The food fight is getting interesting. From 80th Assembly District candidate Steve Castaneda…
Elections Require a Campaign Not a Coronation
Castaneda Poll Shows Reality Not Wishful Thinking
In response to the loaded poll released by Lorena Gonzalez’s State Assembly campaign, the Castaneda campaign released the following statement:
“Polls are a snapshot in time. It is clear that if the election were held today, Steve Castaneda would be in a prime spot to win this race, with a 5% lead. The Gonzalez camp would like nothing better than to turn this into a Sacramento driven-coronation party, and releasing their push poll just plays into this fantasy.”
Here are the facts:
Steve Castaneda has a stronger base in the 80th Assembly District, having lived in and served the City of Chula Vista for over 20 years as a Planning Commissioner and a Councilmember.
In a low turnout special election, over 50% of the district is in the City of Chula Vista.
Steve Castaneda has the support of hundreds of real people who actually live in the community because they know that he will continue to put the interests of their district first, not special interests.
