Donald J. Trump’s campaign announced that the GOP presidential frontrunner will hold a rally Thursday at the OC fairgrounds. And if Tuesday’s Anaheim City Council meeting is any indication, things could get ugly, even by Trump standards.
The Democratic Party is angry with Jordan Brandman, a Democrat, for voting with Republican council members to exclude Anaheim’s only Latino majority district from district elections in 2016.
The San Diego-based manager of the Great Park Design Studio says Irvine City Councilwoman Christina Shea’s accusation is unfounded. Shea sticks by her statements.
A Virgina-based nonprofit allegedly funneled $200,000 from secret donors to elect Republicans to the Irvine City Council.
Members of the council majority backed away from assigning Mayor Tom Tait blame for allowing an anti-Semitic and homophobic rant. But debate over whether the mayor was culpable continued among public speakers.
David Benavides receives police officers’ endorsement in Santa Ana. Assemblyman Jose Solorio endorses rival candidates in Anaheim.
Monday’s vote marks the first time in recent memory that a challenger to longtime Mayor Miguel Pulido has received the party’s endorsement.
The endorsement, which follows backing by the county’s Young
Democrats, makes Perez the clear front-runner.
Democratic Party leaders will gather this weekend to vote on a
pre-endorsement in the race. The decision could end up as a
referendum on the party’s future.
Party elders hope 26-year-old Nick Anas, leader of the OC Young
Democrats, will breathe new life into a party that was rocked by
scandal last year.
