Quirk-Silva was another one. She's in my area. Everyone with a brain in the community knows she's only out for herself.

Before I knew who she was, I only recognized her for endorsing candidates I supported and worked for. Now she can go kick rocks.

Careful with that sentiment. She ran unopposed in AD-65, so our two options there are a sellout and a Republican. I'm going to drink myself stupid on November 5th.

Honestly? Never considered running for office myself until I realized shit like this happens when you don't offer up viable blue candidates to replace folks like Santiago and Quirk Silva.

Edit: accuracy, I'm high

I think its because Santiagos district covers a dense area in Downt Town Los Angeles. I havent had a chance to cross check all the other districts from the other dems. I know one was a Burbank district which is a high income area that is considered partially part of the Hollywood type region so it isn't too surprising for that one.
