OpEd: Election Day - Sonoma County by Lynda Hopkins



Thank...

The first of many untruths here is that the SEIU independent expenditure was an 82k hit piece on Lynda Hopkins. I know because I was on that IE that It was used to pay for 4 PRO NOREEN EVANS MAILERS....

Thanks for sharing this. It's a breath of fresh air to read, especially after that last piece in the PD.

In that earlier piece, one candidate suggested that if she wasn't elected, young people...

Lots of good reasons to vote FOR Noreen, but even if there weren't, the quantity and venal quality of Linda's mailers would turn me away. I know she is a good human being who is a good farmer, but...

Muchisimas Gracias!:wink:

Nobody disagrees about building granny units - it is not either or. We need a combination of solutions. That is what Noreen advocates.

Thank you, Patrick. I stand corrected. Erik's ignoble PAC appears to be the largest single player followed by the SEIU. :waccosun:

Thanks for the definition.

Patrick,

It is interesting that most of this discussion is about money and who is providing the somewhat obscene amounts of it for a 'non-partisan' seat as a county supervisor. As someone once...

Challenge accepted. Erik Koenigshofer's PAC has reportedly raised $105,000, and so far spent $85,000 on Lynda Hopkins' behalf. You can see the details on Noreen Evans' Facebook page. And...
