Labor Day is as far down the road as the 4th of July is in the rearview mirror. These are officially the dog days of Summer. Maybe the heat can explain: How Cristina Silva writes this limp article as part of her coverage of the race in District 5. “The seat is being vacated by City Council member Jamie Bennett, who is running for mayor. Bennett supports all three candidates. ‘They all would do a good job,’ he said.” A…
The City Clerk’s office just called me with news that Jamie Bennett is filing an amended campaign treasurer’s report for the last fundraising period. This will be the third time of the campaign Bennett has been forced to submit an amended report. This latest instance comes after my insistence that Bennett did not make checks paid to me payable to PS Creative, my former company. Of course, Bennett said that I was lying right up until I threatened to file…
Just got done reading the latest, yet still atrociously designed, campaign newsletter from Jamie Bennett. I downloaded the newsletter off Bennett’s campaign website, which displays a Twitter update more than 78 days old. Anyway, it looks like Bennett’s cooking up something at Cafe Vienna on Monday night:
It looks like Jamie Bennett shot his wad on a massive direct mail-piece arriving in mailboxes this week. The mail-piece reflects Bennett’s unique political position… …the logical heir to Rick Baker’s governing legacy, which he uses a Times quote to reinforce… …the lifelong liberal, as demonstrated by his charitable work in Haiti and his position on any number of issues… …the cheerleading member of City Council… …the soldier who doesn’t know when the war is over.
From the Bay Buzz: Hear from the candidates at the Jungle Terrace Civic Association meeting Monday. The public meeting will be at 7 p.m. at Walter Fuller Recreation Center, 7891 26th. Ave. N. Candidates will give an introduction and answer questions. Jamie Bennett, Paul Congemi, Kathleen Ford, Bill Foster, Deveron Gibbons, Scott Wagman and Larry Williams are all scheduled to attend. In the City Council races, District 6 candidates Karl Nurse and Vel Thompson are scheduled to attend, as is…
Now that Rick Baker is saying he could endorse a candidate in the primary after previously indicating he would wait until the general election, let’s take a look at the real or perceived value of a Baker endorsement. Let’s begin with the obvious: Baker can’t endorse Jamie Bennett. Despite the fact that Bennett is the closest Baker has to a political heir, he just cannot waste his endorsement on Bennett. (What a shame, because if all had gone well, Bennett could…
I’ve certainly done enough damage to Jamie Bennett’s campaign that I should probably never say another thing about him. Naaahhh. Bennett’s just too easy a target. And with Alex Haak out of the mayoral race, I predict Jamie Bennett will pick up the slack in the guffaw department. My latest gripe about Bennett comes from listening to him at the most recent mayoral forums. It seems like he begins every statement with: “I stood on the steps of City Hall…
