UPDATE: Perez was interviewed at his alleged home by O.C. Register reporter Andrew Galvin, who reported that Perez magically knew what sort of toothpaste was in his restroom and what sort of soda was in his refrigerator. Perez however did NOT provide any solid evidence that he has been living at the home in question – no driver’s license and no utility bills. His residence remains in doubt.

Remember when Democrat Phu Nguyen ran for the 68th Assembly District, in 2010, and there was a scandal as to whether or not he was a carpetbagger? That may have ultimately cost him that election. Now he is running around promoting his fellow liberal, Julio Perez, who is running for the 69th Assembly District. And guess what? It looks like Perez might be an even bigger carpetbagger!
The O.C. Register is reporting that a process server who tried to serve Perez with documents stemming from a lawsuit by a company trying to recover credit card debt from Perez was unable to find him at the address he is registered to vote at. Instead a woman named Yolanda Estrada told the process server that she lives at the address in question.
Perez later said that he does live there and that she may have been a previous tenant. Unless she is a ghost, I can’t see how she was there previously when the process server said she lives there now.

UPDATE: Perez now says he does live at the address in question, according to the Voice of OC, which is funded by organized labor. No proof of that was presented in the Voice of OC article, and they didn’t explain why no one in his neighborhood knows him. They did admit that he has barely lived in the district, if at all:
Perez grew up in Anaheim and lived a block from the 69th State Assembly District lines for most of his life. In 2000, he moved to San Juan Capistrano after his parents bought a manufactured home there.
In 2001, he moved to Michigan after being accepted into the University of Michigan’s master’s degree program for public policy. Two years later, he came back to Orange County and has lived in Anaheim, Cypress, Westminster and Santa Ana during the last few years.

