ASSEMBLY CANDIDATE FACES REVOLT AMONG PARTY DELEGATES

RUSTY HICKS’ DUAL ROLE AS PARTY HEAD AND CANDIDATE QUESTIONED By Christian Kallen
Photo by Christian Kallen
By any measure, Rusty Hicks should be one of the strongest candidates of the seven in the running for Assembly District 2 in the upcoming primary election, March 4. He has the endorsement of a passel of labor organizations—always a key indicator for a Democrat—as well as many of the public officials in the northern part of the assembly district. And not only did he win the endorsement of Jim Wood, the current assembly seat holder who is retiring at the end of his current term, but on Wednesday of this week he also received Gov. Gavin Newsom’s endorsement to add to his credentials. Hicks’ home is now in Arcata, where he lives “with his wife, Sandra, and their chocolate Labrador, Charlie,” according to his campaign website at www.rustyhicks.org. He serves as an associate professor at College of the Redwoods, a community college in Eureka, and teaches American government to incarcerated students at Pelican Bay State Prison. But he only moved into the district in 2021, making him a relatively late arrival, the most recent of the seven candidates. And he still has the job that could make him the odds-on favorite. As the chair of the California Democratic Party (CDP), Hicks has access to significant cash and other resources that the party doles out to candidates in elections. That favored status has

$1.15M Closes the Books on Roundabout LENGTHY STUDY, CONSTRUCTION PROCESS COMES TO AN END WITH SETTLEMENT By Christian Kallen
The Healdsburg Roundabout that greets northbound visitors to the downtown area, at the 5-way intersection of Mill and Vine streets and Healdsburg Avenue, has proven its worth in traffic control. The rush-hour jams that were projected by pessimists have failed to materialize, and while the traffic can be heavy it rarely comes to a standstill. Larry Zimmer, the city’s Public Works director and engineer, said the Roundabout is fulfilling its intended use. “The goal of a roundabout is
that year for their low bid of $10,318,540. Construction officially began in June 2016, but due to a variety of circumstances the project did not meet its 450day goal. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held in November 2018, declaring the Roundabout operational, but lingering legal and bookkeeping questions kept the project alive until the August 2020 date when the city accepted it as complete. Even then, however, the dispute over the amounts billed for the treatment of contaminated groundwater was alive. It was only settled this month with this final settlement. The engineering firm GHD was paid $197,000 to prepare the EIR, $1.17 million for the design, and $2.86 million for
intentionally to slow traffic so that a cyclist can safely go through and pedestrians can safely cross. It does that.” And while the Roundabout has been operational since late 2018, and was accepted by the city as complete in August 2020, a lingering dispute between the city, its contracted engineering firm and the contractor chosen to construct the project was only resolved last week, on Jan. 16. That outcome resulted in a $1.15 million settlement in the city’s favor.

first snowfall) is 87 inches; last year’s seasonal total was an epic 687 inches— only 600 to go. It looks like snowpack is accumulating at a rapid pace now. Fun facts: Global flooding it’s not, but new scientific theories posit an asteroid shower hitting the northern polar ice cap during the Ice Ages as a possible cause for the universality of flooding myths. New-ish scientific theories on ice dams are also posited for long unsolved geomorphological features in the Pacific Northwest.
Prehistoric Lake Missoula, estimated to be nearly the size of Lake Michigan, flooded eastern Washington and Oregon after glacial ice dams collapsed unleashing an estimated 500 cubic miles of water. Successive collapses in the vicinity of Glacier National Park during the Ice Ages, from 2.4 million–12,000 years ago, are now generally accepted as the cause of the “Scablands.” The Scablands are the high-desert plains with “lake bottom” features etched into the nowdry landscape of eastern Washington and Oregon. These massive floods are also said to be the reason the Columbia River turns sharply west to run laterally across Oregon to the Pacific Ocean. The Bible says it rained for 40 days and 40 nights, and waters continued to rise for 110 days in Noah’s time. Noah’s ark was reported to be 300 cubits—or about 500 feet—long, 75 feet wide and 50 feet high. There are approximately 20 inches in a cubit. The Titanic was 882 feet long, 92 feet wide and 175 feet tall. The Icon of the Seas, Royal Caribbean’s newest cruise ship which launches this week, is 1,200 feet long and 160 feet wide; it reportedly will hold about 8,000 people—5,610 passengers and 2,350 crew.

