2020, the election campaigns have begun

It's the Ventura/Ojai district, and it's a vote for 8 of these 9 people thing. Which is kinda ridiculous. The rule here is don't vote for Malissa S. -- not because she's bad or anything, but none of us know her. You'd think if you ran for a party office you'd turn up to at least one of the party meetings. And well, in politics showing up is job one. All of the rest of us are on a slate, even people who actually hate each other quite publicly, because hey, showing up.

If he's in Camarillo/Santa Paula/Fillmore, then the 3rd county supervisor race is interesting. The seat was held by Kathy Long, who I think hit her term limit. So someone recruited Kelly Long to run for the same seat, and she got elected on the basis of name recognition. So now we have to run campaigns against "the Wrong Long."
