Who is Tim Donnelly?

Bio – Tim Donnelly

Tim Donnelly, 44, was born in Atlanta, Georgia, the third oldest of 14 children. The day of his birth, he needed three blood transfusions, and had to fight the deadly RH Factor (incompatible blood types), just to stay alive. He has been a determined fighter ever since. When the best public high school in his Michigan town was not getting the job done, at age 15, Tim transferred to a private high school—Southfield Christian—where he worked three different jobs to pay his tuition. In spite of a grueling schedule, he competed in after-school sports—soccer and track—and graduated with honors.

After spending a year at University of Michigan, Tim headed to California. In 1989, he earned his BA from the University of California, Irvine, all the while working several jobs to pay the bills. After college he went to work for his father in the small family business, supplying parts to plastics manufacturers. 5 years later, Tim started his own small company, providing solutions to his customer's manufacturing problems. Having 20 years experience on the front lines in manufacturing, Tim brings a unique understanding of the problems facing one of the most important sectors in our economy.

In 2005, Tim answered the call of his country, and became involved in the fight to secure our borders. As the founder of the largest Minuteman chapter in California, he leveraged the media to bring national spotlight on the Federal government’s failure to enforce the border as required by Article IV, Section IV of the Constitution. The costs of illegal immigration were largely ignored by the politicians and the media alike, just as they are now. Since Tim stepped down from the Minutemen to return to private life in 2006, congress voted down an amnesty, and voted to complete and improve the fence, the size of the border patrol has doubled, the American public is now acutely aware of the drug war raging on our borders (18,000 deaths in past 4 years), and a consensus is building among ordinary Americans in both parties that we must enforce our laws instead of granting amnesty.

Tim is blessed with a wonderful wife, Rowena, five sons, and one grandson. They live in the scenic San Bernardino Mountains, where conservatism is not merely a philosophy; it is a way of life.

Donnelly battles on Fox Business show

Assemblyman Tim Donnelly took his budget-cutting message national today on the Fox Business show "Varney & Co.," telling host Stuart Varney that Gov. Jerry Brown's spending plan perpetuates "cradle-to-grave, nanny state government."

Donnelly is getting mileage out of his video last week, produced by the Assembly GOP, in which he literally shreds part of Brown's budget proposal. As The Bee's Jack Chang reported, Donnelly took some liberties with the facts.

Fox-Biz host Stuart Varney tried in vain today to get lure Donnelly into addressing whether he's willing to hold out on the budget until the state is forced to issue IOUs. Donnelly, a freshman lawmaker, didn't take the bait.

"We can't support people cradle to grave, and that's what we have right now," he said.

Donnelly said the $12 billion in cuts Brown has proposed is "a good start," but clearly not enough. "He's just trimming around the edges," he said. "We really need to dig in and start talking about eliminating entire departments."

Varney suggested Donnelly should realize that Democrats won the elections in California and suggested he should compromise.

"There's a whole other group of voters that voted for me," Donnelly responded. "Some people would say they let the wrong guy in the building. Well, you know what? I'm going to make our voice heard and try to drive the debate to taking a look at the proper role of government."

I am afraid I would have to agree with you on that.....unless there is a very drastic change!

Great ideas and I like the meaning behind it but reality is I think he is hitting a stone wall in California with his proposals. Also hope he doesn't think he will be safe walking anywhere near a latino community in that state.

I met Tim Donnelly on the California border in the fall of 2005,he was the helmsman for the MCDC on our first few musters.Fast forward 5 and 1/2 years and he is now an Assemblyman for the State of California.
He ran as a Minuteman and was elected.My refrain to you,''O ye,of little faith''!
