WTF is up with Nicole Parra?

On June 3, I talked to Assembly womanNicole Parra in San Francisco. Nothing too important really, just a friendly, hi, I'm Brian, the evil blogger kind of thing. She was in town to support Asm. Mark Leno for Senate. It was all very cordial, despite the fact that she's made noises about thinking the Republican candidate for her seat, she's termed out, was better than the Democratic candidate, Fran Florez. By the way, I can't seem to find a website for Fran Florez...strange.

You see, the Florez family and the Parra family have something of a grudge match going on in the Central Valley. State Sen. Dean Florez campaigned against Parra's father for a county supervisor seat way back when, and Nicole is still smartin' from that.

Well, today we hear that Parra is having a presser with a "Republican party official." I honestly have no clue what this is about. Will she officially endorse Danny Gilmore, the Republican candidate? Will she switch parties? Vow to not vote for the budget?

Who knows? We'll let you know when we hear something.
