I don’t get how any decent human being could support Tom Campbell.
I know you realize I don’t support Tom. I know him and he is a nice guy, his policies are wrong. Funny thing is he didn’t start out that way.
This is my Tom Campbell story.
I live in Almaden Valley & so does Tom.
A few years ago, our school district decided to close my kids’ school because the district was losing enrollment. Now, enrollment was actually going up in our area, and going way down in the poor parts of the district.
Also, my kids’ school had the 5th highest test scores in the district out of 31 elementary schools. There were other schools that were horrible.
So, we parents started a campaign to split the district. We had a petition drive. We ran into Campbell at the grocery store at one of those drives. After meeting us, he sent a letter of support for us to our district. He tried getting some financial information from the district. It didn’t work, but he did try. He also gave us lots of information about how to open a charter school.
Anyway, I was highly impressed with him. He took a lot of time with us.
I’ve run into him several more times since then. He is always very kind to everyone that works at the grocery store. He’s not uppity (like some politicians are).
I have no doubt that Campbell will be heads and tails better than Boxer.
Personally, I like him. My husband really likes Campbell also, and my husband is very conservative. On the issues, I agree with Devore. I’ve never met Devore, so I can’t go with anything personal with him.
I’ve heard negative things about Carly for years, so she is out of the question. I’ve heard good things about Meg Whitman for years.
