Advice to Pringle: Elect Not to Run

I was amazed to read that defeated Assemblyman Curt Pringle is seriously considering moving into my Assembly district to run for John R. Lewis’ soon-to-be-vacated seat (“Dornan Backs Conroy to Replace Lewis,” April 13).

Is this man on a kamikaze mission? He got finished being beaten by a Democrat in Santa Ana just five months ago. Does he think he can fare any better against strong, local community activists who have already announced their intentions to run?

My advice to Mr. Pringle is cool your heels, lick your wounds and put those carpetbags away. We have plenty of good local Republicans to choose from in the 67th Assembly District.
