Poll: Who is Santa Ana’s 2012 Woman of the Year?

This was a news-packed year in Santa Ana – and women were a big part of many of our leading stories this year.   Now its time to pick our 2012 Woman of the Year.  Are you ready to vote?  You may vote for up to three candidates!  Please let me know if I overlooked someone who should be added to the poll.  Voting will close on Jan. 8, 2013.

Our nominees include popular politicians and community and education leaders, including Angelica Amezcua, the schoolteacher who came out of nowhere to win a seat on the Santa Ana City Councilp; Claudia Alvarez, who finished her last term as Santa Ana Mayor Pro Tem and promptly got elected to the RSCCD Board of Trustees; Cecilia Iglesias, the newly minted Republican who ended up being the top vote-getter for the SAUSD School Board; and Delilah Snell, the creative mastermind of the Road Less Traveled and the Patchwork Festivals.

Here is our poll – be sure to vote for up to three candidates:

Congratulations to our poll winner – our readers have selected Alicia Rojas as our 2012 Santa Ana Woman of the Year!
