TUSTIN
Businessman John Campbell, who will vie for the 70th Assembly District seat against Irvine Mayor Christina L. Shea in the 2000 campaign, will be the guest speaker at the Tustin Area Republican Assembly’s meeting at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 22.
“I am running to provide leadership,” Campbell, an Irvine resident, said Wednesday in announcing his bid. “My career has been in business, but my roots are in politics.”
The seat for the 70th District, which includes most of Tustin, will be vacated in 2000 because of term limits. Since the California primary has been advanced to March 7, 2000, candidates must begin campaigning sooner than usual.
In addition to Campbell’s speech, the group’s president, Jay Peterson, will offer an analysis of the impeachment trial’s outcome and its potential impact on the next election and the Republican Party. The meeting will be at Tustin Hospital, 14642 Newport Ave., in the conference room. For $10, dinner, dessert and a beverage will be included. Information: (714) 593-1437.
