We keep hearing that County Clerk Tom Daly wants to be our next county supervisor, replacing Chris Norby, the current job holder, who is termed out next year.
We have never cared much for the idea – not because Tom isn’t a likable sort of fellow, but instead because he has held a series of government jobs in and around the County since the 1980s and we don’t relish the thought of being represented by a typical insider, career politician-type.
What really worries us is the fact that the Democrat Daly is being energetically promoted by one-time conservative Republican John Lewis, the campaign consultant/lobbyist whose modus operandi is to get ‘em into office and then begin to lobby ‘em.
But back to the Daly campaign. Apart from Daly’s announcement away back in March – six months ago – we’ve heard virtually nothing about the his campaign, except that Lewis paid a loud visit to Chris Norby a few months ago trying to secure the latter’s endorsement for his man Daly. He didn’t get it.
So we’ve decided to help the Daly campaign. To that end we’ve designed a nifty campaign sign, several thousand of which we plan to decorate the Fourth Supervisorial District if in fact, Daly does decide to run after all. Hope you like it!
You should print them up as a form, leaving just a line for the name of the “candidate” to be filled in later. In that way this sign format could be used for numerous candidates, currently and over the years to come. It seems we are beseiged by termed-out electeds shopping around for another elected office to try – Bill Campbell, Todd Spitzer, Norby, Silva, and the beat goes on.
The Daly campaign hopes you print tens of thousands and put them up all over the county. These “cute” attempts at negative campaigning only build name I.D. and help the person you want to hurt. So go ahead and print em up!
I LOVE IT!
Can someone please tell Tom Daly to run for 4th District Supervisor seat. We want a new boss at the Clerk Recorder office.
He is a terrible boss who doens’t give a damm about his staff. We all hate coming to work!!!!
He doens’t talked to anyone except the young girls!
“He doens’t talked to anyone except the young girls!”
Do you REALLY work for the County? No wonder things are so screwed up.
#2, If Daly wasn’t a career politician I would say you have a valid point, but because he is one you are dead wrong.
