… And Now we Have Some Races
Believe it.
Linda M Park has made over 20 public appearances in her three-week-old campaign.
Placer County and ElDoardo County are getting acquainted with Les Baugh from Shasta County.
Endorsements are coming. Checks are being written, we have some races on our hands – this is going to be a great season in Placer County Politics.
This has all been made possible by the lack of leadership by the Gains. Even the simplest of gestures and involvement could have stopped their train wreck.
The anger in the district is palpable over the double dipping of the gains dynasty.
Instead of leadership we have a family dynasty built on betrayal of stakeholders in the respective districts with the backdrop of a rented house in Rocklin.
In italics is a short summary I wrote for a local media inquiry on behalf of Les Baugh. I think it sums it up in both cases. Don’t think for a second that Les wouldn’t have said something similar – he would, and therein lies another major difference voters get to choose from.
Interestingly – I have been getting anxious inquiry from political insiders as to why Linda is running against Beth Gaines and why I took Les Baugh on as a client.
Neither Les Baugh or Linda Park owe anyone an apology for running – Ted and Beth Gaines owe people an apology for the way they have governed.
And to think – the Gaines are renting a house in Rocklin, probably for just long enough to retain power if they are successful in getting re-elected. How does that make you feel as a voter? What kind of message does that send?
It’s not a matter of who is more conservative which is the easy-way-out cheapshot in a lot of Republican Primaries – as Les is a Pastor and Linda is a long-time CRA member.
Beth Gaines won’t be able to use a boogie man attack like she did against John Allard against Linda – where she lied about John Allard (standard faire in political attacks) and used his experience against him. (Linda, while in her first term on school board – ironically has been in office longer than Beth!)
The Gaines are going to have to stand up and defend the way they have governed and are also going to have to explain why a husband-and-wife political dynasty is a good thing for California. This is a double-loser for them.
Enter Jerry Brown.
Yawn. Time to pay more taxes, cuz it’s for the children.
California has 13% of America’s Population and 33% of the Welfare Cases. What’s the solution – CUT EDUCATION, CLOSE DOWN PARKS and RELEASE FELONS EARLY. Heaven forbid we cut welfare…
… but I digress.
Enter my Assemblymember, Beth Gaines. Beth was annointed by the Family Dynasty to reign over the serfs of the old AD-04 and now the serfs of AD-06. Her reign has not been filled with much until recently (hey, it’s time to get re-elected, you know???)
Jerry Brown wants to rheem us for another $5Billion!
Enter Beth Gaines : Republican lawmakers were roundly critical. “I was really looking forward to hearing some fresh ideas, some innovative ideas and some real leadership,” said Assemblywoman Beth Gaines, zero-Roseville. “Unfortunately, I didn’t hear that. … Raising taxes is not going to help our economy.”
oooooooh, I just got goosebumps all over…
The voters of AD-06 have been looking for anything, a return phone call, a complete sentence, anything…
The problem for Beth Gaines is that Jerry Brown’s speech was leadership – in the wrong direction, but it is in a direction… out of the broom closet and off a cliff. The Problem for Beth Gaines is that Dale Carnegie courses and John Maxwell books require personal application in order to take effect and a re-election campaign is an impossible venue for such an epiphany.
Please, someone file in AD-06. As we deserve Representation, not Coronation.
