In a pointed release, the Yamada Campaign said:
“In what may go down as a banner day for the modern feminist movement, the California PAC of the National Organization for Women chose to make no endorsement in the Democratic Primary between Mariko Yamada, a professional social worker and two-term female County Supervisor and her male opponent, Christopher Cabaldon the former President and CEO of EdVoice.
EdVoice funds campaigns for candidates supportive of its agenda to “reform schools” and has already set aside $350,000 in an independent expenditure for Cabaldon’s campaign. In October of 2007, while Cabaldon was still at EdVoice’s helm, the education reform group donated $120,000 to NOW’s Women Vote 2008 campaign.”
The Yamada press release goes on to say:
“Yamada received the news of the “no endorsement” decision on April 18th via a letter dated “April 25, 2008” on official California NOW-PAC stationary that includes the moving Susan B. Anthony quote, “Never another season of silence…” in its footer.
Yamada is the mother of two grown daughters, has served for nine years as an organizer of the Yolo County Women’s History Month Celebration and recently sponsored the first Solano County Women’s History Month Luncheon. Both events raise money to add women’s history materials to the Yolo and Solano County Library systems. She will receive the 2008 Woman of Distinction Award from Soroptimist International of Davis in May.
These efforts, among other attributes, did earn Yamada the endorsement of the California List, whose mission is clear: to elect pro-choice, Democratic women to the State Legislature.”
Yesterday, California NOW sent out a press release responding to what they called “false allegations from [the] Yamada campaign.”
Helen Grieco the executive director said:
“The CA NOW PAC’s mission is, first and foremost, to elect feminist women to office. The CA NOW PAC endorses candidates who will fight for reproductive justice for all women and who possess a broad knowledge and understanding of issues important to women’s health, safety and equal opportunity.”
She goes on to say:
“Our allies at Planned Parenthood and Equality California chose not to endorse Yamada and to endorse Christopher Cabaldon, a CA NOW member.”
Furthermore, Ms. Grieco questioned Yamada’s commitment on the issues that NOW is most concerned about.
“Mariko Yamada was not seen by our PAC as the strongest advocate for the current issues we face. Unable to support Yamada, the CA NOW PAC chose not to make any endorsement in the 8th Assembly race at this time.”
NOW goes on to clarify the accusations by Yamada that their endorsement process was compromised by their work with EdVoice.
“The CA NOW PAC has worked with EdVoice to achieve our shared goal of electing more feminist women to office, including Fran Pavley (SD 23), Carol Liu (SD 21), and Joan Buchanan (AD 15).”
They go on to argue that the claim that NOW received money from EdVoice is erroneous.
“However, Yamada’s claim that the CA NOW PAC, “received $120,000 from EdVoice” is erroneous. Neither the CA NOW PAC nor CA NOW has received any funds from EdVoice, rather, EdVoice allocated funds for the shared campaign.”
In scathing language, NOW rebukes the Yamada campaign:
“For Yamada to suggest that the CA NOW PAC endorsement process was compromised by our work with EdVoice is insulting.”
The Cabaldon campaign has also issued a statement:
West Sacramento-Mariko Yamada’s bitter denunciation of California NOW for not endorsing her in the 8th Assembly District last week is merely the latest of weekly rants, hurling accusations at anyone and any organization that does not support her. That pattern of distortion is not new to her campaign–it belies an antagonistic disregard for the integrity of public debate and has revealed that she had no intention of upholding her publicized pledge of running a clean campaign, which is why nearly all of the elected officials who work most closely with her on the Board of Supervisors and the Davis City Council have endorsed Christopher Cabaldon.
Christopher Cabaldon is proud of his longstanding partnership with California NOW during his tenure as President of EdVoice, as they worked together to elect pro-education, pro-equality legislative candidates like former school teacher Fran Pavley, former higher education committee chair Carol Liu, and school board member Joan Buchanan.
California NOW’s choice to not endorse Mariko Yamada reflects the consensus of women leaders in the district and feminists committed to equality. Christopher Cabaldon is the sole endorsed candidate of the Planned Parenthood PAC, Equality California, and all of the 8th District’s elected women serving as mayors, supervisors, and state legislators, as well as several former presidents of California Women Lead (formerly CEWAER).
The Vanguard was unable to contact Brian Micek for a response today, but if he sends out a response later today, it will be added to this article.

