MOORLACH UPDATE — Jack Wu — July 13, 2015

By State Senator John Moorlach

One of the final appointments I made as a County Supervisor was filling the Housing and Community Development Commission vacancy with Jack Wu. He responded to an invitation to apply for the position in my UPDATE of December 2, 2014 (see MOORLACH UPDATE — Growing Up In OC — December 2, 2014 December 2, 2014 John Moorlach — P.S. The featured article would win a journalistic award).

I had endorsed Michelle Steel’s opponent, former Costa Mesa Mayor and former State Assemblyman Allan Mansoor. It was a tough choice and one you hope, as an elected official, you never have to make. But I had known Allan longer. Michelle has been a very gracious winner, and I had the opportunity to appoint Jack Wu, in part because he was a rather outspoken supporter of hers over Assemblyman Mansoor. Wu seemed qualified and had strong support, and he would certainly be a trusted collaborator with Supervisor Steel.

The 2014 OC General Election was a disaster for most liberals – particularly in the City of Huntington Beach where City Council incumbents Joe Shaw and Connie Boardman got the boot.

Two of the City Council candidates we endorsed, Mike Posey and Erik Peterson won, in addition to two more Council newcomers, Barbara Delgleize and William “Billy” O’Connell. Continue reading→

SD2: Mansoor Hammers Steel on 405 Tolling

Posted on October 29, 2014 by John Fields Posted in 2014 Elections, Allan Mansoor, Michelle Steel, SD2 3 Comments

In the mail and on Facebook today:

We’d previously questioned Michelle Steel’s position on the toll lanes as she’d had nothing to say about this Caltrans atrocity and misuse of OCTA Measure M funds which were NEVER committed for toll applications, but just for widening of the freeway. SD2 Candidate Allan Mansoor has opposed tolling from day one, and has taken strong, positive action to send the message to an OCTA Board majority that doesn’t live in SD2 (like Michelle?) and favors them.

Maybe the problem with the CA-GOP is Shawn Steel, not race?

Commentary: We don’t need partisan rhetoric or people feigning dedication to O.C.

By Allan Mansoor

Former state Republican Party Chairman Shawn Steel, husband of supervisorial candidate Michelle Steel, recently wrote a commentary for the Orange County Register about the California Republican Party titled, “Not your granddaddy’s California GOP.”

In it he decried that we have “watched our voter registration numbers dwindle with the state’s changing demographics.” That may be part of the problem, but it is certainly not the majority of the problem. I hear from people of all backgrounds, and they want leadership based on the issues, not on race or how someone looks. Continue reading→
