Also see my state/national endorsements. This covers Grass Valley, CA-area races only. Well, the ones I'm voting in. ]B=8)

I worked with Yolanda Cookson on the founding of the local Rotaract club; she was its first President at a time when I was still active in the club. I can pretty much say that I know her, and I can say that I've seen her in a political context

Thanks! I appreciate the additional perspective, and hope my other Grass Valley readers (all two of them, plus Aaron Klein ;-)) benefit from your recommendation. I'm honestly not sure how it slipped my mind to ask if you had opinions on any of the candidates -- I'll have to fix that mistake next time.

No worries -- realistically, those were the only candidates that I had any direct information on.

There's an NCTV interview with Dan Miller and Terry Lamphier up on Google Video.

Hi Baxil,

I've read your blog here and there over the last few years, and my Google Alert pinged today, so I saw this post.

Would love to get a cup of coffee with you at some point in the future -- you sound like one of those liberals who I'd probably disagree with on a lot of issues, but who can think for themselves and draw their own conclusions.

That being said, I wanted to tell you what a chuckle I got out of "Republican rising star" and "heavily funded by them." The Nevada County Republican Party gave me $200 and the Placer County Republican Party gave me diddly squat. :)

But in any case, I'm proud to be supported by Republicans, Democrats and independents. I'm certainly a Republican -- no secret there -- but attempts by my opponents to attack me for my party affiliation are backfiring pretty badly for them, in any case.

Anyway, appreciate your post. Shoot me an e-mail some time if you want to grab that cup of coffee.
