WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Representative Loretta Sanchez (CA-46) today voted against H.R. 5, dubbed the “Letting Students Down Act,” a bill that undermines the foundations of America’s education system. (Editor’s Note: this bill is actually called the Student Success Act).

Former State Senator John Lewis has such a hold on the Republican Party of Orange County that he was able to force the withdrawal of Robert Hammond, their candidate for the 69th Assembly District, so as to pave the way for his Democratic pal Tom Daly. And Lewis also ran the failed campaign of Chris Norby, for the 65th Assembly District. With the loss of Norby’s seat, and the 69th, the California Republican Party ceded a supermajority in the State Assembly to the California Democratic Party.
But Lewis is not the only one to blame. OC GOP Chairman Scott Baugh (a political consultant) and OC Supervisor Janet Nguyen were personally involved in pulling Hammond out of the race for the 69th. And neither of them helped Jose “Joe” Moreno, the Anaheim Republican who, at the last minute, filed for the 69th rather than concede the victory to Daly. Moreno was however undone by allegations that he violated an obscure Federal law – the Hatch Act. Moreno, an employee of the O.C. Health Agency, was accused of this by labor, even though he is a longtime union member. Continue reading
Two winners – U.S. Rep. Loretta Sanchez and Pres. Barack Obama
Fullerton residents are in shock today as they deal with the fact that Assemblyman Chris Norby now needs a job, having lost to Fullerton Mayor Sharon Quirk-Silva. She ran an aggressive campaign and made heavy use of social media. Norby, on the other hand, seemed to be trying to coast to victory.
While Quirk-Silva’s victory is a great one for Orange County’s Latino voters, I am saddened to see that the 69th Assembly District is now represented by Tom Daly. There is no way he will win re-election in two years, but for now we are stuck with him.
Here is a rundown of how the County’s other Latino candidates fared in the Nov. 6 general election: Continue reading

Overheard: “Is this guy the Colonel from KFC?”
One of the funniest campaign mailers I have ever seen arrived in my mail box today, from Mark McLoughlin, a Rancho Santiago Community College District Trustee who is running for re-election in Area 3. He went full raza!
The flier is in Spanish and it erroneously states that McLoughlin is an educator. no he isn’t! His opponent, Dave Chapel, actually is an educator. McLoughlin is just a suit with zero experience as an educator. Continue reading
