Editor,

In reference to Rudy Espinoza’s unabashed endorsement of Burlingame Councilmember Emily Beach (Dec. 3 issue of the Daily Journal) and the subsequent Dec. 7 letter to the editor from reader Cynthia Cornell bashing his choice for representing the Peninsula in Congress with a candid, firsthand assessment of Ms. Beach’s qualifications, I hope Mr. Espinoza has no immediate plans to run for office. And by doing so hoping to garner support from the likes of Jackie Speier, Jerry Hill, Fiona Ma, Scott Wiener and Rob Bonta, who all support Kevin Mullin over his choice, Emily Beach. (Going off script for a minute, ditto David Canepa who in the same Dec. 7 issue referred to those same politicians as “the establishment.” Seriously, Mr. Canepa? Sounds like sour grapes in my opinion).

Well Bob, Rudy's kind of endorsement worked for Obama who also came out of nowhere. So, don't bet on the other candidates yet.

True, Mr. van Ulden. Fortunately, everyone now recognizes that Obama turned out to be the worst President in the history of the US. At least for now since Biden is giving Obama a run for the title. Unfortunately, it appears many still haven’t learned from that experience. Hence rising inflation and crime especially in Dem-controlled areas.

Beach would give voice to an underrepresented minority - veterans. Honor her service.
