Tuesday, June 7, 2022 Is California Primary Elections Day

By the look of his hat and outfit, the old man exiting Ralphs supermarket was a rancher. He carried a stuffed brown plastic bag in each hand. He grimaced as he passed a woman standing outside the door holding up a Catherine Blakespear State Senate sign for him to see. The man walked about 20 feet toward the parking lot, turned sharply to the woman and snapped, “She’s a communist! She’s a damn communist!”

Meanwhile, across the parking lot at Trader Joe’s, a white Tesla sedan with an Elect Joe Kerr California State Senate sign in its passenger-side rear window sat waiting for its owner.

At Barnes & Noble about two miles away, a man stood outside the door holding up a Matt Gunderson State Senate sign for all to see.

It’s unusual to see such passionate political activity for a state Senate primary.

Go Joe!
