Kudos to Matt Cunningham at Red County/OC Blog for digging up an email from Anaheim Council Member Lorri Galloway, who turned heads by not backing her fellow Democrat, OC Supervisor Lou Correa. Instead Galloway endorsed Assemblywoman Lynn Daucher, for the 34th Senate District. Her message, which I have enclosed below, explains why she is not backing Correa. Claudio, you might want to sit down before you read this:

To My Dear Friends:
The reason that I cannot endorse Lou Correa is tied to the core of my being and to what I
I admire Lori so much for this heartfelt letter. She is such a strong woman and an inspiration to young girls everywhere. God bless you Lori and I’ll send you money and walk for you next time you are running.
Lori, I’m trying to understand your reasons why you rather support Daucher over Correa.
First, you stated that the system “was broken”. Is it fixed now? Who fixed it?
After getting a unfavorable response from Correa did you then go to Daucher? Why not, after all she is in the state Assembly?
Then you stated, “If any of you had a murdered child and Lou told you what he told me, I doubt any of you would rush to his support. “
That’s true but I can tell that sometimes whatever response or action one receives it can never be enough or good enough.
I have four kids and I would react as you said but I wouldn’t expect that reaction from Correa. At least that’s what I believe based on our past conversationss and my belief he is a very compassionate moral gentleman.
It’s not that I doubt your hurt feelings its just I not familar with this child abuse case. Can you please tell other the court hearings where else did you go and get a better favorable response? What actions did you get fixed do where you state that this problem is now fixed.
Who helped Lorri write this letter? She need a better spin doctor.
