Ledford Pounded By California Republican Assembly IE in 36th AD
Posted by: Mike Spence | 05/12/2008 12:05 PM
Jim Ledford is the Mayor of Palmdale. He is a registered Republican. Ledford also likes the car tax and catering to union bosses.
Ledford also like running for the 36th Assembly District. In 2006 he took on incumbent Sharon Runner. In full diclosure, I'm currently President of the California Republican Assembly. The CRA IE PAC has produced an independent expenditure to highlight Jim Ledford's support of the car tax and his cendure by the local GOP.
Chris Jones gets credit for the consulting work on this.
I scheduled this piece to post on the day it was suppossed to hit. Hope I'm not early.
Either way, Bye Bye Jim.

Great work Mike. Not that you need to make my issues with Ledford your own, but you could have also mentioned Ledford's voting for and defending a phony "Electrical Safety Policy" that was eventually overturned in a 3-2 vote led by his opponent in this race, Steve Knight. This so-called safety policy said that 70% of all of the electricians on Palmdale City construction projects must be graduates of the union-dominated State Approved Apprenticeship Program. This despite the fact that many electricians learned their trade in the military, in college electrical training programs or had it handed down to them father to son. Even after more than 5 hours of council debate and the revelation that this misleading law hurt small business owners in Palmdale, Ledford defended it to the bitter end.
Come to think about it, this issue is too complicated and way too "inside baseball" for a mass mailer, but something good for readers of this blog to know about James C. Ledford Jr.
