Bass- Jackson For Supervisor?

Yet another local pol is mulling a run against Bonnie Neely for the 1st district seat on the Board of Supervisors. Virginia Bass- Jackson, currently on the Eureka City Council, says she may just take a shot at it. That might make things interesting as former Eureka Mayor, Nancy Flemming, has also expressed interest in running. Hard to say which one I'd prefer over Bonnie Neely. I believe both Fleming and Jackson are Republicans, but it's hard to say what kind of Republican. Then again, Neely is supposedly a Republican, as well, albeit one of the big government kind, as best I can determine.

This is one race I'll certainly pay attention to. Not sure if any of the challengers would be much of a change in the status quo. Too early to tell, though, as the campaign issues haven't been defined yet. I suspect, if both Fleming and Jackson end up running, Neely will win if only because of the advantage of incumbency and the two challengers splitting the challenger vote. If only one runs, it might be a challenge with the edge going to Neely but who actually ends up winning would be anyone's guess.
