California State Senate Candidate Is Not Depressed
As Encinitas mayor and SANDAG chair, as a San Diego Airport Authority, Encinitas Housing Authority, Encinitas Financial Authority, San Dieguito Water District, San Elijo Joint Powers Authority board member and a state Senate candidate, Catherine Blakespear has effectively declared she is not depressed.
In a recent newsletter, Blakespear said she is “excited . . . enthusiastic . . . happy . . . and tremendously proud.”
Residents of Encinitas, the San Diego region, the 36th state Senate district and the state of California should not only be relieved but overjoyed that such an important, consequential and ambitious person as Blakespear is on the sunny side of life.
As an elected official since 2014, Blakespear has mastered blakespeak, a means of oral and written communication that conveys optimism and positivity while downplaying or ignoring negativity and failure. Wags have noted that the first letters of the syllables in both Blakespear and blakespeak are BS.
As a state Senate candidate using blakespeak, Blakespear said, “I’ll build consensus, transparently communicate, bridge divides and remain laser-focused on results.” She will focus on “opportunity, sustainability and prosperity,” she said.
Continuing in blakespeak, Blakespear said, “Throughout my career, I have bridged divides, found common ground, and built coalitions to win elections, deliver for constituents, and strengthen our communities.”
Blakespear concluded in blakespeak, “As a state senator, I will work tirelessly to make healthcare and housing more affordable, promote green policies to cool the climate, and create a just economic recovery from the consequences of the pandemic. During my time in public service, I have a history of bringing people together to find common ground and get big things done. That’s what we need in our state leaders, and that’s why I am running for state Senate.”
Blakespear demonstrates her optimism by already having an office in Sacramento. Now that’s positive thinking!