Again, more evidence that the Yamada Campaign is going down the tubes. Grasping at straws and attempting to twist the facts reveals Yamada’s bitterness at not receiving the NOW endorsement primarily because Yamada is a woman and Cabaldon is a man. That sense of entitlement is another reason that Yamada is going to lose.

Lay off Yamada. She’s a good person who happens to have shady people running her campaign. Had she chosen people who has a little integrity in running a campaign, she may be neck and neck with Cabaldon.
Her campaign’s actions shouldn’t be attributed to the candidate herself.

What a coup for Cabaldon! If it were not for her release, I don’t think anyone would have known that NOW didn’t endorse Yamada.
This also gives Cabaldon the opportunity to talk about his Planned Parenthood endorsement, which wasn’t getting any attention.
So, the Sacramento Bee or Davis Enterprise now gets to write a story about how Yamada is losing these endorsements and using conspiracy theories to attack a women’s organization like NOW?
Beating up on NOW… Great idea Brian. That’s a way to introduce your candidate to undecided voters.
Maybe next you will beat up on the Sierra Club who just endorsed Cabaldon. Or the Democratic Party. Or Helen Thompson and Lois Wolk.

A political action committee remaining neutral in an election is wierd. But worse is the person or group who states that they are refraining from endorsing only to succumb to pressure or threats and goes ahead and endorses. What is worse of all is the dual endorsements – something I’ve seen more this election than I’ve ever seen before. It makes me really believe that there is undue pressure be exerted on local politicos – bullying, to say it bluntly. Now, do I really want to vote for a candidate that will continue to pester and bully people who have already publically endorsed another candidate to force a dual endorsement? Do I believe that this person will allow others to have a separate opinion on things when in office? I’m not so sure.

You cannot just separate the staff from the candidate. Mariko should take ownership and responsibility for the strategies/tactics of her campaign and the actions of the people she is employing.
Mariko has repeatedly said that she was going to run a positive campaign, on the issues, and not just politics as usual. Yet, her campaign manager has been attacking Cabaldon and attacking other organizations. How exactly did a positive discussion about policy turn into the campaign manager calling every news station in the region when he came across Cabaldon’s car with a boot? If he was polluting the Delta, that could be seen within a policy context, but what Brian did in that instance was just about the same political “gotcha!” stuff that we are all sick of.
While we all may like Mariko and feel like she is not showing her true colors right now, we also cannot just dismiss the work of her campaign as having nothing to do with her. I received this attack on NOW on Thursday by getting the press release forwarded to me, then again over the weekend when her campaign sent out another one of their missives. If this was not a reflection of how she wanted to run her campaign, then I presume she would be able to stop it.

“Sweeter even than to have had the joy of caring for children of my own has it been to me to help bring about a better state of things for mothers generally, so that their unborn little ones could not be willed away from them.”
Susan B. Anthony 1889
It is very strange that NOW would quote or even refer to Susan B. Anthony AND limit their endorsements to pro-choice candidates given Susan B. Anthony’s statement regarding abortion. Susan B. Anthony,Elizabeth Cady Stanton,Victoria Woodhull and other early feminists vehemently opposed abortion. They did not want to be treated as property and could not in good conscience treat their own children as less than human either.
It is really too bad that NOW has collapsed into an organization whose main agenda is about abortion.
No wonder they don’t care what Yamada did regarding women’s history or any other issues concerning women. If its not about abortion, they don’t care.
As for Cabaldon, I am going to vote for him, but when men support abortion, all I can think about is the fact that more than 80% of women who have abortions state that their reason for having an abortion is lack of financial or emotional support. Abortion didn’t liberate women, it freed men from their responsibilities.
Fertility is not an ailment, and pregnancy is not a disease. Healthy
women get pregnant and have babies, get over it!

