A word of caution for those who plan to vote for Eugene Ruyle…according to an article in the Marin Independent Journal, he is a resident of Oakland. As far as I’m concerned, if you don’t live in our district, you shouldn’t be running for office in it. For the record, Woolsey is from Petaluma, Judd is from Rohnert Park, and Smolen is from San Rafael.
Bravo for Jim Judd.
Finally someone that thinks strait. Great answers,straight to the point. And what a difference between a businessman like Jim, that has to meet the payroll, runs a successful business and a lunatic socialist, brainwashed professor enjoying his tenure. Eugene Rayle does not come even close to Jim Judd’s inteligence. As for Woolsey, do I need to bother?

I think that Jim Judd will do a wonderful job of helping bring some common sense and good business experience to our ailing jobs market and struggling economy.I noticed that he is also the first candidate to respond to the WSC questionnaire.
It is refreshing to encounter a person who does not seek political office for his own enrichment, but for the good of our society ,our country, and future generations of Americans.
I look forward to having a representative who will pay attention to input from constituents and will represent the views of the diverse,hard working people in the 6th district.
After almost 18 years of Lynn Woolsey acting as 6th district representative, our economy and jobs prospects are not any better than before,in fact they are much worse!
I think voters have endured enough of the results of elected officials who cater to special interest groups and the political elite, and who stay in office as long as they possibly can for their own gratification.
It is time for Lynn Woolsey to retire and enjoy her grandchildren.
We need someone with a rational and fiscally responsible nature making decisions that will encourage a friendly,reliable and environmentally sound business atmosphere in California.
Let’s do what makes sense for ourselves, our children and grandchildren-let’s elect Jim Judd to congress!
