Jn 1988, Carol Bentley was elected IO succeed~ Stirling in the 77th ,~Y J;>istrict Now, Bentley is trying to suc- ceed Stirling once again by seek- ing his 39th Swe ScnalC District seal Stirling vacaied the seat af1.er he was named a Municipal Court judge. Bentley faces a challenge for by 781h District Assembly- woman Lucy Killea for the Stir- hng•s scat in the Dec. 5 special election. The 44-year-old Republican represents much of eastern San Diego as well as La Mesa, El Ca- jon, Santee and some unincor- porated areas of San Diego County. Her enurc assembly dis- trict is contained within the sen- ate diSlrict. For 16 years prior to her elec- tion in 1988, Bentley waked on the staffs of f ooncr S lalC Sena- tors Jack Schrade and Jim Ellis, most recently as chier or staff to Ellis. She periodically left government service IO direct campaigns for a variety or can- didales and ballot measures within San Diego county. A nauve Californian, she grew up in Riverside and moved to San Diego in I968 to aucnd San Diego Swe University. Her community activities have in- cluded California Women in Governmen1, I.he El Cajon Chamber of Commerce and she has been on the boanl of direc- tors of the East County Council on Aging.

One or the most talked about issues of the Dec. 5 special elec- tion to fill the 39th State Senate District pits Assemblywoman Lucy Kil!.:a not against her op- ponent but against the Calholic Church's teachings on abortion. The bishop of the San Diego diocese, Leo Maher, informed Killen she was being denied the right to receive Communion be- cause or political advertisements saying she supports a woman's right to choose abortion. The move thrust Killea into the national spotlight on the abortion issue. Killca, 67. a Democral, is in her founh tenn in the assembly representing the 78th Assembly District Before she was elected to the assembly in 1982, Killen was a member or I.he San Diego City Council for four years. Born in San Antonio, Texas, Killea is a long time resident or San Diego County. She was ac- uve in a number of community, educational and civic groups, in- cluding the Greater San Diego Chamber or Commerce and the San Diego Zoo Board or Direc- tors and the YWCA. She holds a master's degree from the University or San Diego and a doctorate in Latin Kmerican history also from UCSD. KiUea was appointed to the city council in 1978 and won the seal a year later. In I982, she served as deputy mayor under Pete Wilson.

Lucy Killea ' Concerns as a council mem- bers led 10 her involvement wilh the Me~ velopment Board, the City- CoiffityReinvestmenL Task Force, and the Crime Victims Fund, which she co-rounded. In I982, she was elected LO her first Lerlll in the stale legislature. Now in her founh term, she ser- ves on !he Ways and Means and Rules Committees, chairs the Senate-Assembly In1emational Trade Committee and the Select Committee on Waste Reduction, Recycling and Reuse. She also serves on lhe Transportation, Economic Development and Uti- lities and Commerce commit- tees. Kill ea' s campaign cited several accomplishments during her tenure in the legislature. In 1986, she pushed for estab- lishment of the state's "work- fare" program, GAIN. She was named "Legislator of the Year" by the Narcotics Officers Asso- ciation for her efforts LO close il- legal drug labs in San Diego County. She co-authored a bill signed into law that bans the sale ofmil- itary style assault weapons and opposes off-shore oil drilling. She also authored legislation to advance statewide recycling programs.

Carol Benlley · Her legislative commiaee ap- poin1ments include: government erlicicncy and consumer protec- tion; aging and Jong term care; public safety and select commit- ices on hazardous malCrials, pipeline, chemical plant and re- finery safety; and child care and child abuse. Her areas of legislative focus would be drug abuse, crime, ed- ucation, and trarfic congestion. Despite media attention on the abortion issue, Bentley said the issue has not received equal at- lClltion from audiences at candi- date's forums. Bentley said she ·supports aslcing the president to designa1.e I.he San Diego area as a high intensity drug trafficking area. which would pave the way for more resources to fight drugs. She also sponsored an as- sembly bill that would require the coun to order defondants sentenced 10 prison who were under the influence or alcohol or controlled subsiances while committing a felony 10 panici- pate in a drug or alcohol counsel- ing program. The bill is in the SenaLC Ap- propriations suspense file. De- partment of Corrections officials have opposed it because of I.he cost of implementing counseling programs, she said.
