It's a problem all across the country at various levels.
The L.A. area has a congressional special election coming up (mail ballots already out) and the Democrat, Janice Hahn, is herself an L.A. city councilwoman but also daughter of an L.A. supervisor (40 yrs!), the sister of the former D.A./mayor of L.A. and niece of another assemblyman/councilman.
Craig Huey (R) knocked off the Dem Sec of State for the second slot in the general (open primaries here now) but it'll be hard to overcome the inertia of the Hahn dynasty.

I could not agree more, from San Fran to North Carolina, government at all levels has become totally infiltrated with control freaks, queers, the immoral, the corrupt, and the greedy...It's really beyond belief.
