District 32
You failed to mention (or more likely, I failed to find mention of) Mike Webber who filed for his third attempt at winning my district. While I agree with Webber's past statements about the need for our Assemblyman or woman to come from the suburbs they represent, I have to question whether Webber is the right person for the job.
I would like to see a young talented Republican who can take and hold our district beyond the foreseeable future as we lose Townsen, Raggio, and Marvel. A candidate like Ty Cobb could do very well in our district. However, I don't see Webber doing that - especially if he ever faces a solid Democratic challenger. (Note: the fiasco that was the Republican convention last month didn't help his chances)
I felt like Mike Sprinkle, who ran in 2006, would have easily defeated Webber if the two had faced in the general.
I don't know much about the other candidates for D32 but would like to learn more.