What does Ed Voice do? They fund use Eli Broad’s money to bust the teacher’s unions. What can we expect from Cabaldon on education? Support for teachers or support for union busting. In the end Cabaldon will dance for the piper payers that make him their front man in the assembly.

Good point by “don’t blame the campaign and not blame the candidate.”
Yamada for months chose to ignore advise from seasoned professionals to the point where the major campaign consultants refused to work on her campaign. Her campaign manager left because she would not take his advice and he ended up having to sue him. For months people told her to stop pushing the stupid study areas. She did not. She lost most of her base in Davis. NONE OF THAT HAD TO DO WITH MICEK. IT WAS ALL HER.

i find it odd that NOW didn’t actually lay out what distinguished cabaldon from yamada on the issues in question. one would think, as an issues PAC, that it would be rather straight forward to do so.
unless “we back frontrunners so we look effective” is the reason.

Wu Ming it is clear and simple just read Marikos Material and it comes right out of the Mod or even Conservative Playbook. A flyer that Yamada passes out but had publicly contradicted what it says on it.
That brings us back to questioning her campaign. She is just following the lead of her campaign staff and not showing leadership to control her own campaign. This shows that she will be a lemming of a legislator and never question and think out things on her own.
Mariko your better then this, (I hope) don’t allow your campaign staff to ruin you. You at this point are done in this race, protect your name and stop having others speak for you. You still have a great political future jus not this time in the assembly.
Its time to stop the campaign support Cabaldon and protect your name and political life.
We love you Mariko, that is why we want to see you do the right thing.

IT’S ALL ABOUT MARIKO!
Mariko’s campaing is going this way because she completely lacks substance! She did not even know what to call the CA HS exit exam (CAHSEE) at a debate…no wonder CTA is backing her. She will CERTAINLY hold teachers accountable for results and student success.
She is letting the goons on her campaign staff grasp at straws because that’s all they have. She is a complete cipher with no agenda or policy ideas of her own.
It must be so frustrating for them when others realize this. The truth hurts.
No wonder all she can do is lash out when others do not fall in line with the CTA…
IT’S ALL ABOUT MARIKO!
Mariko’s campaing is going this way because she completely lacks substance! She did not even know what to call the CA HS exit exam (CAHSEE) at a debate…no wonder CTA is backing her. She will CERTAINLY hold teachers accountable for results and student success.
She is letting the goons on her campaign staff grasp at straws because that’s all they have. She is a complete cipher with no agenda or policy ideas of her own.
It must be so frustrating for them when others realize this. The truth hurts.

Wow, the People’s Vanguard comments section is getting to be, in relation to originally published content, as interesting as Letters To The Editor sections of local papers.
Maybe it should just change its name to the Vanguard of Davis…

I’m assuming this would be the campaign memo options for Yamada when they found out they lost the NOW endorsement.
Option 1:
When you don’t receive an endorsement that you should easily get, don’t call any attention to it, and the whole thing will blow over, then move on.
Option 2:
Send out a press release denouncing a women’s group that EVERYONE holds in such high regard by saying they were bought and paid for, then act as if you know what’s best for the feminist rights movement. Oh, and tell everyone you’re severely losing in the all-important financial game. Then when a reporter calls to clarify, continue saying that NOW was bribed into a no endorsement stance.
Please, please, please someone tell me that we can pay Yamada’s campaign to run McCain’s Presidential bid!

Who’s running for Assembly, Brian
Micek or Mariko Yamada?
When the National Organization for Women blasts the woman in the race for being less feminist than the dude who outflanked her on women issues and even took the lengths to get a freaking NOW membership, you know that something is wrong at Camp Yamada.
Let’s face it, Yamada needs to stay true to herself. She’s not the type to attack people constantly yet she’s running a campaign that seems to only do attacks and nothing else. She can win by going back to why people were with her to begin with, and stick to the issues that she’s good at.

From Christopher’s Facebook Profile status update: “Christopher Cabaldon For Assembly is a bit perplexed that his opponent chose a developer fundraiser over showing up at a candidate debate.”
I love that these come to my phone. The coolest thing ever. Maybe I could get Brian Micek’s status updates, as in: “Brian Micek is finding a way to get himself quoted in the paper again.”
Brilliant!

