ALL POLITICS ARE LOCAL

The race for the 5th District Supervisor has just heated up with the entrance of Ryan Sundberg. Joining the fray are Pat Higgins and Patrick Cleary. Sundberg is my personal pick.

In the race for Sheriff, being vacated by Gary Philp, Mike Downey is running against Mike Hislop. Downey is the current Under-Sheriff.

Probably the most polarizing race is the 4th District Supervisor’s race. Long, long time incumbent Bonnie Neely faces a serious challenge after news leaked out that an out of town developer ontributed money ($10,000.00) for an alleged vote supporting a 30-acre Del Mar development overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Bonnie currently is the Chair of the California Coastal Commission.

Meanwhile, the Humboldt County Central Committee has been recently revived by the elections in New Jersey and, most importantly, Massachusetts. The Country has seen revival, sparked by the energy of the Tea Party Patriots. BY JOY FINLEY