50 years ago January 24, 1974 DFG report charges Geothermal energy pollutes
Contrary to the belief of many, recent studies by Department of Fish and Game biologists show that geothermal development in the Geysers area of Sonoma County is having a pronounced adverse effect upon the excellent fish and wildlife habitat of the area. The Geysers pollute. Although it is generally believed geothermal energy is non-polluting to the environment the well drilling activity has resulted in heavy
erosion of hillsides, silting of streams, pollution of streams with drilling muds and detergents, and the possible killing of fish. DFG biologists are fearful that the planned huge expansion of geothermal activities in California will result in drastic environmental damage unless the companies doing the drilling can be persuaded or required to adopt stringent conservation measures, a DFG news release says. Research and materials provided by the Healdsburg Museum and Historical Society. The Museum, located at 221 Matheson St., is open 11am to 4pm, Thursdays through Sundays.

Next Year’s Oscar Nominees? MOVIES TO KEEP AN EYE ON IN 2024 By Jared Rasic
Dolls: Starring the great Margaret Qualley, Geraldine Viswanathan and Colman Domingo, this is the first solo directing gig from Ethan Coen, and a project he’s been connected to since the early 2000s. An homage to the ’70s exploitation romances Coen grew up with, this looks like a brutally funny postfeminist buddy movie of the kind we just don’t see anymore. March 1: Dune: Part Two: People are as excited for this as I am, right? Even if you’re not big into scifi epics, Denis Villeneuve is always a filmmaker to watch as he creates entirely new worlds out of whole cloth. Really hoping this carries the same depth as Part One. March 29: Mickey 17: Robert Pattinson, Mark Ruffalo, Toni Collette and Steven Yeun star in a sci-fi epic following Mickey, an expendable clone colonizing a dangerous ice planet. Why be excited for this?

Covid showed us what a world without new movies looked like and, for at least some of us, that was indeed the darkest time. So, consider me incredibly excited for 2024, which has new releases from proven auteurs, and more sequels, prequels and re-quels than you can shake a stick at. Basically, there’s something for just about everyone. While I can’t list everything I’m excited to see, here are a few 2024 releases I’ll be viewing opening weekend. The dates given are the projected release, which may change. In theaters now: The Book of Clarence: The new film from Jeymes Samuel, who exploded into filmmaking with his 2022 debut feature, The Harder They Fall. Starring LaKeith Stanfield, Omar
Sy, Alfre Woodard, Benedict Cumberbatch, James McAvoy and many others, this new film follows Stanfield’s Clarence, a man in 29 A.D. Jerusalem looking to capitalize on the popularity of Jesus by pretending to be the next messiah. Should be subversive and thought provoking. Feb. 2: Orion and the Dark: An animated fantasy adventure headed straight to Netflix, this story follows a young boy filled with anxiety who is deeply afraid of the dark. One night, the living embodiment of night shows up in his room and takes Orion on an adventure across his imagination to show him there’s nothing to fear from the dark. I’m mostly excited for this because it’s written by my favorite film scribe of all time, Charlie Kaufman (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Adaptation), and because it’s time for another truly great animated film. Feb. 23: Drive-Away
COLD TREATMENT Robert Pattinson takes a bath in ‘Mickey 17,’ due in theaters March 29.

