The number of interested parties for the possible position vacated by a successful recall effort of District 5 Supervisor Spellman is growing. Currently those that have publicly made their announcements of interest are Michael McDaniel, Marti Crane and most recently David Tunno.
Michael McDaniel, the driving force for the Spellman recall, is a community activist and Vietnam veteran. McDaniel claims that Spellman has not completed the job he was hired to do. His current goal is to “get the signatures” needed to recall Spellman, stating that, “As long as there are qualified people to run, which there seems to be, I will not run. None of this is even relevant if we do not reach our 1,702 signatures by Nov 28.” He further stated, “I want to make it very clear that I will not approve or disapprove of anyone. I'm not hand picking anyone.”
Marti Crane, a Volunteer center of Calaveras County Executive Director, feels she brings to the table a “keen sense of community and (an ability to) develop collaborative working relationships.” Receiving the coveted 2011 Calaveras County Female Senior of the Year award, reinforced the notion that though she has served, she has also been mentored and feels “it’s time to move forward and give back what so many have shared with me.” Mrs. Crane also has stated that, “We all work from the same budget – it’s one (county) budget. Just because we have districts, that does not mean that we have to have boundaries.”
David Tunno, a prolific author of investigative articles ranging from FEMA issues to CALPERs, and an experienced researcher of human responses in the legal realm, has recently thrown his hat in the ring as “a choice for his (Spellman’s) replacement.” With little background history in his press release, Tunno states he will set up a website for more information and promises a “surprise announcement” included in his candidate statement on the ballot material.
