In 2006, I ran unopposed in the primary for the 54^th assembly district.  The seat was then occupied by Democrat, Betty Karnette.  There has been an unofficial agreement in place for many years between the parties whereby Republican Legislators agree not to support a Republican Nominee  running against an incumbent Democrat and in turn, Democratic Legislators will not support a Democratic Nominee against an incumbent Republican.  In a year when republicans took a beating at the polls, I was able to pull in over 45,000 votes in the 54^th District (nearly 40%).  This was, the highest % of any republican assembly candidate in Los Angeles County running against an incumbent!  At one point in the campaign, the democrats were so fearful of losing the seat that the San Diego Democratic Central Committee funneled $40,000 into Karnette’s campaign.

This year the 54^th AD is an open seat.  Even with the great support that I had built, the ‘entrenched’ republicans, campaign consultants, and lobbyists have gone out to find a candidate to run against me in the primary.  The campaign consultants obviously want to get paid and the lobbyists want someone that they can influence.  As a principled conservative Republican, they would have less influence with me. 

This same group of Republicans will be repeating the same mistake they made in 2005.  In a special election in the 53^rd AD, the party did not back Greg Hill, the 2004 Nominee.  Instead, their backing went to an individual who was not involved with local Republicans and had to start from scratch to build voter support.  The caveat here is that this candidate had money.  L.A. County Supervisor, Don Knabe, agreed that Greg Hill should have been backed by the party.  The supported candidate went on to lose the race and received a lower percentage of the vote in 2006 than I did.
