From 'executive' to 'businessman'

Share: Share on Facebook submit to reddit StumbleUpon Toolbar

Former Assemblyman Tony Strickland, who raised some eyebrows in the spring when he designated himself on the June primary ballot as "alternative energy executive," has refined the title for the fall 19th Senate District campaign.

In the certified list of candidates for the November election, released today by Secretary of State Debra Bowen, Strickland is listed as "renewable energy businessman."

Both designations spring from Strickland's role as an investor in a fledgling wave energy company that has yet to undertake a project or bring in any revenue. The company, GreenWave Energy Solutions, has filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

With all the negative press about excessive executive pay among Fortune 500 companies, it's not too hard to see why a candidate might switch from "executive" to "businessman." But why might voters reflect more favorably on the adjective "renewable" than on "alternative"?

Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

Over the last 25 presidential elections, Ventura County voters have backed the winner 24 times, or over 95 percent of the time. It is one of only a handful of counties in the nation that has been such a predictable bellwether.
