I was inspired by Adam Probolsky’s post this morning and did a little comparison of our San Diego legislators. If Chuck DeVore has the time to compile the results, then I can find the time. With no reference to my public school upbringing, thanks to most of the rating organizations for already having figured the percentages.
San Diego shares Mimi Walters and Bill Morrow with The OC, in case you noted them on Adam’s list already. (Denise Ducheny, Ray Haynes and Dennis Hollingsworth have also been sighted in other counties at times.)
If these limited numbers mean anything other than fodder, Haynes scored the highest overall from a conservative standpoint, with Hollingsworth a close second. Although she was a strong contender as a freshman, Lori Saldaña did not quite dethrone Chris Kehoe for liberal dominance in San Diego. And, what’s up with Shirley Horton’s rather high 46% rating from Lambda? Must be the district.
By the way, Orange County has more legislators – and Republicans, for that matter – than does San Diego, but we have more 100 percent scores … and, that’s not even counting Saldaña’s perfect 100 from Lambda. Yes, I know, that’s gonna elicit a response from my friends to the north, but I am not about to sit down and calculate the median results between the two counties.
Someone who went to private school will have to do that.
