Nathan Fletcher’s abrupt resignation from the San Diego County Board of Supervisors last week puts him in a notorious pantheon of local Democratic politicians.
But sex scandals have been far more prevalent among local Democrats. Yet, even some adversaries of Democrats say they should be looked at individually rather than as a fatal flaw of the party.
Kern says it mostly has to do with the law of averages, especially in recent decades as the region has become increasingly blue. Mix in the trappings of elected office and you’ve got the potential makings of a sex scandal, said former Los Angeles Times reporter Tony Perry, who covered many of the falls from grace.Luna is not as charitable when it comes to the party’s culpability. He argues that party leaders are to blame for looking the other way when one of theirs does something wrong.
“The San Diego Democratic Party, while it has had great political success, tends to have a conveyor belt system of how you move up,” Luna said. “You start at the city council. You move up to the board of supervisors, assembly. And if you’re on that train, the people above you and below you need you to stay there so there is a tendency to not want to hold people accountable even though it always comes out in the end.”“People knew Nathan Fletcher had a problem,” Luna said.
