Congratulations to Assemblyman Bill Emmerson who today crushed his Republican opponents, including former Assemblyman Russ Bogh, in winning the Republican nomination for State Senate in the 37th District.
Emmerson will go on to a run-off election against a Democrat whose name is irrelevant. This special election was caused by John Benoit's resignation when he was appointed to the Riverside County Board of Supervisors.
Many folks played a role in Emmerson's win (besides Emmerson) and we'll write more on it. But kudos to Emmerson's consultant Jim Nygren, and to his onsite manager Josh Cook. A shout out also goes to the California Dental Association who went “all in” for Emmerson (a dentist) and to Joe Justin, their consultant.
