A Key Race - CA SD-19, Hannah-Beth Jackson

(You should meet Hannah-Beth. She's pretty cool. - promoted by Brian Leubitz)

In California Hannah-Beth Jackson is running for the State Senate.  This is a key race because this is the Senate seat that could flip from Republican to Democrat, finally giving the Dems a 2/3 majority and enabling them to finally pass budgets. Her website is: Meet Hannah-Beth
davej :: A Key Race - CA SD-19, Hannah-Beth Jackson
Hannah-Beth is a former member of the California State Assembly who founded Speak Out California, where I post once or twice a week, and the Institute for the Renewal of the California Dream (which does not yet have a website) where I am a Senior Fellow.  This should tell you that she is a solid progressive, concerned with advancing democracy, community, and the mutual prosperity of all Californians instead of the benefits of our work and investment being funneled to the corporations and wealthy.  So she has my endorsement and I hope she can earn yours.

Best of luck (8.00 / 1)
to Hannah-Beth!

Progress, not perfection!


Very good race (8.00 / 1)
Tony Strickland is a "movement" conservative who all Christian wingers just love.  In 1998 and 2000 he won close elections running against Roz McGrath.  McGrath was pretty good, but Hannah-Beth is much better.

The District in 1998 and 2000 had 41% Republican voters and Strickland won 48% and 51% respectively.  Now he is facing a tougher candidate in a Democratic year in a 39% district.  This all adds up to a hard-fought race, but one that looks very good for us.

Strickland is a tough, experienced campaigner.  Hannah-Beth will have to work hard, start early and be ready for a nasty, dirty campaign.

Good luck to her.
