| CA Republican Candidate for Governor, Glen Champ |
Mar. 23, 2014, Little Green Footballs
Meet one of your new California Republican Party
candidates for Governor. Please note this is one of the finalists, who was
officially introduced to the party at a GOP function as a candidate.
Glenn Champ, 48, addressed hundreds of GOP
delegates and supporters Sunday at the site of the state party’s semi-annual
convention. Introduced by party chairman Jim Brulte and allotted 10 minutes,
Champ spoke in between the main GOP candidates, former U.S. Treasury official
Neel Kashkari and state Assemblyman Tim Donnelly of San Bernardino County.
Champ, a little-known political neophyte from the
Fresno County community of Tollhouse, did not directly mention his criminal
past during his speech but said, “In my life, I’ve been held accountable
because of my stupidity. I do not want anyone else to be enslaved because of
their lack of knowledge.”
Champ’s rap sheet is lengthy. Court records show
that in 1992, he pleaded guilty to carrying a concealed firearm. In 1993, he
was convicted of two counts of assault with intent to commit rape and as a
result was placed on the state’s sex-offender registry.
In March 1998, he accepted a plea deal on a charge
of loitering to solicit a prostitute; later that year, he pleaded no contest to
a voluntary manslaughter charge after hitting a man with his vehicle, for which
he was sentenced to 12 years in state prison, according to court records.
