This just came over the transom from the Diane Harkey for Assembly campaign:
MAYOR DIANE HARKEY ENDORSED BY ORANGE COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY TONY RACKAUCKAS FOR THE 73RD ASSEMBLY DISTRICT
Orange County (CA)--- Dana Point Mayor Diane Harkey announced today that she has been endorsed by Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas for the 73rd California State Assembly District Republican Primary election in June of 2008.
“I am endorsing Diane Harkey because she will champion the rights for victims of crime,” said Rackauckas. “As a member of the State Assembly, Diane will work to provide prosecutors with the tools to put convicted criminals behind bars.”
“It is truly an honor to be endorsed by Tony Rackauckas, one of the top District Attorneys in California,” said Harkey. “I will fight to protect against any tampering with our ‘3 strikes’ law and be an advocate for victims of crime, especially our children.”
Mayor Harkey is also endorsed by Assemblywoman Mimi Walters, who serves as her Honorary Campaign Chairman, and the entire Orange County Republican Assembly delegation. As well as, Orange County Supervisors Pat Bates, Chris Norby, Bill Campbell and Orange County Treasurer Chriss Street.
The 73rd Assembly District includes the cities of Laguna Niguel, Dana Point, Laguna Hills, San Juan Capistrano, San Clemente, Oceanside and Camp Pendleton.
no comments because no one cares about diane harkey.
I beg to differ "don't care".
I suspect few people care about this race because the election is a year away and Harkey already seems to have sewn up the contest AND Rackauckas's endorsement is a no brainer (Harkey is the only credible candidate so far in the race and she deserves to win).
A lot of people care about Diane Harkey.
"(Harkey is the only credible candidate so far in the race and she deserves to win)."
What exactly has she done to "deserve" to win? Her biggest accomplishment todate is her ability to spend money.
Why doesn't Jim Lacy use his own name instead of lame pseudonyms?
It's not like he's fooling anyone.
Harkey will be a deer in the lights in Sacramento!
But you can't overlook her abililty to spend her way into an office. She's proven to not be a good local councilmember, and not very fiscally conservative when it comes to spending her own money. So tell us again why she will be successful as an Assemblymember?
Maybe Jim Lacy should run for this seat too... Come on Jim...Fire up your machine and call in some of you're Republican favors. What are you waiting for?
This is not the first time I've raised the question about her qualification. Except for her "being a good campaigner", no one has even come close to answering.
A lot of people in town bought her song and dance, and now feel burned. Jim Lacy tried to work with her, and he went up in flames. At least sending her to Sacramento would get her out of DP. Too bad the rest of the County would have to suffer before finding out what she is really like.
Does anyone hear Rocky Chavez's name come up? He has been out fundraising and schmoozing developers looking for support for what???
