Why do so many of California’s major corporations, labor
unions, professional trade associations, political actions
committees (PACs), broadcast and print media, universities and
libraries, along with elected officials, lobbyist, political
consultants and pollsters subscribe to the California Target Book?
Established in 1993, the California Target Book gives
non-partisan, unbiased “insider” information to all who want to be
kept fully informed and up-to-date on congressional and state
legislative elections campaigns in California.
The 2008 General Election Edition of the California
Target Book is now available. The new volume
has full analysis of the competitive races for congress and state
legislature in the past June Primary - who won and why - and the
activities of the many independent expenditure committees that
collectively spent nearly $12 million in support of or opposition to
various candidates.
The new Target Book also covers the upcoming November election, with
a full analysis of each of the the 80 assembly, 20-odd numbered
senate and 53 congressional districts up for election this year, with
particular attention to those district the Target Book editors
believe will be targeted races.
The narrative analyses are prepared by the bipartisan team of
Allan Hoffenblum, Al Pross and Darry Sragow,
three seasoned political-public affairs consultants who have each
been involved in all aspects of California politics for over 30
years, and Dr. Tony Quinn, a recognized expert in political
demographics and reapportionment.
The California Target Book's 200-plus pages also
include color district maps, vote histories (2002-2006), party
registration and minority voter populations.
A final post- General Election edition will also
be published in December.
Subscribers also receive the HOT
SHEET, a supplemental newsletter emailed directly to
subscribers, keeping them informed on breaking political stories and
the continuing activities of candidates, political parties and
legislative leaders.
Subscription price for the year, which includes both volumes
plus the HOT SHEET, is $850.