LOVE MAD Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix in ‘Joker: Folie à Deux,’ due in theaters in October. Local news at your fingertips every week Just $1.00!
Aside from the cast, this is Bong Joon-ho’s first new movie since he blew everyone’s minds with 2019’s Parasite. His films are unmissable. April 26: Civil War: The great Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Devs) imagines what the United States would look like when caught in the throes of a civil war. There are images in the trailer I can’t get out of my head, so I’m really hoping the film shows the ridiculousness of our divides and calls for our country to come back together, as opposed to cementing the culture war into something more insidious. This should be the movie everyone is talking about in April. May 24: Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga: If Fury Road is, dare I say, inarguably the best action movie of the 21st century so far, then a prequel following young Furiosa (here played by Anya Taylor-Joy) with George Miller still in the director’s chair has me
entirely too excited. I’m not sure if it’s even possible to reach the same highs as Fury Road, but I would never bet against Miller. June 14: Inside Out 2: I’m not crying, you’re crying. Aug. 9: Speak No Evil: An American remake of the deeply terrifying 2022 Danish thriller, this film stars James McAvoy. Expect this to be one of the most talked about horror movies of the year. Oct. 4: Joker: Folie à Deux: I wasn’t as in love with 2019’s Joker as most people, but I’m very excited for this sequel, and to see Joaquin Phoenix fully inhabit the Joker at his worst. Plus, with Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn, it feels like this could be a genuinely haunting character study of psychosis. Or, it might be awful. Nov. 22: Gladiator 2: I’m mostly excited for this because of Paul Mescal and Denzel Washington, but Ridley Scott is such an idiosyncratic director that
no matter what I imagine this movie is going to be like, I’ll be way off. Some of the most exciting releases for 2024 (that aren’t sequels or based on existing IP) either don’t have concrete release dates set, especially for smaller markets, or haven’t even been announced. But here’s a few more to keep your eyes peeled for this year: The Zone of Interest, a holocaust drama from Jonathan Glazer; an untitled Jordan Peele project due to come out Christmas Day; Babes, the directorial debut of Pamela Adlon starring Ilana Glazer; Hit Man, Richard Linklater’s newest, a comedy action flick starring Glen Powell; Kinds of Kindness, Yorgos Lanthimos’ already-filmed follow-up to Poor Things; and finally Megalopolis, the 40-year passion project of the great Francis Ford Coppola.

November 24, 1936 – January 14, 2024
aul Daniel O’Connor, Jr. passed away at the age of 87 on January 14, 2024, at his residence in Reston Virginia attended by his loving family. Paul was born November 24, 1936, and grew up in Allendale, New Jersey. After graduating from Ramsey High School, he was admitted to the United States Naval Academy where he was a member of the 17th Company of the Brigade of Midshipmen. Upon graduation in June 1959 Paul was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Air Force and joined the 566th Strategic Missile Squadron in the Strategic Air Command. After three years, he left the USAF for the University of Virginia School of Law, graduating with a J.D. in 1965. He was a member of the New York Bar and began his legal career with the law firm Winthrop, Stimson, Putnam & Roberts in New York City as associate (1965–1972) and partner (1972– 1980). He left private practice to serve as Senior Vice President and General Counsel of The Singer Company in Stamford, Connecticut from 1980– 1986. From 1986–2021, Paul was the executor and trustee for Wayne and Gladys Valley Estates in San Leandro and Oakland, CA, and CEO of Citation Builders, Inc., the Valley’s company, from 1985-1995. He became a member of the California Bar in 1995 and practiced law in Healdsburg and Santa Rosa, CA from 1995–2007. Paul’s many interests included: riding and showing horses (he competed in the hunter and jumper divisions on the East Coast and California); restoring and driving Model A Fords, 1950s English sports cars, and World War II jeeps and trucks; and, later in life, singing and playing bluegrass, western swing, and blues music on the banjo, dobro, acoustic guitar, and steel guitar. With his beloved German Shepherd dog Duchess, Paul was a longtime resident of Healdsburg, CA, until March 2021 when he moved to Virginia. Paul is preceded in death by his parents Paul and Anne, and his sister, Jane. He is survived by his former wives Nancy O’Connor and Melissa Monson; his son Steven and his wife Julia, his daughter Sheryl and her husband Steve, and his daughter Laura and her husband Andy; grandchildren Shawn, Daniel, Brooke, and Lauren; and great-grandchildren Graham and Isla. A graveside service will be held at George Washington Memorial Park Cemetery in Paramus, New Jersey at a later date.

September 3, 1964 – January 13, 2024
ergio De La O, Jr. passed away at the age of 59. He was born in Brawley, California to Sergio and Luisa De La O, the second of three children. In 1967, he moved with his parents, older sister, and maternal grandmother, to Healdsburg, California. Five years later, he became a big brother. Sergio graduated from California State University, Chico with two Bachelor of Science degrees; one in Child Development, and one in Psychology, and a minor in Family Relations. He enjoyed working with children and was employed at Head Start, Sonoma County Family YMCA, and as the Center Director for Extended Childcare at Cali Calmecac School in Windsor for 24 years. Sergio was compassionate, humorous, and a sponge of knowledge. He loved the ocean, cooking, listening to all types of music, and eating cultural food. He was a great storyteller, and had an incredible memory for all things related to family stories, which brought him the most joy. He was someone who could light up a room and who you could always count on to make you laugh. Sergio was preceded in death, less than 10 months, by his mother, Luisa; and preceded by his grandmothers Jesus ‘Chuy’ Lorenzana & Refugio ‘Cuca’ De La O. He is survived by his father Sergio; sisters Yadira Rosas & Jessie Lina De La O; nieces Lili Apgar (Gabe) & Angela Jensen (Mike); nephew Julian Rosas (Amanda); and numerous uncles, aunts, cousins and friends. A funeral service will be held at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Healdsburg on Friday, February 2, 2024, with visitation from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m., and a Mass starting at 1 p.m. Interment will take place at Oak Mound Cemetery in Healdsburg at 2 p.m., followed by a private Celebration of Life.

