GOP Sheriff Chad Bianco's wife starts nonprofit after dire night for Republicans

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco’s wife is launching a new 501(c)(4) nonprofit to energize statewide conservatives as California Republicans cast blame and jockey for leadership in the wake of a national and statewide blue wave election. Denise Bianco, who has never held office but who helped fundraise through merchandise sales during her husband’s gubernatorial campaign, will serve as president of the California Action Network. “Legally speaking,” the sheriff will have no role in the new organization, according to the group’s chief operating officer, Jack Belgrade. Still, the sheriff is set to appear at an upcoming event focused on the nonprofit. It will aim to build on the enthusiasm of grassroots supporters who backed Bianco during his fourth-place finish in the June primary, according to the group’s vice president, Joy Miedecke. “The name ‘Bianco’ is very important in this because people have faith in him,” she said in an interview. Belgrade said the group will use some strategies popularized by progressives — including third-party ballot collection and a strategy called relational organizing — to mobilize California conservatives. That includes a new app set to launch in January in which conservative voters can nudge people in their contact lists to vote through
