Breaking news from CA-24

Interesting....

It seems that the congressman from my district has decided not to run again for 'medical reasons'.  Though I disagree with his politics, I wish him speedy recovery in whatever ails him.

Meanwhile, we may have a somewhat competitive race in this district for a change.  It is gerrymandered somewhat conservative with the inclusion of the very conservative Simi Valley, but without the incumbent advantage and an open race the voting patterns in the rest of the district make an upset a real possibility.

From my reading of a well-known conservative site, it appears like an unknown lawyer, Michael Tenenbaum, filed for the seat today in the GOP primary.  This hasn't appeared on the California SOS site yet and whether this is accurate or not, I dunno.

Given this, it looks like to me that we could be facing three non-entities (the two Democrats are "out there" candidates frankly) running for election to the seat (you don't see that too often).

That leads me to think there may be a write-in candidacy on both sides with preferred candidates.  Rather amusing in all.

According to the local paper (reg. req'd) it does appear to be the case that Tenenbaum has filed already - having wanted to file to run against Galgegly.  I don't have enough info about the various candidates (yet) to make any serious judgement calls about their politics though.

Is the name pronounced "GAllegly" or "galLEGly?"

The second, I think.

That's how I tend to pronounce it anyway.
