In an unbelievable turn of events former state legislator Joe Dunn’s campaign for the 46th Congressional District apparently either forgot to file a ballot statement or could not afford to do so, according to the Liberal OC Blog.

This is an stunning error on the part of Dunn’s campaign.

I had a chance to meet with Irvine Mayor Pro Tem Lynn Schott a couple weeks ago. She is running for the 46th Congressional District, which is being vacated by U.S. Rep. Loretta Sanchez, who is running for the U.S. Senate.

Schott, a Republican, grew up in Santa Ana, where her father was a barber with a shop in downtown Santa Ana. Her mom still lives in Santa Ana. And Schott got her education in Santa Ana while also getting her first job, at a travel agency in downtown Santa Ana. Continue reading→

Days after Anaheim Councilman Jordan Brandman betrayed his fellow Democrats and Anaheim’s Latino residents by abandoning the effort to develop City Council districts in his city he has dropped his campaign for the 46th Congressional District, according to the O.C. Register.

Brandman was recently reprimanded by the Democratic Party of Orange County when he joined in a 3-2 November Anaheim City Council vote to put the district with a majority of voting age Latino citizens on the ballot in 2018 instead of 2016.

Brandman was one of several Democrats vying to replace U.S. Rep. Loretta Sanchez, who is running for the U.S. Senate and is vacating her House seat. Continue reading→
