Looks like we are going to have 8 candidates filing for Rocklin City Council.

If I was handicapping that race, I’d say the incumbents look pretty good – however, George Magnusen may have seriously hurt himself endorsing Liberal Democrat Elaine Rowen.

Dan Dafoe – Democrat Activist is the most recent to pull Rocklin Papers. There appear to be two little to unknown Republicans in the race as well.

Sierra College Simmons seat – someone from Whitney Ranch looks to have pulled papers. Word is that he is supported by the incumbents on the Rocklin City Council. Magnusen must have missed that memo.

There look to be two other contestants besides Elaine Rowen – Rowen is a liberal Democrat Activists being supported by Liberals like Joanne Neft, Bill Martin (the masterminde of Save Sierra College (from what!?)) and Barbara Vineyard.

Don’t look now, but JoAnne Neft is starting a “Republicans for Brown group” – no suprise there. I have a post coming out about her and the Placer County Raging RINO’s.

Aaron Klein – whose endorsement of Tom Cosgorve was a major victory (Cosgrove was a vociferous critic of Klein’s in the past) – is going to draw an opponent as well. The opponent appears to be an associate of Cheryl Maki. Maki is the former Mayor of Auburn, while she is personally Conservative, she does not like Aaron Klein very much.

Scott Tim Leslie will run unopposed.

Roseville City Council looks like Allard, Garcia (incumbents) along with Sam Cannon, Pauline Rocucci (recognize that name?) and liberal Democrat Activist Rene Aguilera.

We could be seeing a redux of what Aguilera did to Rocky Rockholm in 2006 – running to split the vote in an attempt to help Rocucci.
