Sacramento, Calif. (AP) --
Just a few years ago, as head of California's largest Minuteman group, Tim Donnelly worked to fend off outsiders seeking to cross the state's borders.

On Friday, the Secretary of State's office is expected to certify his 631-vote margin of victory for the Republican primary in the 59th Assembly District, which is split evenly between Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties.
Final reports from registrars in both counties say he has won the primary.

I like Donnelly, but his fat kid brother Mike needs to stop campaigning for him. He is a PR embarrassment.
