In 1988.

Bentley faces a challenge for by 7 th District Assembly- woman Lucy Killea for the Stir- ling's scat in the Dec. 5 special election. The 44-year-old epublican represents much of eastern San Diego as well as La Mesa. El Ca- jon, Santee and me unincor- porated areas of San Diego County. Ha- entire assembly dis- trict is contained within the sen- ate disuicL For 16 years prior to her elec- tion in 1988, Bentley worked on the taff of former State Sena- tors J le Schrade and Jim Ellis, mo t recently 1.1 chief of taIT to Ellis. She periodically left government service to direct campaigns for a variety of can- didates and ballot measures within San Diego c.oumy. A native Californian, she grew up in Riverside and moved to San Diego in 1968 to attend San Diego StalC University. Her community activities have in- cluded California Women in Government, the El Cajon Chamber of Commerce and she has been on the board of di.rec- tol'! of the Ea.st County Council on Aging.

One of the most talked about issues of the Dec. 5 special elec- tion to fill the 39th State Senate Distric t pits Assemblywoman Lucy K.ill..:a not against her op- ponent but against the Catholic Church•s teachings on abortion. The bishop of the San Diego diocese, Leo Maher, informed K.illea she was being denied the right to receive Communion be- cause of political advertisements saying she supports a woman's right to choose abortion. The move thrust K.illea inlO the national spotlight on the abortion issue. Killea, 67, a Democrat, is in her fourth term in the assembly representing the 78th Assembly DistricL Before sbe was elected to the assembly in 1982, K.illea was a member of the San Diego City Council for four years. Born in San Antonio, Texas, Ki Ilea is a long time resident of San Diego County. She was ac- tive in a number of community, educational and civic groups, in- cluding the Greater San Diego Chamber of Commerce and the San Diego Zoo Board of Direc- tors and the YWCA. She holds a master's degree from the University of San Diego and a doctorate in Latin American history also from UCSD. KiUea was appointed to the city council in 1978 and won the seat a year later. In 1982, she served as deputy mayor under Pete Wilson.

Lucy KiUea ' Concerns as a council mem- bers led 10·her involvement with theM~ velopment Board, the City- C01~jjtyReinvestment Task Force, and the Crime Victims Fund, which she co-founded. In 1982, she was elected to her first term in the state legislature. Now in her fourth term, she ser- ves on the Ways and Means and Rules Committees, chairs the Senate-Assembly International Trade Committee and the Select Committee on Waste Reduction, Recycling and Reuse. She also serves on the Transportation, Economic Development and Uti- lities and Commerce commit- tees. Killea'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 to close il- legal drug labs in San Diego County. She co-authored a bill signed into law that bans the sale of mil- itary style assault weapons and opposes off-shore oil drilling. She also authored legislation to advance statewide recycling programs.

Carol Bentley · Her legislative committee ap- pointments include: government efficiency and consumer protec- tion: aging and long term care: public safety and select commit- tees on hazardous materials, 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 traffic congestion. Despite media attention on the abortion issue, Bentley said the issue has not received equal at- tention from audiences at candi- date's forums. Bentley said she ·supports asking the president to designate the San Diego area as a high intensi ty 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 court to order defondants sentenced to prison who were under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances while committing a felony to partici- pate in a drug or alcohol counsel- ing program. The bill is in the Senate Ap- propriations suspense file. De- partment of Corrections officials have opposed it because of the cost of implementing counseling programs, she said.
