Harris or Sanchez?

[Auggie]

25. FYI: Thompson is a Blue Dog, and Dodd is a well-connected former Republican

They're both my reps too, and while Thompson got my primary vote for lack of any alternative, I voted for Mariko Yamada over Dodd. Yamada is a true dem and progressive and not part of the local oligarchy (yet). I didn't vote for Aguiar-Curry in the primary but I'll have to in the general election. It's either her or Schaupp, the Republican (yuck). That Assembly race bewteen Wolk and Aguiar-Curry got real ugly with all the special interest money pouring in:

This year’s Assembly race, particularly the last month and a half, was marked by the extraordinary influx of special-interest money funding Aguiar-Curry’s campaign.

Independent expenditures on her behalf totaled $2.5 million, second in the state only to those spent on Dodd’s Senate campaign.

Special-interest groups, primarily charter-school proponents, oil companies and Realtors, poured money into Aguiar-Curry’s campaign at a rate never seen before in a local Assembly race. Schaupp noted Tuesday evening that the amount of money spent for each vote he received this year was about 75 cents. For Aguiar-Curry, he said, “$160 per vote.”

Most of that money was not spent by Aguiar-Curry herself; rather, it was spent by independent expenditure committees over which candidates have no control. That money paid for mailers, phone calls, radio and television ads, social media promotions and more, all of which made Aguiar-Curry a household name in a way none of her opponents could match.
