SOMETIMES YOUR FRIENDS CAN'T HELP YOU

by Bob Walsh


Michael Tubbs is the current mayor of Stockton.  He was the youngest mayor of a large US city ever, at the age of 30 and the first Black mayor of the city.  Oprah and Obama both liked him and said so.  HBO made a movie that was allegedly about Stockton but was really about him.

He was opposed by Kevin Lincoln.  Lincoln ended up behind Tubbs by 20% in the primary.  Lincoln is a Stockton native and businessman and ended up winning the general election by 12%.  he is ahead by about 12,000 votes with only 7,500 votes left to count in the whole county.  Tubbs has conceded.
