Now that the Republicans are in control of the City of Irvine’s Council, it is time to go after the turncoat Republicans who supported ousted Irvine Mayor Larry Agran.
“Incredibly, District Attorney Tony Rackauckas produced a last-minute robocall for Agran’s frantic re-election campaign,” according to R. Scott Moxley, over at the OC Weekly.
But wait – there are a few more Republican traitors: Continue reading
Travis Allen has stunned his opponent, Los Alamitos Mayor Troy Edgar, polling 5.9% ahead in this closely contested race. The contest is one of the most competitive in Orange County. Continue reading
Update: The OC Weekly’s Scott Moxley has uncovered evidence that Irvine mayoral candidate Larry Agran paid off a previous fake Republican candidate, Earle Zucht, in 2004. So how will Agran pay back this year’s decoy GOP candidate, Katherine Daigle? Read about that here.
Orange County’s best investigative reporter, the OC Weekly’s R. Scott Moxley, has done it again. This time he has exposed Irvine mayoral candidate Katherine Daigle for what she is – a Larry Agran plant meant to split the GOP vote so Councilman Steven Choi will lose.
Here are a few excerpts from Moxley’s groundbreaking post, which also reveals GOP consultant Adam Probolsky as yet another paid Agran shill (Probolsky responded on his Facebook page with this comment: “Crap publication @ocweekly blog post on #Irvine politics mentions me, has 12% facts/truth and 88% made up/fake news.” You wish Adam – you’re now exposed!): Continue reading
You have to love Gustavo Arellano’s hyperbole. He reported this week that “I about spit out my Maker’s this evening when word came to me that SanTana councilwoman and 69th Assembly District hopeful Michele Martinez appeared on a Vietnamese-language channel here in Little Saigon, getting softball questions tossed at her by none other than former State Assembly member Van Thai Tran. Tran, the man who has long trashed Mexicans and tried to pit Vietnamese and Mexican voters against each other in a strategy only neo-Nazis and the Republican Party could love. Tran, the sworn enemy of Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez.”
Since when is Gustavo a Sanchez acolyte? She is the biggest phony ever. She was a Republican for most of her life before she switched to the Democratic Party, only after she got blown out in a race for the Anaheim City Council. Sanchez not only switched parties, she also dropped her married name, which at the time was “Brixey,” and rediscovered her Latina surname, “Sanchez.” Continue reading
Two candidates have filed with the Irvine City Clerk for the 2012 Irvine City Council election. They could not be more different from each other. One of them, Evan Chemers, is a Republican and a business owner. The other, Gavin Huntley-Fenner, claims to be an independent – but closer scrutiny makes that sound like a load of B.S.
Huntley-Fenner serves on the Irvine Unified School District’s Board of Education. He ran in 2006, garnering 30.9% of the vote – good enough to win. He won again in 2010, with 37.8% of the vote. He was endorsed in both elections by the Irvine teachers’ union. He was also endorsed in 2010 by the Orange County Young Democrats.
Republican consultant Adam Probolosky interviewed Huntley-Fenner in 2010, and check out what he admitted to: Continue reading