NOW goes on to clarify the accusations by Yamada that their endorsement process was compromised by their work with EdVoice.
“The CA NOW PAC has worked with EdVoice to achieve our shared goal of electing more feminist women to office, including Fran Pavley (SD 23), Carol Liu (SD 21), and Joan Buchanan (AD 15).”
Well, I don’t know a lot about this particular race. But I have to wonder about exactly what kind of women’s advocacy group would endorse Joan Buchanan (AD-15) and laud her as a “feminist.”
That would be the same Joan Buchanan who, as a member of the School Board for the San Ramon Unified School District voted to bring the rabidly pro-life, pro-abstinence “Teen Esteem” program into the San Ramon public schools in direct contravention of state law?
Heh.

Like I have posted before, by late January I knew her campaign was toast. She was advocating that Yolo County seriously examine three massive development areas next to the borders of the City of Davis. Poof … there goes the progressive support. Cabaldon quickly came out with a “I support the right of cities to control the development on their borders.”
In one issue, in a few weeks time, she demonstrated that she is clueless as a politician, and does not share the same values as to environmental planning as most of her constituents.

NOW has gone the way of political movements that have been cooped by the Establishment mainstream. Its leadership is now “graying” and primarily invested in its own political power; the current NOW leadership is ignored by the younger feminist movement. This is another example of the parallels between the Clinton/Obama and Cabaldon/Yamada political struggle.

Dear 7:12,
Are you seriously suggesting the Chris Cabaldon = Barack Obama? That’s hilarious.
I don’t dislike Cabaldon, but the man is not going to be any kind of outside progressive voice in the Assembly, or bridge any partisan divides, or anything of the kind. He was a freaking Chief of Staff for the chair of Assembly Appropriations. I like some of the legislative work he did in the Assembly, but he’s no trailblazer. He’s an INSIDER.

Karl… sorry ..just the opposite. Cabaldon is the Establishment candidate whose primary campaign was to be just a formality, a “coronation” by the Dem political machine. Cabaldon,in spite of his young years, represents the politics of the past, Wal-mart, developer money and back-room power deals..

My apologies, I misread your first comment and got the analogy backward. I was overcome by amusement and I didn’t stop to re-read it. Lesson learned.
On the subject of your second comment, I agree, although I’m not convinced he has it totally wrapped up yet. I, personally, haven’t seen enough out of Solano county to convince me that he’s got it made. Not saying it won’t happen.
But I do agree that this is something of a coronation by party types, and I object to the choices some of them made. Mike Honda for one: he is THE leader for Asian-American Democrats, and he endorses against Yamada? Now, I respect his right to endorse who he choses as a personal matter, and I don’t know if he had a preexisting relationship with Cabaldon from his time in the Senate, but on face this would have been a good one to sit out.

It should be no surprise that Japanese American Mike Honda endorsed Filipino American Christopher Cabaldon over Japanese American Mariko Yamada. Christopher has a long history of work within Asian American political organizations both in and out of the Democratic Party.

Yamada had a fundraiser last night at the Sacramento Railyards hosted by Thomas Enterprises, her developer buddies and Phil Angelidies a developer by trade. 2/3 of her campaign money has come from developer interests and their associates—all the while she condemns Cabaldon for taking developer money. Combine that developer money with additional corporate and some union donations and you have a picture similar to Cabaldon’s except he is much better at it, hence his larger treasury. Can’t wait to see her next campaign finance report.

Once Lois Wolk joined with Helen Thomson and Tom Hannigan by endorsing Christopher Cabaldon, Yamada’s effort has taken a decidedly desperate negative tone.

