By Jim Miller Monica Montgomery Steppe’s win in the San Diego County Board of Supervisors District 4 race last week was expected but still constitutes a historic triumph for the first black woman ever elected to serve in that capacity. Her easy victory over the Reopen San Diego leader, Amy Reichert, sent the rightwing darling packing for the second time in as many elections and is evidence that San Diego has the potential to transform itself from simply a place where Democrats can win majorities to a county where a genuinely thoroughgoing progressive agenda might be enacted.
Another great analysis. I would just disagree on one point” Her win over Janessa Goldbeck was far more significant to me. Beating a so-called progressive democrat (who thought it was ok to serve during Bush’s criminal wars)…in a predominately democratic district was the greater challenge. Nevertheless, as you stated, this is a ‘historic triumph’!
