It looks like the race for California Assembly District 51 may well be decided during the September 1 primary election. Out of all candidates, anyone that gets over 50% of the vote is declared the winner. Otherwise a runoff election will take place on November 3 between the top vote-getters from each party.According to a recent news article, one candidate has the endorsement of Inglewood's mayor. And after taking a peek at the websites and track records of each candidate, it looks like this candidate is clearly the front-runner.
But the question remains as to whether any of the candidates are biker-friendly. I've asked ABATE of California for their take on each of them. We always defer to the SMRO when it comes to local politics. Once we hear back from them, we can decide whether any candidates are worth fighting for. Then it's up to local bikers to roll up their sleeves.
And speaking of local bikers, we need more subscribers in California. Though 2009 is an off-year for legislative elections, that doesn't mean nothing's happening. Of course there's the AD-51 race going on right now. And then there was the Senate District 26 that blew by everyone on May 19. With a lot of Legislative Alert subscribers, we can pass the word quickly to as many activists as possible. That's a key part of our winning strategy ... getting campaign volunteers to help good candiates win.Take the first step by clicking on the red "Subscribe" tab at the top of the page. Give us your zip code and we'll let you know when there's a race that's worth your time.
