We don’t necessarily support Mrs. Steel, or anyone else at this time for any elected position — but knowing who are members of Host Committees, or Co-Chairs or Special Guests is always an indication of a candidate’s depth of support, positioning in the Party and forthcoming endorsements. Who’s not on these lists is important as well, and even the dollar amount requested as a contribution can be telling. Continue reading→

Supervisorial candidate Allan Mansoor

Ex-Costa Mesa mayor and current California State Assemblyman Allan Mansoor might challenge Michelle Steel, an elected member of the State Board of Equalization, for a soon-to-be open seat on the Orange County Board of Supervisors, according to the OC Weekly.

Mansoor fought a tough campaign last year to win his seat in the State Assembly, against Newport Beach Councilwoman Leslie Daigle. He can stay in the State Assembly for up to twelve years, so why would he want to leave? Continue reading→

I received an anonymous package in the mail on Friday, from someone in Sacramento. The envelope contained two articles about State Board of Equalization member Michelle Steel’s Chief of Staff, Joel Angeles. Apparently he was charged with assault back in 2009, but he ultimately was acquitted of all the charges. A candidate for the Ventura County Community College District’s Board of Trustees also charged Angeles with offering him a bribe, but that 2002 story went nowhere too.

However, the fellow who sent me the articles was trying to make the point that Steel’s campaign for Orange County Supervisor John Moorlach’s seat, when he terms out in 2014, will somehow be doomed because of Angeles’ shenanigans. I don’t buy it. Continue reading→
