ANAHEIM MOURNS THE LOSS OF A GREAT PROTECTOR

Remembering Thomas “Hoagy” Holguin

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA – August 14, 2015 – More than 200 friends, family members, dignitaries, and Anaheim residents attended Sai nt Anthony Claret Catholic Church to pay respects to former Anaheim Union High School District Trustee (AUHSD), Thomas “Hoagy” Holguin.

An Anaheim resident and business owner of 35 years, Hoagy faithfully served his community for the majority of his time as a resident starting as a commissioner with the Anaheim Redevelopment and Housing Commission. He then went on to serve as Executive Board Member for the Anaheim Boys & Girls Club, Chair of the Anaheim Community Development Block Grant, Executive Board Member of the Anaheim Prep Sports/Activities Foundation, past President of the Anaheim Police Officer Honorary Association, and coinciding as a Trustee for AUHSD served as President for the North Orange County Regional Occupational Program Board of Trustees.

Jordan Brandman has won a seat on the Anaheim City Council and now his colleagues on the Anaheim Union High School District’s Board of Education must decide whether to appoint someone to replace him or to hold a Special Election to fill his seat.

The last time the AUHSD School Board replaced a Trustee was this year when Trustee Jan Harp-Domene passed away suddenly earlier this year. The Board replaced her with Annmarie Randle-Trejo who went on to win a permanent place on the AUHSD School Board in this year’s general election, according to Smart Voter. 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→

The ACLU of Southern California and Goldstein, Demchak, Baller, Borgen & Dardarian sued the City of Anaheim this week for violating the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA). The ACLU explained the lawsuit on their website:

Through its at-large electoral process, the city has made it nearly impossible for Latinos, who make up more than one third of the electorate, to be fairly represented on the city council. Anaheim city government is comprised of a four member city council and a mayor, but there are currently no Latinos on the city council, and only three Latino individuals have ever been elected to the city council in Anaheim’s history.
