Endorsements: the Other Candidates

OTHER CANDIDATES

Secretary of State - Debra Bowen

Since I'm the only California citizen to read the "Official Voter Information Guide" that Bowen put together, I know she's doing a good job. It's a boring read, but hey... it's politics.

Controller - John Chiang

I don't know much about the incumbent, except this: when the Governator attempted to reduce thousands of state employees' pay to minimum wage, Chiang refused to do it. That shows character (not to mention big balls).

Treasurer - Bill Lockyer

Another incumbent. He also served as Attorney General. We think he has ambitions.

Attorney General - Kamala Harris

Delgadillo already lost once to Jerry Brown. I like Kamala, who has done a solid job as San Francisco's district attorney. She's from Oakland, too, and you know what that means. Street cred.

Insurance Commissioner - Dave Jones

OK seriously, I don't usually dig this deep, so I'm just going to trust the endorsement of a few publications that I read and trust. They say Jones is our guy.

As to the local races, you're on your own. Cheers.

I'm with you. I always vote for a winning combination - character and big balls. Chiang is doing a good job with those outlaws in Bell too.
