David Oh, remember him?

Several of us around these parts supported his agonizingly close election race for the second of two city charter guaranteed minority party seats for City Council At-Large. Basically in a razor-thin election for a guaranteed Republican seat, many of us argued for throwing some support for a smart former ADA "good-government" Republican with a strong record of standing up for equality under the law (read local NAACP endorsement, history of pro-bono legal aide work for recent immigrants, Log Cabin Republicans endorsement) against Republican incumbent Jack Kelly - who though by most accounts is a "nice guy" has been far from legislative workhorse. Kelly heavily outspent Oh and received strong support from both the local GOP establishment and interestingly some of the less progressive factions of the local Democratic Party establishment.
