Dr. Art Lomeli had a very well-attended fundraiser at his home in Orange this evening. With the help of Rancho Santiago Community College District (RSCCD) Trustee Al Amezcua, Lomeli raised over $5,000! Lomeli is running for Area 3 of the RSCCD.
Amongst the attendees were Valerie Amezcua, who is running for the Santa Ana Unified School District’s Board of Education; Santa Ana Councilwoman Michele Martinez, who is running for Mayor of Santa Ana; Eddie Hernandez; the Chancellor of the RSCCD; and former Santa Ana Councilman John Acosta.
Someone was nice enough to take my picture too! Other community leaders in attendance included Amin David, of Los Amigos; Albert Castillo of Barrios Unidos; Santa Ana businesswoman Teresa Saldivar; Liberal OC blogger Bill Spaulding; former OJ blogger Claudio Gallegos; Yvette Aguilar; and Santa Ana Council candidate Ana Rebecca Valencia-Verdin and her dad.
The food was fantastic. It was prepared by Dr. Lomeli’s wife, Raquel, and her family. Dinner included arroz, frijoles enteros, barbacoa and a variety of desserts, including “ponche” – a festive hot Mexican drink that includes fruit and sugar cane.
Kudos to Dr. Lomeli on a very successful fundraiser. You can find out more about his campaign at this link. He is endorsed by State Senator Lou Correa, Al Amezcua; Michele Martinez; and other community leaders. Lomeli is a member of the Santa Ana EPIC/Gang Commission and he is a board member of the Greater Santa Ana Business Alliance, which used to be called the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce. Those desgraciados did not endorse him, but they should have.
Where’s the dough Art? His campaign reports showed Nada, Zip, Zilch…..were you lying again?
