Statement from Diane
Thank you! everyone who supported my campaign. Many of you worked very hard in your local areas by passing out fliers, cards, and writing letters to the editor. Thank you for the endorsements of various groups. Considering the low voter turn-out we showed well.
We nearly met the goal of keeping the incumbent under 50% and proved the “land-slide theory” wrong. The surprise is the showing of the Green Party candidate who writes for the Socialist International magazine. She wrote about the exit exam and struck a chord among the far left. The low voter turn-out likely contributed to this outcome.
My percentages were good in many counties reaching over twenty percent in several instances. I placed second in counties such as Orange County, Ventura County, Placer County, Riverside County, Kings County, and Kern County. I may not have faired as well in San Diego due to the heated congressional race. There were about eight to ten counties where I was a very close third.
If I get the opportunity to run this race again when there is no incumbent, a good strategy would be to target a “politician’s dozen” of fourteen counties, where the largest number of votes can be gained. Just a little tweaking, and the opportunity for a vote in the fall election when the voter turnout is highest, and we would have a chance. Name recognition is building…
I plan to keep my website up. Hopefully I will be able to make some changes by the end of the summer before the fall election. We have given many ideas to improve education in California and have achieved getting the dialogue going between both parties. I hope I can be of help to get education moving forward in California to benefit our children and grandchildren.
Please view my site from time to time regarding education issues.
