Bustamante had an apparently icy relationship with Governor Davis, a fellow Democrat, during his tenure. They reportedly had not talked in months before the recall election approached. Bustamante's decision to run in the recall election was controversial, as many supporters of Governor Davis had urged prominent Democrats not to run, in an attempt to undermine the legitimacy of the event. During the recall election, Bustamante ran on a platform slogan of "No on Recall, Yes on Bustamante,"[1][2] indicating he opposed the recall. Bustamante is currently the Democratic candidate for California Insurance Commissioner. [3] California Insurance Commissioners ...


Bustamante drew some criticism during the election for his involvement with the Chicano organization MEChA in the 1970s. He also was accused of accepting donations above the state's contribution cap by funneling money through former campaign accounts. He was also criticized for accepting many contributions from Native American casinos.

Bustamante is a moderate Democrat, and in the 2004 presidential primary served as California campaign chair for the campaign of U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman, who has been oft criticized by other Democrats for his support of Bush administration policies.

2006 Insurance Commissioner election

In Bustamante's official candidate statement, he says "I want to become an example to others to lead healthier lives by losing weight myself. Obesity in California costs $7.7 billion a year." Bustamante claims to have recently shed 43 pounds to 235 pounds by means of diet and exercise. His campaign Web site features recipes that include "Cruz's Healthy Breakfast Frittata" and also includes tips on fitness.


Bustamante easily won the June 6, 2006 Democratic primary, receiving 70.5% of the vote and defeating his challenger, John Kraft. Bustamante will run against Republican Steve Poizner in November. In the June Primary Bustamante received 1,606,913 Democratic votes, Kraft 674,309 democratic votes, and Poizner 1,472,729 Republican votes. Many political analysts believe that Kraft, who ran a low-key campaign where he took no campaign contributions, received those votes as a protest for Bustamante's behavior during the 2003 recall election. [4] The key issue will be if Poizner can be effective in swaying the 674,309 Kraft Democratic voters into believing that John Garamendi did not provide effective change in the Worker's Compensation crisis which is driving businesses out of California. However, Kraft plans to actively campaign for Bustamante, and is donating a significant portion of his fortune as a heir to Kraft Foods to Bustamante. [5] Steve Poizner is an entrepreneur, and founder of SnapTrak. ... John Raymond Garamendi (born 1945) is a U.S. politician and a member of the Democratic Party. ... A crisis is a turning point or decisive moment in events. ... Kraft Foods Inc. ...


Bustamante announced that he would not be returning insurance industry contributions to his campaign, a position criticized by Poizner and campiagn ethicists. Bustamante also failed to meet a deadline to submit a campaign statement to voters. Thus, the campaign is deemed too close to call. [6]


Criticism

In 2001, Bustamante was speaking before a group of approximately 400 black labor activists when, reciting a list of black labor groups which came to existence over a hundred years ago, many which still had "Negro" in their title, he mentioned the National Negro American Labor Council, but the word "nigger" slipped out. Realizing the mistake, he immediately apologized to his audience: "If you heard what I think I heard, I want you to know it wasn't me," he said. "It's not the way I was raised, it's not the way I was taught, it's not the way I raised my children and it's not what's in my heart." [7]


In April of 2004, The Fair Political Practices Commission fined Bustamante a record $263,000 for violating campaign finance laws. [8]
