While scrolling newspaper stories about longtime local politician Jeff Stone, I came across Karel Lindemans, a former Temecula City Council member. Asked whether his colleague was ready for a run at a Riverside County supervisorial seat after serving on the council just three years, Lindemans said: “He’s bright, he’s articulate, he’s concerned. My personal favorite Stone moment was when he stormed to Portland, Oregon, to oppose the notorious Jeff Gillooly’s effort to rename himself Jeff Stone. He said his favorite political office was as a Riverside County supervisor representing a district that included Temecula, Murrieta, Hemet and San Jacinto. And the family tradition of politics continues with his sister Lori, a member of the current Murrieta City Council.
