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!

  • Curious admin, but if Brea were 85 percent white but of that 85 percent we had Irish, German, Nordic, English, Italians, Spanish, Russians and Polish, would that make Brea diverse? Santa Ana is 85 percent Latino and majority Mexican. You're claim it is diverse is a joke

  • I don't care if the guy is Jewish or Muslim. I think he is an loudmouth "MKIA".

    As for his daughters, I am surprised because ten minutes on Google tells me he is a hypocrite of the WORST kind.

    I don't read daily kos, but maybe that expalains why he has been unnoticed.

    Imagine, all this because I merely said I like Michelle Martinez and tried to explain why. That tells me EVERYTHING about the "mechanic"
    Sounds like the union boys have scared him. That's OK, guys like Greg Diamond move on to the next cause the minute the call comes in.

  • THIS IS A TEST TO SOW HOW ANTI-SEMITIC PEOPLE ARE.
    I WILL SUBSTITUTE White, Hispanic and Mexican WITH, JEW TO SE HOW THAT SOUND.

    Curious admin, but if Brea were 85 percent GENTILE but of that 85 percent we had Irish, German, Nordic, English, Italians, Spanish, Russians and Polish, would that make Brea diverse? Santa Ana is 85 percent JEWS and majority ZIONIST. You’re claim it is diverse is a joke

    So how that sounds Diversity?

  • Listen to Anti-Semite, Admin! Don't answer Diamond, he is tricky! Cower and ignore bad mark to your reputation!

    Also, listen to Anonymous OC Fake Dem! Obviously very trustworthy! Spent ten minutes on Google but no specific claim underlying hypocrisy charge! Don't make her back it up! Proving assertions makes one look weak!

  • I missed the comment by KLIND (who wants me to think that OCDem is named "Katie," nice try, boyo!) asking me to explain why Michelle would be better for OC Supervisor. Simple: in that race she would not be running against a better candidate. I'd support her against Correa, too!

  • If you would do same to Diamod's hate comments about Latinos, Hispanic, Mexicans and substitute for it words like Jew, Jewish and Zaionist then Diamond would sounds like Paul Joseph Goebbels German politician and Reich Minister of Propaganda.

  • "Hate comments about Latinos"? Admin either have Anti-Semite back that up or take the comment down. You will understand how thin the ice beneath him here.

  • Hey Dumbass:

    She signed a post with her NAME!

    Maybe if you would quit yapping and read something.

    Try listening (or reading) sometime Greg!

    ASSHOLE

  • "“Hate comments about Latinos”? Admin either have Anti-Semite back that up or take the comment down. You will understand how thin the ice beneath him here."

    CAVEAT DIAMOND! Stop calling me Ant-Semitic!
