The “Un-Trump”? Republican Duf Sundheim Runs for U.S. Senate

Duf Sundheim, Mediator; Chair, California Republican Party, 2003-07
Carson Bruno, Research Fellow, Hoover Institution—Moderator

Amid sharp dissention in the national Republican Party over the prospective presidential nominee comes a decidedly temperate Republican candidate to represent California in the U.S. Senate. Duf Sundheim double-lettered in football at Stanford while obtaining his economics degree, has chaired the state Republican party, advocates for government reform, and talks about applying technological advances to government to unleash a new era of freedom and make government more responsive to citizens.

His supporters include GOP influentials such as former Secretary of State George Shultz, Charles Schwab, and U.S. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy. Does Sundheim have a chance of replacing Barbara Boxer in our majority Democratic state? Will he win crossover votes? And what does he think about the state of the GOP on the national scene?
