from County Supervisor Bill Horn

The good news: Thanks to your generous support, my campaign has shifted into high gear in advance of the June 3 primary election. I’ve been endorsed by nearly every elected official in North County, by the Sheriff, D.A., and Deputy Sheriffs. Our campaign signs have sprung up all over North County (though a few are still available if you have a location).

The bad news: The County’s largest public employee union – the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) – has let it be known they are prepared to spend up to $400,000 to defeat me and replace me with their hand-picked surrogate, Oceanside Mayor Jim Wood. Wood has no campaign to speak of. He is relying 100% on support from public employee unions.

We’ve had over two decades of responsible fiscal leadership at the County – policies that put taxpayers first and never resorted to tax increases. If SEIU succeeds in defeating me – and believe me, $400,000 in campaign spending can do considerable damage – our County’s reputation for fiscal stability could be threatened.

Our best defense against their anticipated attacks is to communicate positive information to voters about my accomplishments and leadership, but to do that I need your help right now.

You can help us defend against SEIU’s attempt to buy our election. Make a maximum contribution today by going to my webpage.  If you’ve already contributed the $700 maximum, forward this appeal to a friend or business associate with a note explaining how important this election is for our county. But time is of the essence. Absentee ballots arrive in less than two weeks, so please give today.

Thanks again for your support.
