Win or lose it was a great experience

Submitted by Martin Anding on November 2, 2010

Last election the democrat won 65% to 35%. Anything better that is a plus for me and personal freedom and choice. Polls in CA won't close for a few hours so I can't say how my candidacy changed things. We have to wait and see. But if you supported me then many thanks.

Endorsements

Submitted by Ellie Black on October 17, 2010

I am very proud of the endorsements I have received thus far. I have not spent much time asking for them, but the few that I have mean a lot to me because they reflect the support I have from across party lines and from all walks of life.  It is an indication to me that I am doing the right thing.

I'm out gunned in this Campaign

Submitted by Anonymous on August 28, 2010

Well I mean money not guns. I just checked the public campaign finances info on line. "MONNING 2010, FRIENDS OF BILL" collected $170,120.00 in the first half of this year. I guess that explains why there are Monning signs all over the district.

Lots of Unions and companies in the detailed lists. You can read those details here

Paul Gaylon's Endorsement

Submitted by Ellie Black on August 15, 2010

Linda Black, whom I’ve known from the Herb Room for more than a decade, has always been a proactive person. In her campaign, win, lose, or draw she is raising very important issues that are near and dear to my heart. Organic food; farmers markets; the importance of industrial hemp; watershed conservation; keeping  the public water, air and soil clean by fighting to stop water fluoridation and chemical (toxic) spraying upon the public, as well as  protecting the commons (the land we all use).
