On March 11, 2022, the Daily Journal reported on those who have filed to run in the June 2022 primary election. In future interviews with local candidates, I hope the Journal will ask consistently about affordable housing solutions.

Editor,
On March 11, 2022, the Daily Journal reported on those who have filed to run in the June 2022 primary election. In future interviews with local candidates, I hope the Journal will ask consistently about affordable housing solutions.
For example, I am friends on a social media site with Kevin Mullin, our current California assemblymember. There, he asked me to support his campaign to replace our excellent retiring U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier. As there is an option to post on Kevin’s campaign page on that social media site, here is what I submitted for posting there:
“I live in North Central San Mateo and appreciate the quality of service that I received from Assembly member Mullin’s staff when I called there.
I wonder if you will post this, candidate Mullin, but many voters are very concerned about your votes in support of the State’s recently-enacted Senate Bills 9 and 10, mandating up to four units of housing on each single-family zoned lot in the state of California.
This legislation is intended to create affordable housing by densifying single family neighborhoods in all cities across the state. However, the legislation has no requirements that developers and property owners actually restrict rents to affordable levels in those new units.
What will you do differently, if we elevate you to the U.S. Congress, to try and limit the skyrocketing cost of housing across the country?”
I hope all candidates will address this key issue in the 14th Congressional District.

Mr. Handerson – if you voted for Mr. Mullin in the past, based on recent events, I think you already have a pretty good idea of what Mr. Mullin will do – whatever his special interest donors want him to do. However, if you do receive an answer from Mr. Mullin, please submit another letter.
Of course it was deleted as a post on his campaign page on that social media. I was somewhat surprised that I was not dropped as a personal friend. No reply received so far, Terence Y.
Thanks for the update, Doug. Another Democrat practicing censorship - unsurprising, which is why letters to the editor such as yours and many others are so important in keeping the public informed.
David, as usual, is right on!
