I constantly hear about how weak the Republican party is in California, but the Democratic party has really messed up on recruiting for the congressional elections. They blew CA-31. They had no one to run in CA-41 and if they win CA-41 it's due to the presence of so many Democrats. Several of their other recruits, Julia Brownley, Jose Hernandez, Ami Bera, Raul Ruiz, either are from outside the district or lack any legislative experience. An astronaut and an emergency room doctor could be good candidates but you just don't know.
Their best recruit, Alan Lowenthal, is 71 years old and tried to kill the bullet train. I doubt they're excited about sending someone who voted no on HSR to Washington.
Then there's CA-21, another district where Democrats couldn't find anyone. They finally did and it was a Hmong candidate when the Hmong community was outside the district. He lost to John Hernandez. John Hernandez finally turned in his FEC report. He's reporting -$1,641 cash on hand. That's not debt, which is reported separately, but cash on hand. How can you have negative cash on hand?
