🎙️ This Week on So, Does It Matter?
This week’s guest is Will O’Neill, chairman of the Republican Party of Orange County and one of California’s most dynamic young political leaders. In this wide-ranging half-hour conversation, Will and host Jon Fleischman dig into the cynical ploy of Prop. 50, and local Orange County GOP efforts to defeat it. Also they go into what it takes to lead a local party in a shifting political landscape, how civic engagement drives long-term success, and the values that continue to shape California conservatism today.
From campaign strategy to the importance of civic engagement, Will shares thoughtful insights about where the party is headed—and why local politics still matter.
