With public opinion tilting against public employee unions, the California Republican Party says D7 council candidate Mat Kostrinsky (D) does not want voters to know of his career interlude with the influential local SEIU chapter.  And a check of the Biography Page at Kostrinsky’s campaign website  does not mention the SEIU.  SEIU press releases or agendas from Local 221 identify Kostrinsky as an SEIU official here in 2010 and again here in 2007 .

District 7′s boundaries were redrawn by a Kangaroo Court  Redistricting Commission in 2011.  D7 incumbent Marti Emerald then fled  relocated to District 9.  The Republican Party of San Diego and the CRP endorse homegrown businessman & Patrick Henry High School grad (and football player) Scott Sherman in the contest with Kostrinsky for D7.  District 7′s  history includes Republican council members like Judy McCarty and Larry Stirling, both of whom endorse Scott Sherman.

And Yes, sports fans, where you went to high school and played football (for the Patriots in this case) still matters in places like Allied Gardens, Del Cerro, San Carlos, Grantville, Tierrasanta, Mission Village, Serra Mesa, Lake Murray and the rest of beautiful Council District 7.

DISCLOSURE:   Scott Sherman for City Council is a client.

   Seriously… Mark, if you are clueless as to why we find Kostrinsky’s SEIU “omission” of interest — and are intrigued by the further cover-up clumsily attempted by Lorena Gonzalez — you will never get it.

   But upon reflection, it’s more likely that you DO get it, and are just not happy that WE get it.

   Wow Lorena! Talk about a new low in SD politics. How about Mat Kostrinsky’s campaign folks calling voters to inform them that Scott Sherman, an insurance agent, was involved in declining claims made by homeowners in the 2007 wildfires that struck SD County. Guess it’s desperation time for the Kostrinsky and union folks. total rubbish and you all know it.

   U-T San Diego isn’t buying Mat’s story.
   Candidate worked for union, said he didn’t
   On the campaign trail, City Council candidate Mat Kostrinsky of Del Cerro denied ever working for a union — even though he did. . .
