While I’ve been keeping track of candidate sign-ups, I left out Lawrence Weekly, who is running for Clark County Commission in District D.
My deepest and sincerest apologies to D districters.
Weekly is the fellow made the Sun for spending over $22,000 from his tax-payer funded office budget on various, um, projects for his constituents. It looks like he’s still doing it, too, since the latest newsletter from his office shows him paying for the prom for some future voters.
He also made the news for taking campaign contributions from notorious Republican enabler and warmonger, Sheldon Adelson. (Sun)
Marilyn Kirkpatrick has picked up an opponent for Assembly District 1: a Sharon Gobel (R), who has switched parties since she unsucessfully ran for the state senate as a Democrat in 2002. (Sun,Sun,Sun). Kirkpatrick beat Gobel’s father Ed Gobel in 2004 when she first ran for the Assembly 1 seat. (Sun,Sun)
Man, I need new glasses: Kirkpatrick’s opponent is Linda West Myers, who has been an activist against airport noise and for rural preservation within cities. (Sun,Sun) Hey, at least she’s worked with Ed Gobel on some of those projects. Myers lost to Kirkpatrick in 2006 (the date currently on her website, by the way). Myers had 35% of the vote to Kirkpatrick’s 57%.
