San Mateo County Election Roundup: Upsetting the Apple Cart

another great article by Peninsula pundit Bruce Balshone:

San Mateo County Election Roundup 2009

more than a few surprises, the most significant being Michael BrownRigg's victory for the Burlingame City Council without the endorsements of the San Mateo County Labor Council nor the San Mateo County Democratic Central Committee.  Also former police lieutenant Robert Ross managed a 2nd place finish in the San Mateo City Council race with only the police and firefighter unions as major endorsements.

Says Brother Bruce:

"But more significant is the fact that Ross was not the preferred candidate of the San Mateo political class and is again another example of the county’s political applecart being upset."



Let's hope for a changing of the guard in Pacifica for 2010.
