Trump tweeted his endorsement of the other GOP candidate, John Cox.

Allen spoke to an enthusiastic crowd that the people that elected the President are who the President has endorsed - the people of California that want to take their state back. “I was the first one to talk to President Trump and Jeff Sessions to come to California and sue California over the illegal sanctuary state. We have now done that.”

“I was the first one to tell Californians that we are not only going to secure that border but also build that wall. I am the only candidate in the entire race that always had a consistent story. I am the one who always tells you truth, always a rock solid conservative!”

Grassroots Support

Some supporters drove for hours to the border rally. Joann Krobeil of Huntington Beach, is an avid supporter of Allen, and has been volunteering since January. “I see things in my own town change. I HAVE to do something. I think Allen has the energy to take over Sacramento. He is a three-time assemblyman, he knows what kind of battle he needs to do. He had a plan since day one. All the opposition guys they don’t have a plan, or are catering to the norms.”
