A graduate of USC, she worked in politics right out of college, first on the Arnold for Governor campaign (Recall Campaign in 2003), the Governor's Transition staff and then as a political appointee of the Governor up in Sacramento. She switched gears in 2005 to be back in LA where she began working in the entertainment industry in the International Theatrical Distribution Department at Warner Bros.

Felica worked on the John McCain for President campaign and for a number of local candidates such as Sunder Ramani for Assembly. Active in leadership roles in a number of local and statewide Republican organizations, Felicia says  "Politics is my passion and where I feel my true calling is. I'm a proud Republican and I love my country." Felicia has been noted by many political and media leaders as a leading representative of the millennial generation, internet age, young conservative.

Currently, Felicia is the Southern California Grassroots Chair for the Newt Gingrich for President campaign. We'll get her take on the controversial testimony of Georgetown Law Student, Sandra Fluke, as well as the equally controversial remarks made about Ms. Fluke by radio commentator, Rush Limbaugh.

Ask actor Paul Howard's parents, and they will tell you Paul was destined to be a performer. As a child he grabbed his toy guitar and performed Beatles songs for them on a makeshift stage; as a teenager he gained local notoriety for his uncanny ability to emulate Michael Jackson down to the smallest nuances of his performance; and when he ultimately left his Sacramento home to attend the University of California, Irvine as a drama major, his fate was sealed.

With a extensive list of film, television and stage appearances and a modeling career under his belt, Howard is now endeavouring for a walk-on role on the hit AMC series, Mad Men.  The network has teamed up with Banana Republic to sponsor a contest where the entrant who earns the most votes garners a guest spot on the show set in the world of advertising hacks in the oh so hip 1960s. Howard hopes to score enough of your clicks to win.

Join Paul as our guest Saturday night, August 27th along with David and Frank (Michael will be on assignment), at 8pm PDT on latalkradio.com.