Scott Weidemier knows wrestling can be a hard sell in Healdsburg these days. But he’s doing his best to bring the sport back to the prominent role it held not that long ago. Sharp-eyed sports fans know there’s more than one red-andblue banner at the gym that claims a league championship in wrestling. This year, however, Weidemier’s team of 15 is so inexperienced that they compete at the JV level.
Fifteen members is not a very large squad, and for most of them it’s their first year. “I think we might have, I don’t know, five years experience total with the group we have,” he said. That five years of total experience is not of time spent in actual competition, which makes every match a learning experience, like the most recent match against Windsor last week. “They’re the strongest team in the area, and we didn’t win a match, but it probably was the best overall effort we’ve had all year,” Weidemier said. “Just from the standpoint of being aggressive, trying
kids wrestling.” Fifteen student-athletes is not a huge program, but it’s a big improvement on the four students he coached last year. Part of the need to rebuild the wrestling program is due to Covid, but a lot of blame falls to declining school enrollment and the changing demographic of families living in Healdsburg. “Twenty, 30, 40 years ago it was a much more rural farming community. And now with tourism and everything else, it’s just an entirely different demographic for sure,” he said. That means youngsters don’t grow up knowing about the sport, and are less willing to try it, he speculated. It’s interesting that Healdsburg High’s current principal, Francisco Manriquez, served as wrestling coach at Cardinal Newman. Said Manriquez of the HHS wrestling coach, “He is very positive and he can make a comeback. We love having him and are happy to support him.” Cardinal Newman was on the JV schedule earlier this month, and the Greyhounds got schooled, losing 61 points to 9—though they did manage to get two wins, from senior Maximiliano Suazo (150 lbs) and freshman Eli Zepeda (285 lbs). And, as time goes on and the experience with competition grows, Weidemier becomes optimistic.

things, not just walking out there and being intimidated. And you know, they got hammered, but they actually responded. So it was good to see.” The team went back to Windsor two days later for a JV tournament, and this time they won a few medals—one fourth place, four thirds and a second, to freshman David Campbell (122 lbs). Weidemier has hopes for a varsity team next year, and to slowly rebuild a once-strong tradition. He is not just a wrestling coach, but Healdsburg’s wrestling coach. He graduated from HHS in 1979 and went to SRJC, wrestling the whole way. He took over the Healdsburg wrestling program in 1983, and has trained countless league champions and medalists. He is a true believer. “Wrestling is that perfect balance of athletic ability,” he said. “It requires strength, it requires speed, it requires balance and a sense of leverage. You might not start the sport having all those tools necessarily, but it will help develop them.” He also calls wrestling a perfect training vehicle for other sports, especially football. “Randy Parmeter has been super supportive and helpful with getting his kids to come out and do it,” Weidemier said of the current varsity football coach. “He wants his

