The fight in the conservative district
There are some fighting words in Fred Ortega's article about the open Senate seat in the 29th District. State Sen. Bob Margett is vacating the seat, and now Bob Huff and Dennis Mountjoy are going to duke it out to represent the convservative district.
"Bob Huff has no name ID and Margett's endorsement doesn't mean much," said Mountjoy, whose father served in the Assembly from 1978 to 1995 and authored Proposition 187, the controversial measure that would have denied state services to illegal aliens. "The Mountjoy name has been on the ballot for 30 years and is still good and strong. It stands for principle."
