Who is Robert Hammond?

Robert Hammond got 34.5% of the vote in 2010, when he ran for the 69th Assembly District as the Republican nominee.  Incumbent Jose Solorio blew him out with 65.5% of the vote, according to Smart Voter.  Undeterred, Hammond is at it again this year.  This time he is running for the Orange County Board of Education, Area One, after he quit the race for the 69th Assembly District.  I believe he is also running for the 69th Assembly District OC GOP Central Committee.

Hammond has centered his campaign around gay-bashing.  He has an incomplete campaign website, and you can click here to see his Facebook page.

Hammond was recently revealed as the key vote in denying the OC GOP endorsement to U.S. Rep. John Campbell, even though Campbell had graciously endorsed Hammond.  That makes Hammond an honorary Agranista, as Campbell is running against liberal Irvine Mayor Sukhee Kang.  Click here to read about this.
