Is La Habra city councilwoman Rose Espinosa going to run for County Supervisor? Apparently she has made an “intent to run” filing – the first step in the campaign process. At this early junture it may be too soon to tell if she is serious or merely posturing – going for a deal with County Dems and union honchos.

All of this seems like excellent news for Fullerton’s own Shawn Nelson. A split Democratic vote means that the Dems will end up going after each other – not him in the primary, and, who knows, a solid Republican candidacy might get 50% +1.
