On the Republican side, Palmdale Mayor Pro Tem Mike Dispenza and Ollie McCaulley, a Palmdale resident and chairman of the California Minority GOP Coalition, have officially declared their candidacies for the seat now held by Assemblyman George Runner, R-Lancaster. His move further complicates the candidacies of each of the others - most pointedly, that of Assembly Speaker Antonio Villaraigosa, who, like Becerra, would become the first Latino mayor of modem Los Angeles if elected in 2001, but who now faces a serious contest within his own voter base. The Hollis candidacy is backed by the most sophisticated Socialist campaign ever--complete with a World Wide Web page, a campaign staff that includes veterans of Jesse Jackson's 1988 campaign and various Green Party candidacies, and an aggressive plan for landing the party candidates on the ballot in all fifty states and the District of Columbia. |
