Breaking a bad streak: Last week it was reported that Congressman Bob Filner’s chief of staff Humberto Peraza had left the Congressman to go and work for SD city councilman Ben Hueso.

He has a short list of nominations, but so far he is favoring lawyers. I guess us non-lawyers to don’t cut the mustard.
David Bejarano has raised over $100,000 in two short months, that is a lot of money, considering the primary is still a year away.
