DU Endorsements:

[The Backlash Cometh]

Is there anyone on Du who is knowledgeable of all the races in the state and can post a webpage of recommendations, county by county? It wouldn't actually be a DU endorsement, but a member's exchange.

1. Orange County

Here are my picks. Of course, for federal and state races, it should just be "the Democrat in the race"

COUNTY COMMISSION, DISTRICT 3:
Lui Daminai -- he doesn't have a party affiliation, but he is running against a republican woman who is a complete airhead and he used to work for the Democratic commissioner who is term limited out

COUNTY COMMISSION, DISTRICT 5:
Bill Segal (D)

CLERK OF THE COURTS:
Mary Johnson (D)

PUBLIC DEFENDER:
Robert Wesley (D)

SHERIFF:
Rick Staly (D)

TAX COLLECTOR:
Earl K. Wood (D)

SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS:
Bill Cowles (D)

SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT SUPERVISOR, GROUP 1:
FRANK ANTHONY CONSOLI (D)

SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT SUPERVISOR, GROUP 2:
MIGUEL A. DIAZ (D)

SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT SUPERVISOR, GROUP 3:
SALLY L. BAPTISTE (no party affiliation, but the others in the race are republicans)

SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT SUPERVISOR, GROUP 4:

2. Thanks.

You know, I don't know who it benefits to keep party affiliation off the ballot. You'd think that in my county you'd want to keep it on because Republicans would have the upper hand.
