There will be three competitive Republican legislative primary battles next year: AD 71, AD 60 and SD33. These are three heavily Republican seats in which winning the GOP primary is tantamount to a general election victory. Red County/OC Blog already described the AD71 contest with by-the-numbers post of the basics of the campaign: candidates and their teams, registration and geographic distribution of GOP voters, etc. Now let's take a look at the 60th Assembly District.
The 60th Assembly District is currently represented by Bob Huff, who is eligible for one more term but is running for the 29th Senate District seat being vacated by termed-out GOP Senator Bob Margett. AD 60 straddles Orange, San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties and includes all or portions of Chino Hills, Diamond Bar, Anaheim, La Mirada, Orange, La Habra, Yorba Linda, Walnut, Whittier, Villa Park, La Habra Heights, San Dimas, and the fabulous City of Industry.
