Janet Nguyen holding a fundraiser at a questionable eatery in Costa Mesa

From the OC Politics Blog

Supervisor Janet Nguyen and the Atlas PAC are hosting a 2013 Lunar New Year Celebration Fundraiser, for her campaign for the 34th State Senate District – and she couldn’t even find a venue in her district!  That’s right, she is holding this event at a restaurant located outside of the 34th State Senate District, at ANQI Gourmet Bistro, which is located at South Coast Plaza, at 3333 South Bristol St., in Costa Mesa.  The event is set for February 28, 2013, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.
