Shocker: Another CA gop Candidate That Didn’t Do Too Much Voting In The Past Wants Your Vote Now
GOP Secretary of State candidate explains why he didn’t vote—ever—until this year
Orange County businessman Damon Dunn—a wealthy former NFL player who has never run for statewide office—formally kicked off his campaign for California Secretary of State today with some big GOP backing. But here’s the twist: even as he seeks the job of chief state elections officer, Dunn told the Chronicle today that he has only voted once in his lifetime—in May 2009.
Dunn, 33, says he’s a real estate developer in Irvine and puts his net worth in the “multi-millionaire” category; but now he’s in the same club with two other wealthy GOP first-time political candidates—U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, both of whom have issued mea culpas on their infrequent trips to the ballot box.
The Chronicle reported on Whitman’s voting record last year and this year reported that Fiorina, an infrequent voter in California, had never cast a ballot in two previous states where she lived according to state records.
