All Signs Point to a Political Campaign Heating Up

The race to decide who will represent Benicia on the Solano County Board of Supervisors is beginning to warm up.  The race for District 2 Supervisor will be decided on June 5 and both candidates have their signs up around town.

The candidates, incumbent Linda Seifert and school board member and former Benicia Mayor Steve Messina have their big signs up around town.  Signs for both candidates carry campaign information required by the Fair Political Practices Commission telling voters who paid for the signs but only Seifert’s carry the “union bug”, indicating her signs were printed using union labor.

Are you more or less likely to vote for a candidate who gets their campaign materials printed in a union shop?  Tell us why in the comments below the article.
