Well we are one week away from our local elections here in Riverside County. Today we will talk about the local State Senate Race
28th Senate
This race started off in the sewer and has sunk even lower. The 3 main Republicans in the race, Jeff Stone, Bonnie Garcia, and Glenn Miller have all acted atrociously. Juvenile behavior and crazy antics. The latest bombshell in this race is the release of a road rage incident involving Jeff Stone back in December. .http://www.pe.com/sections/news/politics/.
Jeff Stone according to the above article pulls out an honorary badge and flashes it at another driver. This happens in December. No action is taken against Stone and the real cops, the Riverside Sheriff's Association endorses him in February. Wow. So the group that is so exercised over campaign signs being torn down has no problem with a fake badge?
Meanwhile Bonnie Garcia has not seemed to catch traction with the voters. Press stunts and an outside committee that has spent several hundred thousand dollars on her campaign seem to have little traction.
Then you have Glenn Miller who through the work of longtime Democrat Greg Pettis has received the endorsement of Equality California which in this valley is primarily Stone Wall Democrats. Mr. Miller who hopes his Coachella Valley base will help him in the primary, has been widely attacked in GOP circles for accepting this endorsement. Also many local Democrats are mad at Mr. Pettis for going off the reservation.
Even though he is given little if no chance, Democrat Phil Drucker is probably thrilled probably thrilled to be below the radar in this mess.