Can’t wait to see the next installment of the Campaign Manager Brian Micek’s work product. As the communications specialist for Camp Yamada he really has livened up the campaign as he has stepped in and fallen all over his own clever machinations

Entering the final three months of the assembly campaign the Yamada effort led by Mariko, Brian Micek and her advisors began thrashing around throwing mud in hopes something, anything will stick to the Cabaldon Campaign or Chris himself. They condemn Cabaldon for raising big money; they condemn Cabaldon for his tactics in seeking the official endorsement of the California Democratic Party; they condemn Cabaldon because his car got the boot and yesterday attacked California NOW for not endorsing Mariko and again blame Cabaldon for the loss of that endorsement.
Camp Yamada’s actions reveal why their campaign is failing. Not able to best Cabaldon on the real and important issues facing the 8th Assembly District, Yamada works hard to discredit and cast aspersions upon Cabaldon. But Cabaldon’s work creating a successful campaign that is financially sound, well organized, filled with energetic volunteers and a campaign which was endorsed by the California Democratic Party (no small feat) and by comporting himself with humility by accepting criticism and responsibility for not paying his parking tickets and working to create alliances with respected organizations such as NOW demonstrates once again why Christopher Cabaldon will win.
On the other hand, Mariko and Micek will be left with the remnants of a pathetic whining campaign, squandering the good will Yamada once had in the community.

7.2 anon and Karl are correct, Cabaldon is an “insider”, that is for sure. But Mariko is losing this race not because she is an insider or outsider (by the way, she is an insider too), but because Cabaldon has outworked her in every venue and respected the constituencies of the 8th assembly district. Yamada has acted as though she is entitled to the voters support even as she has disrespected and betrayed many important constituencies. She never understood the 8th assembly district she seeks to represent.
When 7.2 anon describes Cabaldon as “the Establishment candidate whose primary campaign was to be just a formality, a “coronation” by the Dem political machine” he is mistaken. What you see is not a “coronation” but endorsements and support earned by the hard working Cabaldon who is connecting with the voters and the most of the electeds in the district.

What you see is not a “coronation” but endorsements and support earned by the hard working Cabaldon who is connecting with the voters and the most of the electeds in the district.
7.2 anon and Karl are correct, Cabaldon is an “insider”, that is for sure. But Mariko is losing this race not because she is an insider or outsider (by the way, she is an insider too), but because Cabaldon has outworked her in every venue and respected the constituencies of the 8th assembly district. Yamada has acted as though she is entitled to the voters support even as she has disrespected and betrayed many important constituencies. She never understood the 8th assembly district she seeks to represent.

In response to NOW leadership “graying”… Actually, the President of CA NOW is a 36-year-old woman who left a corporate job to become a full time activist. The organization gets criticized by Sacramento politicians all the time because of their refusal to go along with Sacramento status quo. Issues facing women go way beyond Women’s History Month, and touting that as an indicator that Yamada is a feminist points out her “graying” knowledge of feminism. Knowing both candidates, I wish CA NOW had endorsed Christopher and stood solidly with the other groups standing up for issues and not trade organizations– Planned Parenthood, Equality California and Sierra Club.

“Actually, the President of CA NOW is a 36-year-old woman who left a corporate job to become a full time activist…”
OK.. I was half-right…and, the most important half… maybe not “graying” yet(although it doesn’t only refer to the physical; Cabaldon has been politically “graying” since his twenties) but definitely now co-opted by the corporate Establishment.

“co-opted by the Corporate Establishment”… clarify? I hate to break it to you, but CTA is the corporate establishment in Sacramento. Can you point to another race where CA NOW endorsed politically and not based on their grassroots membership? CA NOW endorsed Elena Popp over Christine Chavez and Kevin De Leon–obviously based on progressive and grassroots membership. The assertion that CA NOW is establishment is hilarious and completely unfounded.

Cabaldon’s campaign is beating Yamada’s brains out in every metric by which campaigns are judged including a strong ground performance.
Yamada has committed one blunder after another, primarily due to Mariko’s condescending attitude to the voters she seeks to represent. Combine that with both the bad advice and the arrogant insular attitude from her top advisors and you get certain defeat in the making.
Cabaldon went about the business of creating a great campaign plan, essentially a business plan and then executed it well. His campaign is full of youthful recruits, dedicated volunteers and tremendous enthusiasm. Cabaldon has listened, learned and with a great work ethic is creating his own juggernaut.

