Fullerton residents are in shock today as they deal with the fact that Assemblyman Chris Norby now needs a job, having lost to Fullerton Mayor Sharon Quirk-Silva. She ran an aggressive campaign and made heavy use of social media. Norby, on the other hand, seemed to be trying to coast to victory.
While Quirk-Silva’s victory is a great one for Orange County’s Latino voters, I am saddened to see that the 69th Assembly District is now represented by Tom Daly. There is no way he will win re-election in two years, but for now we are stuck with him.
Here is a rundown of how the County’s other Latino candidates fared in the Nov. 6 general election:

Congratulations to all Latino candidates! Our coummunity is coming together in a beautiful way and it shows in the election results. Let's support more Latino candidates in two years and continue this exciting movement which cannot be stopped. Felicidades!
Art, How about a post with updates on the Rancho Alvarez vs Mclauphlin race. Is it over or are they still counting votes? I checked yesterday and it seems to be getting closer. What's up with that one? Recount? You go girl!
@Falcon 89 - does it really matter if the candidate is Latino, African American or whatever? Pushing for the best qualified candidate should be your goal to "continue this exciting movement." Your comments border on racism and if an Anglo made a similar comment about "white" candidates he or she would be chastised unmercifully. Are you saying you would support ilk like Florida Sen. Marco Rubio because just because he's a Latino?
What if the best qualified candidate is a Latino? Would you support him?
Romney might have picked up more votes with Rubio instead of Ryan.
I am very excited that Cecilia "Ceci" Iglesias is one of the top vote getters in the SAUSD race. This goes to tell you that you don't need all the money. You need determination to win. I know for a fact that Ceci walked day and night and had volunteers helping her reach out to the voters. She had no mailers like the other 4 candidates but She reached out to the voters face to face.
I believe that Cecilia and Angelica's story is pretty much the same. They both focused on the Voters (face to face) and they were determined and both won.
Congratulations to Angelica Amezcua.
Thank you Art for finally accepting Ceci and clarifying the rumors that were said about her.
Most importantly, thank God and to all the VOTERS that voted for her. Thank you for believing in her.
I can't wait until the swearing in ceremony. We hope to see you all there.
"I believe that Cecilia and Angelica’s story is pretty much the same."
The only truth in above comments. I'll let other readers connect the dots as to why.
