Former San Francisco Giants Star Aubrey Huff, a Donald Trump sycophant, is running for office in a deep-blue area of Southern California.
Aubrey Huff of the San Francisco Giants stands in the dugout during their game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at AT&T Park on Sept. 4, 2011. Huff, a Donald Trump sycophant, is running for office in a deep-blue area of Southern California.Giants star Aubrey Huff is running for a school board position in the Southern California city of Solana Beach.
It's clear Huff is relying on star power to win the seat , but there's a problem with that strategy: Since retiring in 2014, Huff has become more well known for his right-wing politics than for his prowess on the baseball diamond. Huff's ardent support for former President Donald Trump likely won't sit well with voters in Solana Beach, the San Diego County city in which Huff is running. Aof this year's June primary election shows that there isn't a single Solana Beach precinct in which Republicans outnumber Democrats.
School board races are technically non-partisan, but it's no secret that voters tend to stick to their party preferences in low-information elections like school board races. So, it's safe to assume that when left-leaning voters learn about some of Huff's more infamous statements, they'll likely vote for longtime incumbent Debra Schade.
