Diane Harkey, Mayor of Dana Point, has officially thrown her hat into the arena to replace outgoing Assemblywoman Mimi Walters in the 73rd State Assembly District.
PS: For the record. Larry Gilbert endorsed Diane in her race for the State Senate won by Tom Harman and endorses her in this race. A partial listing of her endorsements for the Assembly seat include: Congressmen John Campbell, Ed Royce, Darrell Issa and Ken Calvert.
Current 73rd District Assemblywoman Mimi Walters is serving as her honorary Campaign Chair.
What’s your thoughts about Prop 140 the 1990 CA Term Limits Initiative where CA. Assemblymembers are limited to three, two year, terms?
Is that adequate time for them to find the restrooms inside the Capitol and develop relationships with their peers to craft and pass Legislation where many bills end up in the two year cycle bin?
Would you support a revision to our Term Limits laws so that our state assemblymembers and senators might be permitted to serve a maximum of 14 years without the need to move from house to house?
i.e. Ray Haynes moved from the Assembly to the Senate and returned to the Assembly due to the current restrictions.
Let’s relax the State term limits. They have been detrimental, the lack of institutional memory in Sacramento is downright scary. Besides, career politicians have found ways to play musical chairs anyway and the voters approve. (Ray Haynes is but one example, we currently have two County Supervisors who were termed out in Sacramento, etc.).
Hey Larry,
Diane ran for State Senate against Harman, not Assembly.
Otherwise, good post. Diane will make a great addition to the Assembly!
Thank you Ryan Gene.
Can’t believe I made that mistake but the post has been corrected.
Diane Harkey is unstable and has a long history of lawsuits and angry creditors. Paul Glabb will hopefully make the decision to run and rid us of Harkey.
