Apparently the Orange County Democratic Party Central Committee endorsed the following Santa Ana candidates yesterday:

  • Loretta Sanchez for United States Congress (Re-Elect)
  • Councilman David Benavides for Mayor
  • Eric Alderete for City Council
  • Valerie Amezcua and Myriam Tinajero for the Santa Ana Unified School Board
  • Jose Solorio, Nelida Yanez and Mark McLoughlin for the Rancho Santiago Community College District’s Board of Education

“Pulido had withdrawn his request for an endorsement shortly before the meeting, so the tally overwhelmingly favored Benavides. Thirty-four voted to back Benavides, while only three voted against it,” according to the Voice of OC.

Benavides may have gotten this endorsement but he is not raising any money or campaigning at all.  Strange.

  • My last paragraph doesn’t sound correct. Here it is rewriten.

    Central Committee of the Democratic Party has rejected the unfounded rumors, by endorsing Councilman David Benavides for Mayor.

  • "Remember, these are the same clowns who endorsed Umberg and Daly."

    You think Miguel pulled request for their support because he also considers them clowns and irrelevant even though he asked for their endorsement for 18 years.

    Umberg and Daly are also supported by Miguel publically or not.

    Barbaro tried to make a deal for as you say " these clowns" to support Pulido ....he failed

  • You referring to the victory fund IE controlled by Barbaro who is Pulido's long time private attorney and chairman of the OC Dem committee.

    This IE is independent of the OC Democratic committee ? And / or you saying Benavidez was endorsed but will not be offered any kind of financial assistance by the OC Dem. committee?

  • Umberg and Daly,

    Now there are a couple of upstanding family men.

    I doubt that the Central committee (as I know them) have any idea what a scumbag this guy is.

    But, don't worry. I spoke to his (ex)wife today.

    TRUST ME. There is now rumor or inuendo here.

  • Carpetbagger delusional. Daly " a real family man" .

    Spoke to the ex wife????? Good so don't vote for Benavidez.

    69th A.D. candidate Tom Daly accused of sexual harassment
    Posted by Editor on August 26th, 2012

    On July 10 of this year I posted an article on this blog entitled “Shouldn’t Daly be investigated for Bustamante-like behavior.”  Today it hit the fan for Daly, as “County officials are moving to hire a law firm to check into a host of sexual harassment and corruption allegations against County Clerk-Recorder Tom Daly, who is currently the frontrunner to become Orange County’s next State Assemblyman for the 69th District,” according to the Voice of OC.

    The letter alleges that Daly has handed out promotions and engaged in inappropriate behavior with at least four female workers at the Clerk Recorders’ Office, which it refers to as “ Tommy’s Girls or Tommy’s Angels.”
