GOP Backs McClintock & Dee Snider Says He’s ‘Not Dying’
Podcast:Philip Teresi Published On: Wed Feb 18 2026 Description: The California Republican Party Board of Directors officially endorsed Rep. Tom McClintock for re-election to the state’s newly-redrawn 5th Congressional District. The announcement comes as McClintock increasingly appears to be facing a primary challenge from his neighboring Republican colleague, Rep. Kevin Kiley. Dee Snider took a moment during his recent radio broadcast to explain that he’s “not dying” following news that he left Twisted Sister due to health issues. Twisted Sister had announced Snider’s “sudden and unexpected resignation” on Feb. 5, via a statement issued by bandmates Jay Jay French and Eddie Odeja.
