Who are your favorite Santa Ana City Council Members of all time?

John Acosta

My favorite Santa Ana Council Member of all time is John Acosta

When I first came to Santa Ana, I recall that the City Council included Lisa Mills, Tom Lutz, Pat McGuigan, Rob Richardson, Ted Moreno and of course Miguel Pulido. Over the years I have seen others come and go, including Brett Franklin, Lisa Bist, Mike Garcia and Alberta Christy.

In recent years we have seen newcomers arise, including David Benavides, Vince Sarmiento, Michele Martinez, Carlos Bustamante, Sal Tinajero and Claudia Alvarez.

My favorite Council Members would include Franklin, McGuigan, Garcia, Moreno and Martinez. Christy was also one of the nicest Council Members of all time. I don’t really know much about the Council Members who predated this crowd, although my absolute favorite of all time would have to be John Acosta.

Who have been YOUR favorite Council Members over the years? And why? Continue reading→
