NoonSonoma City Councilwoman Joanne Bouldt Sanders has announced her intent to run for state Senate in 2010 to represent the district that includes Napa County.

Sanders, currently in her second term on the Sonoma City Council, is founder and president of BOLT Staffing Service, which serves Napa, Sonoma and Solano counties.
She has already filed forms with the Secretary of State and begun fundraising for the Democratic Party nomination in the June 8 primary election.

Sanders will square off against Assemblywoman Noreen Evans, D-Santa Rosa; and Santa Rosa school board trustee David Rosas. The seat is currently held by state Sen. Pat Wiggins, D- Santa Rosa, who will not seek re-election for health reasons.
California State Senate District 2 includes parts of Sonoma and Solano counties and all of Napa, Humboldt, Mendocino, and Lake counties.

" In my household the word "politician" has become synonymous with the word "crook", and that especially pertains to our local politicians. At this point I'm loathed to vote FOR anyone, but certainly will be voting AGAINST the current politicians. Evans ranks at the top of my VOTING AGAINST list. It's time for this one to be fired!! "

" Raven: "When you rob Peter to pay Paul, you can count on Paul's support." Unfortunately, I am "Peter" and I am having my rights as a real property owner stolen along with my safety and property value, and given to someone else. Evans has been an integral part of making that happen. When a politician has a record of doing such a thing. its time to get rid of him/her. You suggest that I "throw in my own hat"? I've had too my of my wealth stolen to be able to afford to do so. And besides, I think that kind of power eventually corrupts even the most conscientious person. I wouldn't want to end up being what I hold in so much disdain. "

" We're underrepresented because we're too busy making money. The situation, as it stands, is working just fine in our favor. Is that cynical or what? "

" Great.

3 liberal Democrats to choose from.

Including: Noreen Evans who never met a new gun law bill, more taxes bill or more spending bill she didn't love

Note: The Republicans aren't much better (if at all) but it would at least be nice if we had more balance so they would cancel each other out. "

" I am suggesting that those who complain that there are no candidates worthy of the support by giving them a vote are part of the problem, so they will opt out.....if you don't like those who run, find someone you can support and encourage them or run yourself...the 'I am too busy' excuse doesn't wash nor does the 'I don't want to get my hands dirty by joining in'...if you don't want to join in, how can you expect it to improve....
