Seymour’s Appointment
California has hit the jackpot with Gov. Pete Wilson’s appointment of state Sen. John Seymour (R-Anaheim) as his U.S. Senate replacement.
Far from being a shallow or wishy-washy person, Seymour is pragmatic and open-minded enough to listen. He also has the mental toughness and fortitude to accomplish what he sets out to do.
Seymour does not take the expedient side of an issue. He was a leader in educational reform long before it was popular. Particularly for the youth of our nation, a group so often disregarded by most politicians, he is a rock of strength. In the areas of education and drug and alcohol abuse, he has the best record of any elected California official.
