Opening Round of Tom Daly for Supervisor?

You know, it's never too early to start running for office. Or at least it's never too start blogging about who is running for office.

A reader sent me this e-mail that went out yesterday from the Democratic Party of Orange County:

Tom Daly is one of our greatest champions county-wide!

As the former mayor of Anaheim, Tom spearheaded the revitalization of downtown Anaheim, built parks, gymnasiums and community centers while lowering crime rates.

Currently, as our County Clerk-Recorder, Tom is a leader in protecting consumers from fraud and identity theft. His efforts and sponsorship led to the recent passage of a consumer protection law in California.
Please join fellow Democrats is supporting a man who is truly a servant of the people!

4th SD Mailbox: Chris Norby Sends Out His First Re-Election Mailer -- With A Dick Ackerman Endorsement!

Chris Norby sent out the first mailer of his first supervisorial re-election campaign -- you can see it here and here.

Now this is a good mail piece. It's simple and direct and quickly communicates Norby's stance on issues voters care about. A voter can read and digest the information in about a minute, and come away knowing Norby is an advocate for taxpayers, public safety and fulfilling government's basic functions like streets and roads.

But the most noteworthy aspect of this mailer: a big sloppy endorsement from Sen. Dick Ackerman! Norby and Ackerman have been mortal foes for years. They must have smoked a seriously potent peace pipe.
