Catharine Baker in AD16 has the best shot
among East Bay Assembly Republicans
in November.
|
ASSEMBLY | Who says the state’s jungle primary muscles out other political parties in November? Four of the five East Bay Assembly contests this fall will feature Democrats versus upstart Republicans.
Oakland Assembymember Rob Bonta, a Democrat, will face a rematch against San Leandro electrician David Erlich, a Republican. Bonta won the two-candidate primary Tuesday night with 84.9 percent of the heavily-Democratic district. Percentage-wise, Bonta’s total was the highest of any race in the East Bay Tuesday night, besting only the 81 percent won by Oakland Rep. Barbara Lee in her 13th Congressional District primary.
Southern Alameda County Assemblymember Bill Quirk easily won the three-person race in the 20th Assembly District. Quirk, seeking re-election for the first time, took over 65 percent of the vote. He will meet Jaime Patino, a Republican from Union City, in November. Patino earned 23 percent in his first political campaign, while Hayward school board member Luis Reynoso came in a distant third with 11 percent. Reynoso also lost the June primary to Quirk in 2012.

Assemblymember Rob Bonta: Percentage-wise,
no other candidate in the East Bay topped his
84 percent of the AD18 primary vote.
|
San Jose Councilmember Kansen Chu, a Democrat, won the June primary in the 25th Assembly District seat representing the Alameda County Tri Cities and a large portion of Santa Clara County. Chu’s 29 percent topped Republican Bob Brunton, who finished second with 23 percent. The two will meet in November. Brunton’s impressive showing outshined third-place finisher Teresa Cox and Milpitas Councilmember Armando Gomez. Former Fremont police chief Craig Steckler finshed last.
Although Republicans in each of these races will likely face difficulty in defeating their Democratic opponents, the November matchup in the 16th Assembly District represents its greatest opportunity for victory. While moderate Democrats were squabbling and independent expenditure committees were making the primary the most expensive Assembly race in the entire state, Republican Catharine Baker posted an impressive first place finish with 36 percent of the moderate Contra Costa County seat that also stretches to the Oakland Hills.
Baker, who like primary opponent, Steve Glazer, opposes union public transportation strikes, will meet the labor-backed Dublin Mayor Tim Sbranti, who won 29 percent of the vote. Glazer followed with a disappointing 22 percent and Danville Mayor Newell Arnerich with 12 percent.
The Berkeley 15th Assembly District is the only East Bay race for the lower house of the Legislature that will feature an intramural Democratic matchup in the fall. As expected, Elizabeth Echols won the primary with 31 percent and will face Tony Thurmond, who finished second with 23 percent. Civil Rights attorney Pamela price was third with 17 percent, followed by Sam Kang in the eight-person race.

How many times do you have to get caught telling lies Baker Troll? I guess that's what Tea Party extremists do!
Let's see, Baker appeared at Tea Party rallies and appeared with a Tea Party activist who tried to carry a loaded gun on an airplane. SOME MODERATE!
All the major environmental groups are recommending their members vote for Tim Sbranti. These include the Sierra Club and the League of Conservation Voters.
Joan Buchanan is a moderate, only supports moderates, and is supporting Tim Sbranti. Tim will be our next Assemblyman and it won't be close.

Because the union whores dumped shitloads of toxic $$$$ into the election and destroyed clean Steve Glazer's reputation with complete lies and falsehoods, we now have to put our energies into getting CATHARINE BAKER elected to the assembly. She is a clean, moderate woman who is pro-environment and pro-choice. She's a consumer advocate as well.
Mrs. Miller and I will be supporting our outstanding next Assemblywoman CATHARINE BAKER. We can't support dirty stooge union bosses who have no idea what they are doing and would be in above their head, Branti. We also would never support anyone who whores for the unions.
We'll be supporting a breath of fresh air, ASSEMBLYWOMAN CATHARINE BAKER 2014!

That guy Branti is an ultra-radical, Berkeley leftist, union whore, thug boss. The public already knows this and will be reminded of it by the ASSEMBLYWOMAN CATHARINE BAKER 2014 campaign. Taxpayers simply can't trust him with our taxpayer $$$. If he ever got in, he would bankrupt both Contra Costa and Alameda counties and the State of California. Way too radical for us.
That's why there is a fresh, new choice in CATHARINE BAKER 2014. She is a moderate, who will protect our hard-earned tax-dollars and do right by the district. Please join moderate Republicans, Glazer and Arnerich Democrats and independents who know that Catharine is our ONLY choice this November. A pro-choice, environmentalist, consumer advocate and compassionate voice of reason.
She took first place in the June primary for a simple reason. Hers is a moderate voice which won't be silenced!

While votes are still being tallied, it’s important to note that in contests where the Dem. State Party’s delegates endorsed a candidate, those candidates performed exceedingly well. In fact, 96% of candidates endorsed by the California Democratic Party moved past the primary election and will be on the ballot in November – that’s an extraordinary success rate.
Our candidates' success speaks to the importance of the Democratic Party’s endorsement in the era of the “Top Two” Primary.
Below is a tally on the performance of endorsed candidates in the 2014 primary election:
Statewide candidates
Endorsed: 9 | Moving on: 9
Congressional candidates
Endorsed: 50 | Moving on: 49
State Senate candidates

Teacher Tim Sbranti won the Assemble race (AD 16), defeating Steve Glazer, the $3 million poster child for Corporate Democrats.
All eight of Labor’s statewide candidates are advancing to the General Election.
We passed Proposition 41, which will help our nation’s heroic veterans to access quality and affordable housing.
This early summer political battle was hot, sweaty and exhausting. But like any good fight, knocking these corporate bums out early made the payoff all the more worth it. Let’s rest up and get ready to do it again in November.
