2010 California Race Tracker Home

californianintexas — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 10:08:22 CDT

the 2010 California Race Tracker!

2010 will be a fun election year in California. One U.S. Senate seat and all 53 House seats are all up for re-election. All statewide offices; Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Treasurer, Controller, Insurance Commissioner, and Education Superintendent; are also up. 20 of the 40 State Senate seats (even-numbered districts) and all 80 State Assembly seats will also be up, as will all 4 districts in the Board of Equalization and 3 Supreme Court justices. This site will also cover two upcoming mayoral races, the Los Angeles mayoral election in 2009, and the San Jose mayoral election in 2010.

I designed this site to keep track of all the election madness in one place. Please feel free to jump right in and contribute anything you think might be useful for everyone heading into 2010. If you've heard about a candidate possibly running for office, please either include a link to a reputable news source or clearly note that what you've added is merely a rumor, an educated guess, a recruitment idea, or just conventional wisdom. Rumors are okay, but they ought to have some basis in reality.

Sub-pages dealing with each race branch off from each of those. For all races, each race gets a sub-page, with individual races branching off at that point. For some examples, check out the Governor, State Senate District 8, US Congress main page, and the CA-23 page. Thank you for your contributions!
