  • I know little or nothing about this woman. It appears the Democratic power structure wants her elected. Here Endorsers include:

    ◾House Democratic Minority Speaker Nancy Pelosi
    ◾California 46st District Congresswoman, Loretta Sanchez
    ◾Santa Ana Pro-Tem Mayor, Sal Tinajero
    ◾Councilmember, Angelica Amezcua
    ◾Santa Ana College Trustee, Nelida Yanes
    ◾Los Alamitos Mayor, Gerri Graham-Mejia
    ◾Stanton Mayor Pro-Tem Alexandor A. Ethans
    ◾Dana Point Pro-Tem Mayor, Steven Weisnberg
    ◾San Clemente Former Mayor, Jim Dahl
    ◾Brea Councilmember, Roy Moore
    ◾San Juan Capistrano Councilmember, John Taylor
    ◾La Habra Councilmember, James Gomez
    ◾Laguna Woods Councilmember, Lynne Dvorak,
    ◾Cypress, Councilmember, Doug Bailey
    ◾Buena Park OCVC, Michae Daies
    ◾Lake Forest Former Pro-tem Marcia Rudolph
    ◾Garden Grove OCVC Robin Macario (Teacher)

    Yet, as I read her website biography it appears to be written by a eighth grader with poor grammar skills. I CAN'T BELEIVE that you could get the endorsement of a former Speaker Of the House Of Representatives, but can not properly identify the University Of California. An institution from which her daughter graduated.

    This portion of her website is SO poorly written, I feel like we are back to electing Roman Reyna. Please those that know her please ask someone from Loretta's office or her CAL graduate daughter She looks well qualified, but if she can not string together three sentences she has no business replacing Rob Richardson.......OK, That's a stretch. My blind Dog could do better than RR.

    Cecilia: " You should be better than this. Your presentation is embarrassing" Ask Vince to help before the fundraiser. His parents sent him to Tustin schools (maybe this is why), he should be able to improve this.

    LEAD BY EXAMPLE.

    • Oh don't be cruel amigo. She is an immigrant and learned English after spending several years speaking Spanish only. My mom never lost her accent either!

      But Cecilia is no Reyna. That guy is in it for himself while she and her family are set. She is running because that is where her heart is taking her.

      And truth be told she is a moderate despite her liberal endorsers.

  • I wasn't trying to be cruel. Just honest. I sent her an EMAIL with re-written copy. I get the language thing. But you can't run a school system by example with this kind of skills.

    For the record, she would go a long way to broaden her appeal by keeping things simple and well written. As for the accent, I have never heard her speak. My wife speaksith a thick accent as well, which causes her greif occasionally, but, she can properly communicate.

    Don't confuse my comments as anything other than astonishment. She looks well qualified.

    • You're a good man! I'm sure she appreciates your help. I know I rather vote for her than the dreadful Valerie Amezcua.
