Santa Ana residents have been voting via absentee ballots for about a week. During that time Assemblyman Jose Solorio has mailed a letter to all the voters in support of Mayor Miguel Pulido. And Santa Ana’s Firemen and Paramedics have also been featured in a mailer in support of Mayor Pulido.
Santa Ana Council Ward 3 Candidate Eric Alderete sent out a nice mailer the other day. So did Councilman Vince Sarmiento and Ward 5 candidate Roman Reyna (the infamous mailer that featured Reyna wearing a clip on tie).
But where in the world are the mailers in support of Mayoral challenger David Benavides?
Not only have I not seen any Benavides mailers, I am told that his erstwhile allies are not walking for him either. No one is. What gives?
Apparently Benavides’ entire campaign strategy is based on having Republican Orange Park Acres resident Art Lomeli comment on his behalf every time I rip Benavides!
Well folks, that is not going to get it done. The election will be upon us very soon. Pulido’s campaign has a huge crew of volunteers making phone calls every night. Pulido himself is appearing at events all over town. And Benavides? Well he appears to be running about as hard as the Amezcua sisters who are running in Wards 1 and 3.
This election appears to be over already.

Art, Don't underestimate the power of Dr. Lomeli's postings! They just may carry David to victory! Who needs direct mail anyway? It's such an overrated way to communicate with voters. I say attend a handful of candidate forums, recycle some of your old yard signs with stickers that say Mayor over the top of the last post your ran for, make a few new signs that say "25 years is to much" because you have no new vision or catch phrase about yourself or what you would do, drop a couple hundred flyers with Roman Reyna, send out lots of mass emails touting fundraisers that raise no funds, and call it a day. Sure fire recipe for winning the Mayors race! Oh, and kick your wife and family to the curb along the way for good measure.
Great thesevare the firemen that were outsourced ? Replaced , lost income and jobs because Pulido lead there union benefit plan which nearly bankrupted the city and the flyer claims a balanced budget? GOOD COMEDY.
THIS IS A GOOD MAILER FOR BENAVIDES AND DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO SPEND MONEY.
Sorry Lomeli. Your boy Benavides voted for all of that too. In the past six years he has voted with Pulido over 98 percent of the time.
So where are Benavides' mailers?
So doesn't change anything I said.. Whether or not. Pulido is claiming ownership of the IMF. On flyer . he does not say Benavides and I . Benavides votes 98% with me so give him credit too.
Whiner. Where's Benavides' mailers?
Not Whining just correcting your message. Mailers on the way.
Too late. Folks are already voting.
So this one recycled mailer is going to make the difference?
The question you should be asking is if Benavides' late mailers are going to make a difference.
You ask your questions and I will ask mine.

Pulido's campaign is following your advice. The flyer above is one sent last election cycle. I guess the firemen and paramedics are not providing money.
Yes, the firemen and paramedics have been supporting Pulido for many years. They know a good man when they see him!
I guess they are happy where they are out side of Santa Ana and thankful to Pulido for it. Weird.
David should stick to ripping off condo buyers in riverside.
He doesn't stand a chance.
Hey Art, Even if 60% of the voters have already mailed their votes in, Benavides can still win if he gets 125% of all poll voters. It's possible!
Art, Before major sporting events, the Mayors of the cities involved often make friendly wagers regarding the outcome. Why don't you and Dr. Lomelei bet on the Santa Ana Mayor's race?
All you need to do is decide what the winner/loser has to do post-election when the results are known.
I don't want to steal his money. Polls have Pulido up by 25 percent. This race is already over.
Majority council independent from Pulido have weakened him beyond repair. Staying mayor does not change this. Benavides if not elected Mayor stays on council. Benavides and the majority Pulido independent council win whatever the outcome.
