Talked about this at the Week Ahead meeting. Would be going out on Monday. Will be talking to the CA Dems/Orange County Dems later today to see if they can hold a press conference on Tuesday. From me, since it's my region.

SL: While Chairman Priebus is in Orange County later this week...

On Wednesday, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus will be making his way<http://www.capitalnewyork.com/sites/default/files/RNCInvite.pdf> to Stanton, California, a city located in Orange County, for the grand opening of a Republican Leadership Initiative office. We know the Chairman has been having a rough couple of months weeks days, particularly now that Donald Trump will be his Party's nominee, but we wanted to make sure that he saw the following press release while he's out in Orange County:

"What a time to be alive. Thanks to Donald Trump and the GOP in general, what was once a Republican stronghold is now starting to turn blue. You would think that Republicans would've taken the time to heed the lessons of their own autopsy report, but they clearly haven't - as evidenced by all the divisive, reckless, and irresponsible rhetoric we've been hearing from their presumptive nominee - and now they're starting to pay the consequences." -- Walter Garcia, DNC Spokesperson
