For those in the Fifth District, you have probably recently received several mailers from an independent expenditure campaign that in the last couple weeks has gathered over $163,000 from big wine,...

Here's an interesting piece from today's PD on two major Hopkins supporters:

Barry has stated several times, along with others, that the mudslinging started with Noreen or her supporters attacking Lynda first. Could someone supply the context for this, please? It seems to me...

<br><br>

Ridiculous. No lines changed. Lynda moved from her farm in the fourth district into her house in the fifth district about a year ago.

Here is the latest list of contributions to the PAC Eric Koenigshofer is running to slander Noreen:

Yeah yeah, my husband loves me too,
Sorry doesn't count- love is blind!
Really! If the day comes you criticize your WIFE, we'll offer you our couch to sleep on :)

And they will be happy NOT to have to deal with or against Noreen Evans on environmental issues on which she has a proven track record. They are gambling that Lynda will not be as tough.

And one last thought for this morning, do you all know any professional adult who mentions their dang ten year old degrees this much? Me neither.

Wow, these people born on third base really do believe they've hit a triple.

Well I'm not sure..I guess sleezy Eric is busy once again..I guess a counter-add on Lynda Hopkins could read something like "would you hire someone who Never HAD a job!

More deception and lies. See jane Nielsons explanation below via a former employee of the Conservancy. But the short answer is that she was a legislative advisor to the coastal conservancy (not...

Actually the total contributions to Eric's PAC is now at $160,000! Including the $35,000 from John Dyson who lives in New York.

Stay tuned for a lot more trash and lies.

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

The assault on Noreen is basically to lie, and then keep it up. I think the 5th Dist folks will see past all the BS.

This is not just internet advertising by Eric Koenigshofer for Hopkins. It is repeated full page ads in the peedee, lots of glossy mailers, a web site and tons of internet ads. Really disgusting. ...

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...

Here is a great open letter to Eric Koenigshofer - the one who is running the hate campaign against Noreen - posted in a different thread on Wacco.

I agree that Lynda Hopkins currently lacks the temperament that is needed for a Supervisor, the County's highest elected office. I do hope that she can develop a less shrill response to criticism as...
