Leading Assembly candidate Michele Martinez lands big endorsements

While the Disney Company, through the SOAR PAC, has been propping up Tom Daly’s lame campaign for the 69th Assembly District, he is being outworked by his leading opponent – Santa Ana Councilwoman Michele Martinez.  Just look at the endorsements she has racked up thus far:

  • Assemblyman Ben Hueso
  • Assemblyman Roger Hernandez
  • Assemblyman Ricardo Lara
  • Assemblyman Henry Perea
  • Assemblyman Jose Solorio
  • Ret. Senator Martha Escuita
  • Ret. Assemblywoman Cindy Montanez
  • Ret. Assemblyman Alberto Torrico
  • Santa Ana, Mayor Miguel Pulido
  • Santa Ana, Councilmember David Benavides
  • Santa Ana, Councilmember Sal Tinajero
  • Santa Ana, Councilmember, Vince Sarmiento
  • Garden Grove, Councilmember, Dina Nguyen
  • Garden Grove, Former Councilmember, Mark Rosen
  • Brea, Councilmember, Ron Garcia
  • Lake Forest, Councilmember, Kathryn McCullough
  • San Juan Capistrano, Councilmember, Laura Freese
  • Montebello School Board, Gerri Guzman
  • Cudahy, Mayor Josue Barrios
  • El Monte, Councilmember, Joseph Gonzalez
  • Bell Gardens, Sergio Infanzon
  • Southgate, Jorge Morales
  • Hawthorne, Mayor Protem, Alex Vargas
  • Hawthorne, School Board, John Vargas
  • Santa Ana, Planning Commissioner, Eric Adelrete
  • Santa Ana, Planning Commissioner, Patrick Correa
  • Santa Ana, Planning Commissioner, Sean Mill
  • Santa Ana, Housing and Redevelopment Commissioner, Lynnette Verino
  • Santa Ana, Housing and Redevelopment Commissioner, Monica Garcia
  • Santa Ana, Parks and Recreation Commissioner, Ken Nguyen
  • Santa Ana, Parks and Recreation Commissioner, Max Madrid
  • Santa Ana, Youth Chair Commissioner, Jonathan Espinoza
  • Santa Ana, Environmental and Transportation Commissioner, Don Cribb
  • Santa Ana, Environmental and Transportation Commissioner, Kim Olson
  • HOPE, PAC
  • (Partial Listing)
Impressive!  And I hear she has a good shot at landing the endorsement of the California Assembly Latino Caucus.
Martinez notes on her website that “the newly reapportioned Assembly district is extremely diverse- it has a population that is 78.3% Latino, 9.7% Asian and 1.5% African American (2010 Census). ”  All the more reason to elect Martinez, not Daly.

What about the other Democratic candidate?  Well, Julio Perez continues to be unknown in the district and the Disney Company took away his biggest campaign issue when they settled their contract with their hotel workers.  Game over for Perez!

  • Tom Gordon emphatically tells me he's not Dan C's anonymous troll, and I believe him. It must be some f--ing scumbag who sits at the end of the bar at Drinking Liberally. Whatever...

  • Ok guys, sorry I asked some questions. It seems my comments were the fuel that set another fire.
    These differences, as I can see them, are personal and not political.

    This is a shame.

    Believe it or not Stan, I have missed you. I hope you are doing well!

    Take care every one.

    • No my friend, they are political. For whatever reason the Lib OC has allied with some of the biggest Mexican bashers in Santa Ana - mostly Republicans.

      I don't know what to make of Vern and the OJ. For some reason I am the enemy. As I said before, I am still fighting for the same things I have always fought for. Vern doesn't get it. And now his writer Diamond has me in his sights, the same as the Lib OC.

      You are lucky you got the heck out of here. It is a mess.

  • "Believe it or not Stan, I have missed you. I hope you are doing well!"...... Hmmmmm

    Old Bohemian cliché: ´´odříkaného chleba největší krajíc´´

    Freely translated: We like what we rejecting.

    Ja, I am doing just a OK, keeping bolsheviks at line here.

  • I MADE THE HATE LIST! YEAH!

    I'll use this opportunity to ask Mr. Chmielwinski,why is OK to call Sal Tinejero FAT but, not Beth Krom?

    It is the hypocrisy that kills me and some people exude self serving phonyness.

  • You're paranoid, Art. Neither Greg nor I have you in our sights or think of you as an enemy. There's another gang that does though.

    Wait ... how did this argument start? It's all good, Luis, don't stress. Best to your girl.

  • Popping back in just to say: how many times have I mentioned Art in OJB versus my mentioning him? Where we've disagreed, I've generally come here and had it out with him on on his turf, where he (still) moderates my comments. But he's shrieking about my having him in his sights? I think that I just have thicker skin than he does.

    OK, popping back out again, since I realize that this is useless. "It's Chinatown, Vern."
