Comments on this Race
Once a Republican-leaning swing district, this has become a safe
Democratic hold. Main contenders for 2006 include Paul Krekorian who
lost to Frommer in 2000 and fmr. Assemblyman Scott Wildman did not run
for his final term in 2000 so he could run for Senate against eventual
winner Jack Scott. Also regularly mentioned is Glendale Mayor Frank
Quintero.
Wildman would have the highest name recognition, but he also has
suffered a very public loss in the 2000 Senate race and a subsequent
loss to Eric Garcetti in a race for city council. He has spent the
last few years working for SEIU, and could bring a significant level
of labor support - but his primary opponents will have current elected
positions from which to build a base of organizational support.
Krekorian will have the backing of the enormous Armenian population
and has been heavily involved in the Burbank portion of the district
as a local school board member. He should be a strong front-runner.
Quintero could snag support from former fmr. Governor Davis if that
has any value in '06, but his work on the city council at a time of
budget cuts could provide plenty of fodder for a negative campaign.
The big question at this point: What Will Dario Frommer Do? As
Majority Leader he could be influential in sorting out the field - he
will definitely have more say behind he scenes than most termed-out
members.
