Kashkari campaign DOA

A show of disunity at California GOP convention

Kashkari also urged the party to reach beyond conservatives. His campaign displayed rainbow-flag signs outside the banquet room and co-hosted a reception with gay and Latino Republicans.

But party leaders omitted Kashkari from a flier promoting the convention. It featured photos of Swearengin, Paul and U.S. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield). McCarthy was the headline speaker Saturday night; Kashkari was relegated to lower-profile proceedings Sunday morning.
