Karina Onofre didn’t win when she ran for the Santa Ana City Council last year, but while her opponent at the time, Roman Reyna, is now struggling with a massive city budget deficit and is being questioned about what he did as a member of the SAUSD’s School Board, which is also having deficit problems, Onofre is busy building a grassroots organization based in educating the local community.
Onofre has been hosting seminars at her office, in Santa Ana, on subjects including immigration and jobs and is now planning to host another seminar on the subject of education, on Wednesday, June 12, at 7pm, at 726 S. Main St., in Santa Ana. There is a good chance that State Senator Bob Huff will be their guest speaker. He is the leader of the California Republican Party’s State Senate delegation.
In case you’re wondering how her last seminar went, in May, she had over 70 people in attendance to listen to:
Others who were at the May seminar include Arturo Garcia, Senate Republican Leader Bob Huff’s District Representative, Christine Bronstein and Dr. Ron Smith representing the Lincoln Club, John Warner and Bill Dunlap representing the OCGOP, and also Manny Padilla with the Lincoln Club. Onofre was also grateful that Teresa Hernandez, with the Lincoln Club, was able to provide a generous stipend to use for food/drinks.
Onofre tells me that her seminars are becoming a bridge between the resources out there and our community. People are realizing that her seminars are biweekly, valuable, and at the same time, same location – and Onofre provides pizza and drinks to the attendees.

Roman Reyna should attend one of Karina's seminars.
He'll be out of a job at the end of the month, when his temporary "truant officer" job with the county expires. I believe he tried to hook up with the alternative school on Grand, run by the OCDE, and they wanted NO PART of him. This place is full of the real droolers, the ones tat couldn't even make it in the alternative schools. According to reports teachers there refused to work with him, "he barely has more education then they do, said one guy.
So Roman needs to get serious about what he thinks he can do for the city with little more than a high school diploma and a resume which highlights being a YMCA volunteer and a Neighborhood association founder (just look at the neighborhood!).
It's unlikely he can leverage people like Michele did with her phony Alliance for Health scam.
These atwo are worse then public employee union hacks. In comparison, the clerks at the OCHCA look like the model of efficiency.
