During the peak of the Reagan Revolution, fewer big cities were more reliable Republican than Glendale, an older suburb near Los Angeles. Glendale produced heroes Pat Nolan, former Assembly Republican Leader and Prop 13 baby [1978 to 1994] and Congressman James Rogan [1996 to 2000] of Impeachment fame, now a Superior Court Judge.
But things began to change in Glendale. Pat Nolan’s block by block precinct organization deteriorated. Demographics shifted. Democrats saw a golden opportunity and took over this once proud Republican stronghold, the assembly, the senate and the congressional seats.
Something is astir in the Glendale. Jane Barnett move back after serving the conservative movement in Sacramento and Morton Blackwell’s Leadership Institute in Washington DC. She began to rebuild the invincible Nolan organization.
Jane is taking on incumbent Paul Krekorian, a former non descript school board member. district The 43rd. Assembly District is a former Republican stronghold. Jane seeks to return the district back to its natural home. 
Her opponent, as an elected Assemblyman who still practices law in a partnership called Fisher and Krekorian. What’s interesting is that Krekorian advertises that he is the chairman of the strangely named Select Committee on the Preservation of the Entertainment Industry. By happy coincidence his law firm specializes in Entertainment Law. I suppose the really smart Hollywood producers had better engage Fisher & Krekorian if they want to be preserved.
However, Krekorian does so much more. As a dependable SEIU and liberal vote, he voted for all major tax increases since getting elected. The state Chamber of Commerce describes the vast majority of his business votes as ‘job killers" . This is a district where small business and commerce are crucial. All the way from Glendale he "fought" plastic pollution in the oceans. Krekorian is particularly concerned with lawyers welfare. He sponsored or supported over a dozen bills that would make suing businesses much easier. My favorite is, if you are found using marijuana in a drug test, you would not longer be able to fire that employee. If you do, you get sued and the dope smoker can fire up with your cash.
Jane Barnett is sane. She represents the vast majority the conservative leaning folks in the Glendale-Burbank community. She enjoys he endorsement of the National Taxpayers Limitation Committee. She signed Grover Nordquist’s No New Taxes pledge. Moreover, she has Supervisor Mike Antonovich’s support and a rare endorsement from everyone’s hero, soon to be, Congressman Tom McClintock.
Jane’s real forte is her grassroots organizing abilities. More than half the precincts are walked. Local Republican clubs are activated and new ones coming on line. If you like Sarah Palin and her plain spoken message you will love Jane Barnett. Look her up here and see what the excitement is about.
