CA-25, CA-31 and the LA Mayoral Race

Redlands Mayor Pete Aguilar is apparently upset that Joe Baca has decided to run in CA-31. Of course a lot of people were pressuring Baca to run here in 2012 and even in 2014. Apparently you just can't make some people happy.

Buck McKeon has pushed back against the retirement rumors. This doesn't mean he isn't retiring. McKeon raised a paltry $69,142 in the first quarter, $57,000 of which was from PACs. The remaining money came from 12 individual donors, who mostly appear to be affiliated with the defense industry. I assume that McKeon didn't send out any fundraising appeals, via snail mail or email, or have any fundraising events.

Eric Garcetti has a fairly comfortable 9 point lead in the latest LA mayoral poll. Mike Feuer leads Carmen Trutanich for city attorney. Dennis Zine is ahead for city controller. None of these results is a surprise.
