Press Enterprise looks at 32nd Senate Race

The Press Enterprise took a look at the 32nd Senate race between Democratic Senator Gloria Negrete McLeod and Republican Earl De Vries in today's paper.

One part of the article discussed the political leanings of the district.

"The district is overwhelmingly Democratic, having preferred Barack Obama by 38 points over John McCain two years ago. But it also has a socially conservative streak; Prop. 8, the narrowly approved 2008 measure that banned same-sex marriage, passed with two-thirds of the vote in the 32nd."

32nd Senate Candidate Earl De Vries launches web site

Earl De Vries, Republican candidate in the 32nd State Senate district has a campaign website.

De Vries is challenging Democratic Senator Gloria Negrete McLeod in the November General Election.

Candidate for State Office but no Campaign Web Site

With the primary election over and the General Election less than four months until the election there are two candidates who appear not to have campaign web sites. Campaign sites can be one of the most important tools for a candidate to communicate with voters about what they stand for and believe in.

I have not been able to find sites for Earl De Vries and Gregg Fritchle. De Vries is the Republican nominee in the 32nd State Senate district, challenging Sen. Gloria Negrete McLeod. Fritchle is the Democratic nominee in the 60th Assembly District, challenging Assemblyman Curt Hagman.

If they put up a web site just let us know and we will mention it on our blog.

The List of Possible Political Drop Outs

With three more days of candidate filing left I thought I would look at the list of candidates who may be rethinking their plans.

Below are individuals who took out signature in-lieu (SIL) forms to lower the cost of the filing fee, but have not yet pulled nomination papers. Nomination papers must be filed to place your name on the ballot.

Maybe they are just waiting until the last minute, but this could also be the first indication of a possible drop out.