The best thing for the Cabaldon campaign has been the constant threats from CTA and others that they are going to fund a million dollar campaign for Yamada. This has meant that he and his allies are running full speed, not taking anything for granted, and accordingly out working and out maneuvering Yamada.
Yamada would actually do herself a favor if she would just leave the district, and take Brian Micek with her. The stumbling and fumbling and alienation of her progressive base is giving Sacramento Cabaldon-haters every reason to just sit this one out.
Missing a candidate debate to attend a fundraiser for Developers in Sacramento? Are you kidding me?!?! Every day is Christmas so far on the Cabaldon campaign.

“OK… I was half-right” How does Yamada’s candidacy prove the second-half of your assertion? There is an assumption that CA NOW stayed out of that race based on some sort of “establishment”, but I haven’t heard anyone defending why Yamada is a good feminist. I am involved in women’s health and to my knowledge she has never been outspoken about funding (or lack thereof) for reproductive health or domestic violence prevention. I looked on the Noon85 website, she was not listed as an endorser for that campaign… Christopher Cabaldon was. Can someone give a definitive answer as to why she is the better feminist candidate besides the fact that she is a “mother of two grown daughters” and she organized a luncheon? Her own release gives no substative base for her outrage of CA NOW.

You’re right. The Davis Enterprise should have dug into why exactly the nation’s largest women’s organization and the leading organization on choice have not supported her candidacy.
In talking to the PP folks it came down to her unwillingness to speak out against the 10% across-the-board cuts to medical in the state budget.
While she says that she is going to be so great for healthcare, schools, etc… she doesn’t have a clue about how to get any of this done. And when faced with a contradiction between her Republican tax stances and the need to preserve access to care for women, she doesn’t know where to go.
She says that she was against Prop 85, but you’re right again, she isn’t on their webpage. Both Cabaldon and Helen Thompson are.
On issues like LGBT rights she talks a good game, but doesn’t have LGBT concerns in her “equal rights” platform.

You are all right but this Ed Voice Broad money is just too weird. If you think Angelides backing Yamada is bad I have got to say that the Broad Foundation is so much worse. People we have two developer financed candidates but at least Angelides is a Democrat financing a Democrat.

Both Yamada and Cabaldon have taken developer money. But Yamada attempts to have it both ways by attacking Cabaldon for his developer contributions yet she accepts similar contributions. There is nothing wrong with Angelides helping Yamada and her accepting his help. It is Yamada’s hypocrisy that is of concern.

Cabaldon quickly came out with a “I support the right of cities to control the development on their borders.”
As a resident of West Sacramento where Cabaldon and his “developer deep pockets” control everything and get everything, I resent his quote. The only thing Christopher has going for him is his ability to talk out both sides of his mouth. He will screw the 8th District the same way he has screwed West Sacramento. A truthful quote by him should have been “I support the right of developers to control their own development, without public input.”
As a woman, I am ashamed that NOW chose the path they did. My vote is for Yamada.

…just makes sense, DPD. Cabaldon is running a disciplined staffed campaign with no shortage of money. The Vanguard is the most visible vehicle for Davis local politics. Vanguard readership has grown too big to be ignored if the Cabaldon campaign has(and does have) the resources to “cover all the bases”. The numerous postings that are LONG and DETAILED at the first appearance of any pro-Yamada comment suggest to me that there is
likly a professional whose task is to abort any traction that a pro-Yamada posting may create. Such activities are now quite common on political blogs during election campaigns. 7:50 PM’s posting claiming that cut and paste items from Cabaldon’s campaign lit are appearing in these Vanguard postings may be another clue.

“ashamed of NOW…” As a member of NOW, I know the organization does not make their endorsement based on developer issues– which seems to be your only complaint. We leave that to organizations like Sierra Club and CLCV… who incidentally endorsed Cabaldon. It is the National Organization FOR Women, and the organization supports whatever feminist will fight for women and their issues best– despite their gender. Go be ashamed somewhere else.

It is the National Organization FOR Women, and the organization supports whatever feminist will fight for women and their issues best– despite their gender. Go be ashamed somewhere else.
