The most progressive Democratic Club (the Patrick Henry Democratic Club) in the county endorsed three candidates in the Huntington Beach race: Steve Ray, Joey Racano and Debbie Cook. The club did not do a lot of endorsements. So these are three really important candidates. The clubs website is at

That's why most of the Irvine City Council is Democrat although the city is Republican. The more Democrats who get name recognition, the more that will have an easier time when they run for higher office. Also, remember that the key is not just electing Democrats. Zell Miller is a Democrat. The key is to elect progressives like those mentioned above.
