Orange County Young Democrats Overwhelmingly Vote to Endorse Loretta Sanchez for U.S Senate

Young Voters Say She is the Best Qualified Candidate to Represent California in the Senate

February 11, 2016 – Last night, after a landslide vote, the Orange County Young Democrats chose to endorse Loretta Sanchez’s candidacy to replace retiring Barbara Boxer in the United States Senate, citing her 20 years of exemplary service for the region during her tenure in Congress.

“I am overjoyed that the young people of our County endorsed Congresswoman Sanchez to replace Barbara Boxer for Senate. She has been my representative to Washington for the vast majority of my life, and in that time, she has provided our district with exemplary service,” said OCYD President, Jesse Ben-Ron. “I have the utmost confidence that she will serve the state as well as she served the district I lived in,” he continued. “OCYD thanks her for her two decades of service to this community, and as a former constituent, so do I.” Continue reading→

Who should Democrats and Independents vote for in the 37th Senate District election?

Posted on February 8, 2015 by Editor Posted in 2015 Elections, Democratic Party, Don Wagner, Independent Voters, John Moorlach, Naz Namazi, Orange County 5 Comments

The Orange County Democrats are not running a candidate in the March 17, 2015 37th State Senate District Special Election. Nor are any of the third parties.

There are three Republicans in the race – termed out O.C. Supervisor John Moorlach, Assemblyman Don Wagner and filmmaker/Realtor Naz Namazi.

Namazi is not running a campaign although she will be on the ballot. She has no campaign website and not even a campaign Facebook page. She has in the past been a campaign worker for U.S. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, who has not yet endorsed a candidate in this race. I suspect she filed in order to dissuade a Democrat from filing. Continue reading→

The Democrats have only themselves to blame for their losses in Orange County

Posted on February 4, 2015 by Editor Posted in 2012 Elections, 2014 Elections, 2015 Elections, Andrew Do, Democratic Party, Janet Nguyen, Lou Correa, Orange County, Santa Ana 1 Comment

Orange County’s self-appointed Latino leaders are blaming the 2011 redistricting (that added more Vietnamese voters to the First Supervisorial District while removing Latino voters) for Lou Correa’s loss to Andrew Do in the January 27 First District Special Election, according to the O.C. Register.

The truth is that the Democratic Party of Orange County’s bizarre decision to give then Supervisor Janet Nguyen a free pass in 2012 has now cost the Democrats not only the First District but also the 34th State Senate District, which Nguyen won in last year’s General Election. And the Democrats might also lose the 46th Congressional District in 2016 if Nguyen comes gunning for the incumbent, U.S. Rep. Loretta Sanchez. Continue reading→

The West OC Democrats want you to trade in your underwear at their Holiday Party

Posted on November 25, 2014 by Editor Posted in 2014 Elections, Democratic Party, Fountain Valley, Orange County Leave a comment

Pity the poor Orange County Democrats. They lost two local legislative seats in the November General Election – and the liberal Democrats in Huntington Beach and in Irvine got the boot as well. But the Democratic Club of West Orange County is moving forward with a holiday dinner on Sunday, December 7, 2014, at 5 pm, at the Claim Jumper Restaurant Banquet Room, at 18050 Brookhurst Street, in Fountain Valley.

And get this – their keynote speaker will be Jose Solorio – who just got his head handed to him by Janet Nguyen in the race for the 34th State Senate District. Solorio is apparently going to talk about “lessons learned in 2014.” I think the lesson he learned was not to hire Sacramento consultant Richie Ross again! Continue reading→
