The above mailer (front and back shown) are being sent out to households in California. They are deceptively printed to look like campaigning fliers from Republican gubernatorial candidate Travis Allen; effectively denouncing rival Republican candidate John Cox as a closet Liberal/Democrat. Do not be fooled by this mailer. When you look at the fine print, you see the mailer is funded by “Families & Teachers for Antonio Villaraigosa for Governor 2018, sponsored by California Charter Schools Association Advocates.”
Evidently, this pro-Villaraigosa group is attempting to reduce support for John Cox. They must be under the impression John Cox could be a considerable challenger to Gavin Newsome and/or Antonio Villaraigosa. Thusly, they are resorting to this deceptive, quasi-divide and conquer tactic, to split the Republican vote. This kind of ruse is apparently legal in California. Be aware California voters: do your own research on the candidates that interest you and read the fine print.
