Janet Nguyen was just elected this past November to the 34th State Senate District but in two short years she will have a chance to challenge U.S. Rep. Loretta Sanchez in the 46th Congressional District.
Nguyen was elected to a four year State Senate term. She can run for her State Senate seat three times, for a total of 12 years of service. Sanchez has to run every two years but has no term limits. Continue reading
A couple of nights ago, a deputy spotted a black Ford sedan in a no-parking zone near Bake Parkway and Trabuco Road and saw a man with campaign signs climb into the passenger seat. The driver was Lake Forest Mayor Pro Tem Adam Nick, according to the Sheriff’s Department, and in the car were 10 campaign signs belonging to Scott Voigts, a fellow councilman seeking re-election, according to the OC Register.
Calling the incident, at 2 a.m. Thursday, a misunderstanding, Nick said Friday he had taken Voigts’ signs to move them to a better location, though he had not asked his permission to do so. “They’re making something out of nothing,” Nick said. Continue reading
U.S. Representative Linda Sanchez doesn’t have much to worry about in November, over in the 38th Congressional District. She easily outpaced her two Republican opponents, Jorge Robles and Ben Campos, in this week’s Open Primary Election. Campos is currently leading Robles by 532 votes, according to the California Secretary of State, for the right to face off against Sanchez in the fall.
Can Campos beat Sanchez? Well, she has over 28,000 votes right now – and Campos and Robles together have under 23,000 votes. Those are long odds for Campos.
Meanwhile, in Orange County, the other Congressional Sanchez, Loretta, has over 24,000 votes, in the 46th Congressional District, and she did not campaign at all – no signs, no mailers, and no robo calls. Continue reading
California’s elected officials and political candidates are trying to figure out how to campaign in the new Open Primary Election that is set for June 5. Here in Orange County, one of our longtime U.S. Representatives, Loretta Sanchez, apparently decided to skip the primary election altogether.
You won’t find any Sanchez signs and I have seen no mailers and have not received any phone calls from her campaign. But her opponents are all running hard. Continue reading

Local Businessman Pat Garcia Launches Campaign for California’s 46th Congressional District
ORANGE COUNTY, CA – Today, local businessman Pat Garcia formally announced his candidacy in the 2012 race for California’s 46th Congressional District, which after redistricting will principally include the Cities of Santa Ana, Anaheim and Orange. Continue reading
Congressman Dana Rohrabacher currently represents California’s 46th Congressional District. The District stretches along the Pacific coastline of Orange County and Los Angeles – and includes part of Southwest Santa Ana.
Rohrabacher is known for his crazed rants and his early support for the Taliban, back when they were called the Mujaheddin and they were fighting the Soviets. He is also famed for his anti-Mexican and anti-immigrant views.
For example, in 2010, Rohrabacher visited Catalina Island, as reported in the Orange Juice blog, where he harassed the Mexican Consult who was involved in preparing legal matricula consular I.D. cards for Mexican citizens.
The good news is that California Redistricting Commission’s new map of the 46th has shifted the lines considerably such that Rohrabacher will no longer represent any part of Santa Ana. Santa Ana will now be wholly in the 47th Congressional District, which is represented by Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez.

The bad news for Rohrabacher is that his district will now be shoved into fellow Republican John Campbell’s District. The new District will include parts of the Cities of Irvine, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Seal Beach and Huntington Beach. Campbell will have a distinct advantage over Rohrabacher in the new District. We can but hope that Campbell, who is more moderate than Rohrabacher, will finally retire the hateful Rohrabacher once and for all!
