I've been increasingly impressed by Representative Sara Jacobs from San Diego and would support her candidacy when Sen. Padilla is up for reelection. I'd be interested in your take on her, Gary.
SaraтАЩs positions line up pretty well with most of the friendly people who post here on TCтАЩs page. She also has been critical of IsraelтАЩs incursion in Gaza notwithstanding her Jewish heritage. She is the granddaughter of Joan and Irwin Jacobs of Qualcomm fame (with whom IтАЩve worked on philanthropic endeavorsтАФJoan passed a couple weeks ago), and so her campaigns had been funded by her grandparents to date. Her grandparents have been good people and not self-important rich types but I canтАЩt be counted as a disinterested observer. Her early campaigns were marred by missteps which I attribute to the consultants she was using; I hope, but do not know for certain, that she has dumped them. The one area where I do not know SaraтАЩs positions well (or that of other members of her family), is in the area of labor relations. DonтАЩt know if sheтАЩs pro-union, which is an issue important to me but not commonly appreciated among the well to do. However, based on what I know to date she would be an improvement over Padilla. I will caution that the Democratic Party here in California is becoming a bit musty and self-satisfied and so the party will circle the wagons around Padilla. Sara may not attempt to unseat an incumbent.
Padilla is, and had been throughout his public career, useless
