Democratic Primary Heats Up In CA

May 24th, 2006 by Peter Slutsky

On June 6, 2006, California voters will head to the polls to decide who will take on Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in the November general election. The two candidates vying for the Democratic nomination are State Treasurer Phil Angelides and State Controller Steve Westly.

Choice “A”, State Treasurer Phil Angelides, wants to raise taxes on the wealthy, legalize gay marriage, and give driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants. He’s a staunch liberal who calls himself the “anti-Arnold.”

Choice “B”, State Controller Steve Westly, wants to reinvent how government spends money, delivers services, and provides benefits. He’s a fiscal conservative who describes himself as “a different kind of Democrat.”

The Christian Science Monitor profiles this race. Check out the article.
