UPDATE: Click on continue reading to see County Supervisor Kathy Long's response. Thank you Kathy Long!

Welcome to a new feature on my blog where I post questions for political figures in Ventura County and then post their responses. If you have suggested questions email them to me. Until Kathy Long answers all other comments will be deleted to stop this entry from going off topic.

Here is my 1st question:

Ventura County Supervisor Kathy Long,

How did you first get involved in California politics? Who did you work for and how did you get the job?

You can post your response here or send it to me.

Thanks,

Brian Dennert

( Denis O'Leary's latest campaign ad)

What is going on in the campaigns for seats on the Board of Supervisors?

Which of the following candidates have you seen campaigning in any format?

What have you seen or heard from John Flynn, Denis O'Leary, or John Zaragoza in the 5th district campaign?

What about the campaign between Kathy Long and Socorro Lopez Hanson in district 3?

So far I think the incumbents are safe as far as I have heard. Do you have any reason to think otherwise?

( Thanks to Brian Mack for another great photoshop. If you want him to 'shop a local figure e-mail me with suggestions. In the meantime check out the website for his new play he wrote.
