Honored to join Maggie Mick on The Political Life podcast to share my 30+ year journey in politics—from congressional page to advocating for semiconductors. A rewarding path shaped by lessons, opportunities & service. https://t.co/LvzTeBauO4

@bresreports And whether he’ll keep his committee assignements.

@glenwalkermedia I’m liking this new, unfiltered version of you.

One of President Reagan's most trusted confidants says, "The Gipper was fully on his game to the final whistle."

[Ken Khachigian @KenKhachigian]

I was with Reagan at the end of his presidency and helped write his farewell address to the'88 GOPConvention. He was physically strong, mentally alert and showed ZERO sign of slowing down. So quit raising the question. The Gipper was fully on his game to the final whistle.

@FlashReport Yes that particular brand. I've never used one, so I'm not familiar with how they work, but the concern is that they could transmit data.

I hope you had a nice Independence Day with your family!

[Vartan Djihanian @Vartan80]

@FlashReport I'm not familiar with that particular piece of legislation, but I've spoken to military personnel who are concerned that they’re being used to map every corner of the country, including areas around military bases.

@stevemac44 That's a great picture! I audited one of his public policy classes at UCLA in the early 2000s. He was always very kind and accessible. It might be time for his comeback!

[Vartan Djihanian @Vartan80]

He's a spry 90.

[Vartan Djihanian @Vartan80]

@BrianMurrayAZ You can't blame them for trying, but it's not the silver bullet some are hoping for.

1984 Reagan/Mondale Debate. Still one of the best mic drop moments from US presidential debate history.
"I want you to know also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience." -Ronald Reagan

Happy Birthday to one of my political heroes, former CA Governor George Deukmejian.

🇦🇲🇺🇸 George Deukmejian, one of the greatest American Armenians, would have turned 96 today. Let us remember exemplary Armenian leaders across the globe who are inspiring generations and making lasting impacts in their communities.

I just experienced my first meal served by a robot in a restaurant in Los Angeles. With the rising minimum wage in California, I expect more restaurants will adopt this technology to manage costs.

The icing on the cake for Congressman-elect Vince Fong is that he'll move into former Speaker Kevin McCarthy's swanky office in Rayburn until the end of the year.

Red Lobster has many problems. When it was originally founded, it set out to make fresh seafood accessible to all, but especially those parts of the country which did not have previous access to fresh seafood. Now that seafood is readily available to most parts of the country, the company has outlived its novelty and original utility. Not to mention the endless shrimp debacle.

This episode captures why candidate recruitment is becoming increasingly challenging. How do you convince an honest, successful small business owner to leave their happy life to join the fray?
