Mike Holmes - Republican or Democrat?

Posted by Aaron Park on June 11, 2008 at 12:16 PM

Mike Holmes is an Auburn City Council Member who does not like John Doolittle very much.

He likes Doolittle so much that he ran against him twice in the primary. In 2006 – he was effectively Pete McCloskey’s shill for Charlie Brown. Holmes was part of a strategy to take down Pombo and Doolittle.

After Pombo lost, McCloskey re-registered Democrat and has been out campaigning with Brown.

Mike Holmes, for his part has been busy. He refused to endorse John Doolittle after losing in the 2006 primary. Ted Gaines confronted him in front of the Placer GOP committee about that very issue and he refused.

Mike Holmes has also been very unifying in his comments about the Placer GOP Central Committee. READ THIS POST for more on Mike’s classy comments in the Auburn Journal.

Now Holmes is repeating his old tricks in 2008.

Holmes reportedly called Tom McClintock and when McClintock extended pleasantries – Holmes declared, “I haven’t endorsed you yet!”

Apparently, Holmes overestimates his importance – or he really is a Democrat who is registered Republican out of convenience.

Holmes has espoused Pro-Choice, Anti-Growth, Pro-Gay Marriage positions in the past. He opposes the Auburn Dam and endorses only Liberal Candidates when he does endorse.

Holmes should be held accountable for his behavior. Maybe it will start when he takes his seat on the Central Committee in 2009.