“They’re starting to put it together, he said. “It’s just [that] those varsity matches are a little problematic.” He added, “I’m just excited about this group of kids; it’s really kind of one of those rare groups. They all get along. They work hard. They’re still struggling just trying to
put things together in the right way, but, you know, wrestling’s not a sport you can learn in a month and a half.” The Healdsburg JV wrestling team can next be seen at the Frost Gym on the Healdsburg High in a dual meet with Maria Carrillo on Wednesday, Jan. 31, at 6pm.
Hoops Teams on Winning Streaks By Caleb Knudsen
It’s a good year for girls basketball, in the Healdsburg area and beyond. Just last week Stanford’s women’s coach Tara VanDerveer became the winningest coach in college basketball history, passing Duke University coach Mike Krzyzewski with more than 1,202 wins in her career. More locally, and perhaps less dramatically, the Healdsburg Lady Greyhounds are on a 10-game winning streak and hope to sweep the rest of their North Bay Redwood league opponents over the next two weeks, playing teams they have already defeated once on their march through the season.
Following last week’s home victory against Piner, the Greyhound girls met Rancho Cotate on a Saturday night at Smith Robinson, squeezing out a 67-30 victory. “Our game plan was to push the tempo both offensively and defensively, but Rancho is solid and played us very well,” said coach Jim Lago. “Once we got in our rhythm we started rolling and broke the game wide open in the third quarter and kept our foot on the gas through the fourth.” The early game was a tough first quarter, as Rancho held the usually highscoring Healdsburg to just 10 points and countered with 8 of their own. The second quarter was a different story, as Healdsburg scored 19 points to Rancho’s 5, all of them by senior Janice Williams who led her team with 12
points overall. But Healdsburg senior Hailey Webb was on a roll, amassing 21 points during the night. Among Hailey’s scores was a 3-point shot late in the fourth quarter— her 77th career 3-pointer, setting a school record and in doing so, besting her mother Alicia Webb’s previous high of 76 3-pointers, set back in 1994. Other top producers for the Lady Greyhounds were Allie Espinoza with 14 points, followed by Ruby Leffew with 13. It was another game where the hard-playing Healdsburg girls showed their dominance in the North Bay Redwood league. That could change on Wednesday night of this week (results too late for press time) when Healdsburg meets, or will have met, Windsor on the Jaguar’s home court. It was

BOTH HEALDSBURG, RIO LINDO LEAD THEIR LEAGUES WITH UNDEFEATED SEASONS—SO FAR
LEADING Healdsburg’s Amelia Wickersham (1) leads Hailey Webb (22) down court in the second quarter of the Jan. 15 game against Piner. The Greyhounds won their 9th straight game. Windsor that handed the Greyhounds their only league loss last year, and coach Lago and the student-athletes are hoping history doesn’t repeat itself. Their next home game is Friday, Jan. 26, in the season’s rematch with St. Vincent de Paul, who they convincingly defeated 57-13 on Jan. 11.
Rio Lindo Girls
Up the river, the Rio Lindo Adventist Lady Spartans are likewise on a roll, with
an 11-3 season record and 5-0 in the Small School Bridge league. “Our girls team keeps winning,” said the school’s athletic director, Kevin Hardesty. The team’s record is only marred by losses to Division 4 or 5 teams that usually make playoffs in their league, including Healdsburg on Nov. 16. “Our big game left on the calendar is a reschedule with Mendocino for Monday, Feb. 5, here at
Rio,” he continued. “That game will likely determine who gets the No. 2 seed in NCS playoffs; SF Waldorf will likely be the No. 1 seed.” Leading the scoring for the Lady Spartans is senior Belen Hernandez, with over 14 points per game, followed by Kaia Miller, another senior, with just over 10. Their next game is Wednesday, Jan. 31, at 4pm against Summerfield Waldorf, at Rio Lindo Academy.

Healdsburg’s boys basketball team remains without a win in league play this year, 0-4, and only three wins on the season against 15 losses. Their latest game saw
Thatcher Little continues to lead team scoring, with strong contributions from James Parmeter and Ethan Overdorf. But the clock is ticking on the 2023-24 season, with just a handful of games remaining.

Rio Vista Boys
While the Rio Vista girls team is undefeated in their league play, the boys team is not doing as well, 6-7 overall, 1-4 in the league. They also play Summerfield Waldorf on Jan. 31, with a 5:30pm tipoff. The school is located at 3200 Rio Lindo Ave., just over two miles up Bailache Road.

The final score of 80-14 suggests a match best played out of town, as this one was last Friday, Jan. 19. Two days earlier the Greyhounds showed signs of improvement, mounting some strong drives but falling 45-34 at home.

