Changing of the right guard

Article Abstract:

Republican leaders Jim Brulte from Rancho Cucamonga and Ken Maddy from Fresno stepped down from their positions in Summer of 1995 in favor of more aggressive and conservative Assemblyman Curt Pringle and Senator Rob Hurtt respectively. While this transition was voluntary in the case of Brulte, Ken Maddy was thrown out of his position. Both parties are likely to fight over term limits. Brulte has shown his keenness for lending his full fledged support for the 1996 campaign whereas no such sentiments were shown by Maddy.

Sacramento's youth movement

Article Abstract:

California's Proposition 140 imposed limits on the terms of the state's Senate and Assembly leaders. Those who support the concept of term limits argue that the system allows highly qualified politicians to become leaders based entirely on merit. Without term limits, experience would be the overriding factor in the election of leaders. The long-term impact of term limits on the state's political scenery is analyzed.

The no-party system

Article Abstract:

The stance against Proposition 198 by both the Republicans and the Democrats has resulted in Californian voters supporting the proposition, deserting both parties and looking towards independent candidates. The Republicans and the Democrats are expected to dominate the political scene, but they could have less influence in ideological debates if the number of moderate voters carries on increasing.