The residency requirements are far to loose and should be tighten up
I have a question for the moderator at the debate:
"Donde Vives"?
Make him Lie.
I take him at his word on this just as I did Mayor Pulido, Councilmember Alvarez, and almost every Hispanic elected official in and around Santa Ana over the years. They all have had people say they don't live where they live. You know they are hurting for campaign issues when the only thing bad they can say about you is that you don't live where you say you live! This is inside political baseball that doesn't mean a thing to voters! Let's get back to talking about economic issues like a living wage, creating jobs, and medical care. This other stuff makes fun cocktail party conversation and blog posts but has no impact on the lives of the working class residents of the 69th!
You could not be more wrong. Perez is NOT from Santa Ana. He is from Anaheim. And Lord knows where the heck he lives now. Michele was born and raised here and I know that she will strongly represent the people of our city. Who will Perez represent? Rich labor bosses? No thanks.
Who is Michele going to represent? Casino's? oh thats right we never talk about that here.
She ignores the people of Santa Ana as she did when she voted against SACReD.
SACReD? Oh I was there. I quit when the Usual Suspects showed up and took over. They were all there - a pile of Mexican haters. Where is SACReD now? Dead. Just like Amezcua's lame mayoral campaign.
For the record I support legalizing gambling and taxing it.
SACReD the community group is getting stronger. Just got an endorsement from SABHC tonight. Those meeting of SACRed are open to everybody and working families of SA are still pushing for a better SA.
Apparently Michele is happily supporting casino's as well.
So the Usual Suspects were pushing for a better SA? Really? Strange bedfellows. These are the SAME PEOPLE who put up illegal traffic barricades in French Park, which thanks the ACLU were taken down.
You OK with that are you?
Please come to a SACReD meeting then you can say all you want about it. Otherwise, you are very ignorant of who composes of the group.
they meet at Latino Health Access btw. I'll get you dates and times.
What I'm not ok with is Michelle talking to Indian Casinos about Independent Expenditures. Atleast that is what a highly respected reported said.
Are you kidding? The Native Americans were subjected to genocide. They were horribly repressed in this country. Now you want to deny them their only source of income? Income that is used to educate their children? Really?
ha ha...you are too funny. I'm all for Native Americans getting paid.
I am against Michelle doing allegedly illegal moves by talking to Casino's on what is suppose to be Independent Expenditures...thats against the law. She apparently got caught by a respected journalist while on the phone.
In summary:
Go Native Americans. Yay!
Boooo Michelle. Keep it clean and legal.
Shouldn't Julio keep it legal too? Carpetbagging is illegal in Assembly races...
He lives on Baker st in SA. Has been there for a while.
Obviously you didn't read my post. A process server visited his residence and the lady who answered had no idea who Julio is. Nor did any of his neighbors. Then again, none of the voters know who Wholio is either...
No he lives on Baker in SA.
Y Michelle got caught talking about IE's, which is completely illegal.
Again, the evidence is mounting that he lied about where he lives.
It is not illegal to talk about IEs. It is illegal to coordinate them. That she knew about them was nite illegal. If she was managing them that would have been a problem. But she didn't. And they never happened. But Julio DID get caught!
Just because candidates running for central county state elected offices continue to carpetbag in the past doesn't make it right now. A few years ago, it was Tom Umberg who deciding that he prefers a dinky dink apartment in Santa Ana over a Villa PArk Estate. I think the voters saw through this and that's why he did not win.
Here, with Juio we have him not only as a carpetbagger but raises his right hand and signing that what he declared is the truth. Besides, the legal implication what about one honor in affirming the truth.
I know how the OCDA has little history in reviewing these political issues but why can't we all ask the OC Grand Jury to consider if a law was broken.
Well said Joe! Amen. Julio is supposed to be a man of the people, but he can't be bothered to be honest about where he lives? What a joke!
Reading about all th mud being tossed around and at the canidates for the 69th.
Its looking like Francisco Barrigan is the only CLEAN choice.
What is dirty about Moreno? Nothing. Or about Martinez? She hasn't broken any laws. The only guy looking bad right now is Perez.
Seems like this may turn into another one of those campaigns when our community puts one Latino against another and like the proverbial crabs in the barrel, as one of us tries to make it up and out, another one of our brothers or sisters is there to pull us back down, down, down. Meanwhile, the big white Sea Gulls swoops to victory! It's time for Michele to drop out and throw her support behind Mr. Perez. He's our best and only hope of beating the White/Coconut political machine. Wait until they have debates and poor Michele will embarrass herself. I mean really, have you heard her speak? She might be ok for a lecture to wayward teens in some prison scared straight setting but she is not ready for Prime Time! Just my thoughts. Keeping it real.
Peace Out.
That makes no sense. No one knows who Pérez is, including the lady that lives at his address.
Admin- What evidence is mounting about him lying? Is there more than just the story that has been written? The other articles I have seen certainly present alternative views, so I am curious what the additional evidence that is mounting is composed of? It is possible that the process server was lying. Hopefully, Julio can show proof of him living there. It should be pretty easy to do with a few trips to the mail box and some other documents.
I will throw this out there and then wait to get blasted...how about supporting a candidate b/c they are the right candidate with your own morals, ethics, and political beliefs instead of focusing on their skin color. Perfectly fine to support a candidate who happens to be Latino just as it is fine to support a candidate who happens to be non-Latino as long as their political views and other beliefs that matter are aligned with your own. I feel that there is way too much emphasis by some on the heritage of a candidate and not enough on scrutiny on the beliefs and views. I cannot imagine supporting someone over another candidate because they are of a certain ethnicity. Ok, ready, aim, fire...
Well sure, if you want a socialist, back Perez. If you want a guy who wastes taxpayer money and who has been anti-Latino, vote Daly. If you want to vote for someone who grew up in Santa Ana, and who supports businesses and is fairly moderate, vote for Martinez. If you want to vote for a Republican, then Moreno is your pick.
Really, "evidence is mounting?" Maybe in your own cabbage head, this process server's story is getting bigger and BIGGER, I'll believe that. Way to fall for Jubal/Daly/Register propaganda.
Of course the main story they wanted to get out to the public, knowing that the carpetbagging story would be quickly debunked, was that Julio has some debt. You won't touch THAT though, will you Art? Good, neither would I.
There is a simple answer that the Julio camp wants to avoid (for whatever reason):
SHOW US YOUR DRIVERS LICENSE!
That is not unreasonable considering he is asking to represent us. Greg Diamond will disagree, but he comes up with a clever "non-answer" for everything.
Have the dude show his license.
