August 2005 Archives
I have a mental list of candidates for upcoming elections. Some are confirmed and some are just theories.
US President
Evan Bayh
Hillary
Clark
Edit: Richardson ( smart guy )
McCain
Frist
Romney
US House (if Elton Gallegly retires)
Brett Wagner
(and one other undisclosed Democrat)
Tony Strickland ( Edit: Running for controller)
Glen Becerra
A CEO from Thousand Oaks ( sorry, the name escapes me)
Elton Gallegly will retire in 2006 0r 2008 is my guess. If so, throw another person in. Someone from Simi Valley/Moorpark with strong law enforcement credentials. Simi loves our police forces. But, everytime I have met Elton he has seemed energetic, so maybe the rumors are all wrong.
State Assembly
Ferial Masry
Audra Strickland
State Senate
Chris Robson
Tony Strickland ( update, he is running for state controller)
County Supervisor
Judy Mikels
and.....The Acorn reported that the one candidate mentioned has already bowed out.
Simi Valley City Council
Scott Blough
Glen Becerra (I)
Michelle Foster(I)
Scott Blough is playing his cards right, but how long can he wait? Simi Valley doesn't have many elections. Will Scott wait until someone steps down and attempt to get an appointment? Or will he run as soon as there is an open seat?
School Board
Tim Keaney
Carla Kurachi (I)
Ed Abele
Arleigh Kidd
Greg Stratton (I)
Arleigh insists Timi is running. I think Tim is keeping his options open. I would be surprised if he didn't run.
Guys before you jump all over me, I don't look at political ambition as negative. If your goal is to serve our community, I see nothing wrong with that. If you are looking for issues, then that means you are looking for substance. If you are looking to get elected, it means you want a strong campaign. And great campaigns can bring about great ideas. Like Al Gore and the social security "lock box" or Ronald Reagan and tax cutting vs. paying down the debt.
Besides, wouldn't an Arleigh vs. Tim campaign be pure fireworks? It might be the only campaign this town has seen that needs a referee!
