Former GOP Long Beach Frank Colonna lost the Long Beach Mayor’s race to Bob Foster. Now he is lookint running for the Water Replenishment Board of Southern California against fellow GOP’er Norm Ryan. See article here. The Water Replensihmnet District is HUGE and Colonna has good name ID and can raise some cash.
Four years ago Ryan was endorsed by the state party for the Long Beach Mayor’s job. After losing , he was elected to this post. This year he ran for council, failed to make the run-off and then endorsed the Dem. Creating some ill will.
It will be interesting to see where the party would go. Deadline for filing is Friday.
