Solorio didn’t turn his back on them – they’re GOP hacks and Jannies!

Have you seen the Solorio Turned his Back on Us billboard?  You know the one with that fellow with a heavy beard?  Well it turns out the entire campaign is a complete fraud.  The people featured on the Solorio Turned his Back on Us campaign are all part of an extended family – of a young lady named Maribel Marroquin.  And she is the Latino Engagement Coordinator at the Lincoln Club of Orange County, a conservative business organization that generally supports Republicans, not Democrats.

Pictured on the website are:

  • Jose Marroquin, who is Maribel’s dad (the guy in the beard) – he used a different name on the website, Jose Bejar
  • Jazzlyn Lozano is Maribel’s sister in law and the guy next to her is Jose Marroquin, Jr.
  • Loreline Marroquin is Maribel’s sister
  • Dirissy Doan is the Community Affairs Administrator for the Orange County Association of Realtors.  She is heavily involved in OC Republican politics.
  • Alyssa Foster’s Facebook Page says she is a member of the California Republican Assembly.  She is another GOP operative.
  • I could not find ANY information about the fellows named Tuong Ngo, Tam To and Luu Vo or the lady named Diem Pham. Jannies I am sure but really obscure ones – perhaps they are among the 60 unemployed people who have donated campaign contributions to Janet Nguyen?
  • Scott Weimer has been the head of the Garden Grove Business Association for years and he was at Janet Nguyen’s election night party in 2007, according to the LA Times

 It’s a Jannie cookout with Maribel Marroquin!

These are not random residents of the 34th State Senate District that Republican candidate Janet Nguyen and Democratic candidate Jose Solorio are running for.  These are GOP hacks and Jannies and their entire scheme is a fraud.

  • José was a horrible council member. He did nothing for Santa Ana. All he did was angle himself for his next move. Eventually, Jose will have to get a real job and earn a living instead of having his wife entirely support his family. Janet is no better. It's a tough choice between the two.

      • Solorio is not an honest man - not when he promotes himself as a veteran and saying that he supports Prop 13. Jose is a liar.

        • Those are your words not his.

          Don't forget that Janet tried to take over the Black Friday event in Little Saigon a few years ago.

        • Jose has never said that he is a Veteran...He has however been a great advocate for our Veterans.

          Exactly what does Janet support Mike? Oh wait I forgot, she supports the enrichment of her friends, family, campaign donors and especially herself with taxpayer money.

          Glad to see you support the most corrupt member of the OC Board of Supes.

    • Never mind Jose and Linn, what about Janet's useless husband Tom Bonikowski? Did that doofus ever land another job after his last employer canned him?

  • Did you hear Governor Browns ad for Jose, If only he pronounced his name correctly!

    I am NO Janet fan, but I can't get over Solorio and his RSCCD post, he absolutely put his future in front of lower middle class students. THAT SUCKS.

  • Solorio's own words -
    “With our strong grounding in the Senate district, we didn’t have another Democrat running against us in the primary. Meanwhile, on the Republican side, there were two candidates running against each other. We decided to run a modest “Vote for Vets” campaign supporting Prop. 41 with a ballot measure committee I have, and preserved our Solorio for Senate committee dollars."

    Sacramento Bee -
    Jun 2, 2014 - "Vote for Vets," reads one of the Solorio-funded signs, with "Jose Solorio" in equally large type."

    Solorio promoted himself at the expense of veterans.

    • At the expense of Vets? How so? The measure was in support of Vets.

      Janet on the other hand has publicly funds friends and family at the expense of all of us including Vets.

      • From the Sac Bee - “Vote for Vets,” reads one of the Solorio-funded signs, with “Jose Solorio” in equally large type.”

        He could have promoted support for Prop 41 without promoting himself - but he didn't do that - that's how.

  • That is crap - he was promoting himself - Prop 41 did not need any help. There was no organized opposition to Prop 41 and everyone knew it was going to pass overwhelmingly.

  • I can't help but chuckle when I see folks that lose their minds over a property swap involving Mayor Pulido now cheerleading for Janet Nguyen.

    What would they say if Miguel got his brother a taxpayer funded job that paid him $73,000 a year while only working 13 hours a week? Janet did just that and not a peep from them.

  • Editor - Have you seen the anti-Solorio tv ad that connects him with some crazy-ass blogger? That's YOU!

    • LOL. My reporting about Janet's husband's filthy restaurant got him fired from a job in food safety. She's still pissed about that. I'm guessing she's been supporting his lazy butt ever since.
