Seriously though, do we really need to “ask a mexican” anything? Why do we care?

I wish more Latinos would vote in elections in Garden Grove.

Has Garden Grove ever had a Latino City Councilmember?

Anon #3,
I cannot recall any Latino Council Membrs in GG. However, Benny Diaz was a candidate for City Council in G twice.

I myself grew up in a heavily latino neighborhood El Modena. I wish more Latinos were active in local elections. This being a Presidential election year, I anticipate more Latinos at the polls and the vietnamese vote to be less influential due to more voters at the polls in general.

Todays fundraiser was a great success. Nearly two thousand dollars raised from the activist community. Thats is a big number from that universe. I anticipate many more fundraisers in the future.

You can ask your friend janet Nguyen the same thing. She grew up in the 909 in Redlands and inherited all the traits of the trailer trash that used to pick on her when she was a kid.

Seriously, You are quite pathetic. Im gonna vote for a Central OC Native born son beofre any other ass clown that throws their hat into this race.
