Congratulations to Bobby, Richard, Herb and Ken (almost in the order I predicted). Good luck.

I did about what I expected after running an extremely negative campaign against development, tourism, traffic, airport pollution, SMMR, subsidizing the homeless industry and Prop. S.

I will never again run for City Council as a member of the Green Party, but I will continue to lobby for grassroots, participatory, electronic democracy to empower the residents of Santa Monica and exclude special interests.
