Santa Ana Election Results – Amezcua loses badly

The O.C. Voter Registrar has just about processed all the votes.  Here are a few of the more interesting results:

  • Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez beat Van Tran, by 8 points.  The votes are still being counted, but it is over for the Trannies.
  • No problem for State Senator Lou Correa.  He easily beat Lucille Kring.
  • Same goes for Assemblyman Jose Solorio, who wiped the floor with Robert Hammond.
  • In Santa Ana, it is over for Alfredo Amezcua and his unhinged coalition.  Mayor Miguel Pulido won with almost half the vote.  Amezcua only got 25% of the vote – he spent perhaps 200K for just over 6,000 votes.  Ouch!
  • The other Santa Ana mayoral candidates are far behind, but Charles Hart edged out George Collins.  Who cares though.  They really weren’t a factor in this race.
  • Sal Tinajero won in Ward 6, with close to 52% of the vote.  Nam Pham got 26% of the vote.  Helen Martinez didn’t matter in this race.
  • And in case you are wondering, in the SAUSD school board race John Palacio won and Audrey Yamagata-Noji is behind him.  Turnout was low.  But I spent less than a thousand and got over six thousand votes.  Let’s just say I spent a lot less per vote than Amezcua did for his 6,000 votes!  Thanks to all that supported me and voted for me.  I will run again in two years – and this time we will start early and run a major campaign.  And I will continue to run my www.fixthesausd.com blog in the interim.
