Last night was a great night for HSG Campaigns and for progressives all across the country.
In Los Angeles, HSG Campaigns client and first time candidate Joe Buscaino won his primary for the LA City Council. He managed to upset his opponents from the political establishment and now moves into a run-off election for Congresswoman Janice Hahn’s old Council seat.
“Early favorites were [Pat] McOsker, 51, who stepped aside temporarily as president of the city’s firefighters union, and [Assemblymember Warren] Furutani, who had the backing of the county and state Democratic Party.
…But it was Buscaino who emerged early as a grass-roots favorite, especially among voters in San Pedro, where his lawn signs were prolific.”
Other HSG Campaigns clients in the LA area include Fredrick Sykes, who advanced to the run-off for his West Covina City Council race, and the LA County Federation of Labor, which helped re-elect El Monte Mayor Andre Quintero by a 58% to 42% margin.
Big Wins for Progressives Everywhere
The big news this morning is how well progressives did in races across the country.
In Ohio, they defeated Governor John Kasich’s union-busting law by a whopping 61% to 39% margin. In Mississippi, they killed an anti-choice state amendment 58% to 42%.
We also saved the Kentucky governor’s mansion, our state senate majorities in Iowa (and possibly Virginia), and Election Day registration in Maine.
Congratulations to our clients and progressive friends everywhere!