Revolt in Party Ranks ➝1
Loyola in 2014, following deployment to Afghanistan where he served as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Navy. He ran for and won the party chair seat in 2019, after the previous chair resigned. Prior to that he held the position of president of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor for almost five years. Divided Priorities But his recent decision to run for the state assembly seat did not sit well with some members of his party. Rouvier pointed out that the CDP “sends more Representatives to Congress than any other state. From Crescent City to San Diego, control of the House of Representatives goes through California.” In December, Rouvier and two dozen other CDP delegates urged Hicks to resign the party chair, citing party bylaws that present the dual role as a “conflict of interest and neglect of duty.” Going further, the statement says, “Hicks
has engaged in misconduct and neglect of duty by placing his ambition ahead of the interests of the Party.” Their statement further reads, in part: “Hicks is running for State Assembly, kicking off his campaign with no prior notice to the Party and no discussion with delegates as to the best path forward for the Party as it fights with a national coalition to save our Republic and the Democratic institutions.” Hicks’ initial response to the letter was his own statement, “The claims are baseless and without merit. I will not resign.” When Hicks’ office was contacted this week by the Tribune, it was Robin Swanson, a communications professional for the Hicks campaign, who responded by email. “As for the Rouvier request, for frame of reference there are more than 3,500 delegates to the California Democratic Party. Rusty is thrilled to have been elected Chair by an overwhelming majority of them and will continue in that role.”
Since the initial 27 signers of the complaint, said Rouvier, there have been an additional 134 signatures—70 of whom are delegates. While this is not by any means a majority of the party delegates, it is a growing number. Rouvier intends to submit the delegate signatures on Feb. 28 to petition the party to agendize the issue at their next meeting, which is not scheduled until May (“although a special meeting could be called earlier,” she said). However, with the primary election set for March 5, it’s quite possible that Hicks will find himself running for the assembly seat for the following eight months, until the November general election. The complete list of candidates includes Willits resident Cynthia Click; Del Norte School District Trustee Michael Greer (the only Republican in the race); Rusty Hicks, California Democratic Party chair; Ariel Kelley, Healdsburg councilmember; Frankie Myers, vice chair of the Yurok

She reminded us of the accomplishments of President Biden and what is at stake with this election. Her message, however, was hopeful and respectful. I was definitely inspired by her words.” In her remarks, the First Lady asked attendees to remember how they felt the day after the 2016 election, when Donald Trump was elected president. (She did not speak his name Thursday.) The recollection drew groans from the liberal-leaning audience. “I don’t want to wake up again the next morning and say, ‘Oh, we should have started earlier. We should have done this differently, we should have done that,’” Biden said. “No. We have to begin right now. We have to meet this moment as if our rights are at stake—because they are. As if democracy is at stake—because it is.”
“The event went smoothly, I was happy with it,” Barbara Grasseschi said afterward. “All my guests were delighted to see and hear from the First Lady, and left energized about the upcoming election.”
On to Ohio A bit after 4pm, the First Lady’s convoy came down the long driveway to Chiquita Road, where a county sheriff deputy stood between the caravan and the chanting members of the same Sonoma County for Palestine demonstrators (“Cease Fire Now!”) who had followed the caravan to Healdsburg. Now, for the second time, they made their presence known with signs, song and chants. The black Chevy Suburbans headed north on Chiquita Road to Lytton Springs, and from there back to Highway 101 and the Sonoma County Airport. The Gulfstream took off in the day’s final light, headed back to Los Angeles for the night before continuing to another fundraiser, this one in Ohio. Following that, the First Lady joined her husband the president in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where they have a home.

The First Lady’s convoy continued on its way north on Highway 101 to the Lytton Springs exit, thereby bypassing the city itself.

Crabb and Grasseschi have hosted similar events in the past—including one for Kamala Harris—but a First Lady is something special. Two members of the Healdsburg City Council were invited to the event, Vice Mayor Evelyn Mitchell and former mayor, Ariel Kelley. “Dr. Biden was lovely and charismatic,” Kelley said afterward. “Having the First Lady here in Healdsburg was such an honor, I did not want to miss it. She was poised, funny and sincere.”

raised questions about the suitability of a candidate being in a position to hand out party support, and questions about one person’s ability to have two demanding party roles. A growing number of CDP members have signed a petition urging Hicks to step down from his party seat, saying that his divided interests and energies make him unable to fully perform his party role. “It is simply impossible for any human to simultaneously manage the campaigns for every county, assembly race, Senate race, statewide race and so much more all at the same time as running their own more-than-full-time campaign for assembly,” said Hélène Rouvier, an executive board member of the CDP. “Rusty is not superhuman,” she added. “He is cutting corners, and we will all pay the price.” Hicks, 44, received h i s law degree from
