Red County/OC Blog is reporting that OC Board of Education member Alexandria Coronado is now running for the First Supervisorial District. The field is getting crowded!
Republicans:
- Janet Nguyen, Garden Grove City Council
- Carlos Bustamante, Santa Ana Mayor Pro Tem
- Alexandria Coronado, OC Board of Education
- Trung Nguyen, Garden Grove School Board
- Brett Franklin, former Santa Ana Council Member
Democrats:
- Mark Rosen, Garden Grove City Council
- Claudia Alvarez, Santa Ana City Council
- Possibly Tom Umberg, former State Assemblyman
While Republicans hold a slight edge in this district, at 39.5% to 39.2%, the swing voters are the decline-to-state voters, with 17.7% of the total vote.
Other interesting statistics, courtesy of Red County/OC Blog, include:
- Garden Grove and Westminster include over 50% of the voters in the district.
- Santa Ana comes in with 45% of the voters of the district.
- 29% of the voters are permanent absentee voters.
- Turnout may be as low as 12%
Jubal/Matt Cunningham postulates that since absentee voters can start voting in 35 days, any candidate who hopes to win must get his message out to these key voters. He is right about that.
For the GOP to prevail in this race, some of their candidates need to drop out. Otherwise this seat will end up in the Democrat’s hands – again. And with Coronado in the race, it looks even worse for Bustamante. Particularly since Coronado has experience – and she knows how to package herself as a conservative. Already she is talking about stopping PLAs! It sounds like she took a page out of my playbook!
Bustamante is such toast – this race is only going to weaken him and make it easier to take him off the Santa Ana City Council in two years.
I’m starting the draft Art Pedroza campaign.
Don’t give Art any ideas. In a free for all, even Buck Bundy has a chance.
Art would make an interesting Supervisor.
He’d give PLA enthusiasts hell, that’s for sure!
Free for all, I like the sound of that. How much does it cost to get on the ballot?
Alex in the race will force Janet to show her conservative street cred!
I believe it just takes sig.’s to get on the ballot and less than $4,000 if you want a ballot statement. Come one, come all! Venga, Venga, Venga!
I like Alex’s chances of victory. She is a hard core conservative with a nice mailing list for quick fund raising. She’s the Rep. to beat at this point.
You have got to be kidding me. The lady has no job, lives with mom and daddy in cypress. If she can raise so much money where the hell was it when she ran agaisn’t Loretta.
They’re coming out of the woodwork. Next thing you know Virgil Nickel will throwing his fedora into the ring.
By the numbers, the winner could win by only 5 votes. (If ten or more canidates).
Maybe all ballot should be absentee, that would elimante the out of district crossover voting that can happen with provisional ballots.
If Coronado has to move into the district.. Carol Rudat Part II
Do any of the candidates have a website that highlights their platform? Also, Art run! Run Art Run!
30-50 people read this blog at most
all the candidates are jokes except umberg
coronado is a lost cause

If Coronado has to move into the district, then she will not make it. I believe she would have had to move into the district a few weeks ago in order to make the deadline.
Someone on OCBLog left a comment and refers to Alexandria as “CooCooNado”. I can’t stop laughing.
CooCooNado, that’s puerile.
Coronado is bright but not terribly competent.
She has been known to make advances at male campaign staffers or volunteers (I was one) and in GOP circles its well known she had a relationship during her last campaign.
This is not the judgement of a competent public employee.
People get the leadership they deserve.
Art,
Kansas City says don’t do it…
For the love of God.
Don’t.
Does Alex still live at home?
Alexandria Coronado can not run for supervisor as she does not live in the district and does not have enough time to move into the district. Consider Ms. Coronado a non issue.
CooCooNado may be juvenile, but it’s still funny. I know Alexandria and and have seen her in action with young men. That makes me laugh too!
Its all a moot point y’all. CooCoo-anado is registered to vote outside the distyrict and the 30 day minimum time to register has allready past. She has left a message on the OC Blog conceieding this facft along with the election. Her CooCoonado brigade has sworn a write in campaign to illustrate they do not believe she has conceieded. This and much more including man bites dog in the next segment.
so Poster #18 you find “CooCooNado” to be juvenile? From the information your posted, maybe Alexandria’s new name should be SKIPPY. Is anyone old enough to remember the t.v. commercial?
Luis:
Leave it to you to try to take credit for information that was already widely reported. We all know she pulled out because she sent an email indicating she was pulling out (this email was also posted on at the red county blog).
Poster 15,
Actually, if you go to http://www.sitemeter.com/?a=stats&s=s18ojuice&r=79&d=127&md=1&pg=2&v=500, you will see that we have readers in over 30 cities in the U.S.
Thanks for being one of them…
Doesn’t Skippy peanut butter spread easy?
