I got a tip today that disgraced Santa Ana Council Member Carlos Bustamante has been seen putting up signs for his pal David Benavides’ mayoral campaign, and that Bustamante has Benavides’ signs in his yard.
So I drove over to Bustamante’s house and sure enough, he had two Benavides signs in his lawn! And a pile of Vince Sarmiento signs on his porch to boot.
Bustamante’s apparent endorsement and support of his longtime pal Benavides is a stark reminder of the bullet we dodged when Bustamante got arrested after being charged with numerous felony sex crimes and public theft. If that had not happened, it was likely that Bustamante and Benavides were planning on teaming up with their friend Roman Reyna. Imagine the trouble those three were going to get into at political conferences and community events?
This comes on the heels of the endorsement of Benavides by perverted Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom, who in 2007 slept with his campaign manager’s drug-addled wife! And I am told that meth addict Nadia Maria Davis is also supporting Benavides.
It is very clear that if you want a world class Mayor then we need to re-elect Miguel Pulido, however if you want a Mayor without class, Benavides is your guy…
Good luck getting women to vote for you now Benavides – and the same goes for your pal Reyna too!

Mr. Pedroza,
I'm been in Santa Ana long enough to go through various City Council elections and I've been shocked at how lazy Benavides and his slate are. Is it because they believe the Unions will carry their water? They just don't seem to have that "fire in the belly" that Mayor Pulido has.
You're right. It has been a wholly lackluster effort. It also appears that most of the Benavides slate is running as far away from him as possible...
Maybe you just haven't been at the places where the Benavides campaign has been active. From my vantage point it's been the opposite. I haven't really seen much movement from Pulido, but I see Benavides putting in work.
Maybe it's too much "fire water" in the belly.
Dear Mr. Pedroza,
Why don't you invite your readers to make predictions on the Santa Ana races, especially school board and Congress etc. I'd be very interested in hearing what Mr. Lomelei and other readers think will happen tomorrow. I only ask that you be respectful of their predictions because I like Dr. Lomelei and think that sometimes he is not getting the respect he deserves here. I know you don't control your other readers but I do hope we can all get along. Also, what are your predictions for each race with place and % of votes each candidate will get? LOVE your site.
