President of the
United States of America
Bernie Sanders
Although I will not hesitate to back Hillary Clinton against
Donald Trump and am concerned a lot of people will. Bernie Sanders having as
many delegates as possible to attend the DNC is still important even though he
can’t win because he can liberalize the party platform.

US Representative

Kathryn Nance
This may seem odd because I am so liberal. I am not breaking
party lines on this. I would however like to see a different race then we have
seen before. Amador ran a couple years ago and even though Democrats were not
showing up to the polls he lost. Amador is a relic from the past and I almost
forgot N. Allen Sawyer started recently posting on Stockton Safe Streets his endorsement
of Amador and thus is suspect.
State Senator
District 5
Too early to tell and doesn’t matter.
Cathleen Galgiani has made some odd choices in her tenure
and is supposedly good friends with N. Allen Sawyer and Mayor Silva, making her
suspect. In 2012 The Stockton Record endorsed almost entirely Democrats to
represent us but endorsed Galgiani’s opponent Bill Berryhill instead. The
reason cited for the endorsement at the time was Galgiani being the California
High Speed Rail Candidate, which has been a disaster.
Galgiani also did some odds things such as endorsing
Republican Paul Canepa in his race against Kathy Miller (from what I understand
based on a friendship) and endorsing GOP political consultant Don Parson’s candidate
Russ Munson. Both of whom lost.
Alan Nakanishi’s dignity is without question on a high
caliber. As a child Nakanishi was forced into a Japanese internment camp during
WWII and later served as a doctor during the Vietnam War. If Nakanishi takes
firm conservative view points during the campaign I would be forced to side
with my liberal ideology and vote for Galgiani but it’s too early to tell and
they will surely be in a race that lasts until November.
State Assembly Member
District 13
Susan Talamantes Eggman
In the course of Eggman’s tenure as our representative in
the Lower House of the California State Legislature she has been extremely effective
and a person to be proud of. She is
smart, hardworking and set for higher things.
