#1,
It is an odd endorsement. Perez does not represent the OC. And he is already on record as saying he wants to raise taxes. Again.
But I guess it punks Tom Daly, which is a good thing.
Nice to know our Assembly Speaker doesn’t mind endorsing carpetbaggers…
I hope Lori kicks than Tom (Lazy Bum) Daly A**!
Tom Daly is a waste of taxpayers money.
This would be impressive. If she were running for assembly! What does an assemblyman from Downtown LA have to do with my 4th district? Absolutely nothing. Hahaha she had to go alll the way to LA to find someone who didn’t know anything about her ways of doing business. If anything this will hurt her. No big Dem elected in alllll of OC is willing to endorse the poor carpetbagger.
What with all the support Daly has from Republicans does he really need Democratic backing?
Who needs John Perez when you’ve got Jerbal?
Has anyone considered that Mr. Perez has significant influence in union circles outside of OC and could bring her union financial support as well? I believe Mr. Perez was a union boss himself not that long ago.
You guys underestimate this endorsement at your own peril. Perez has significant ties to labor and this will open the door for Lorri to raise a lot more money from labor. Labor will also knock and phone every precinct in that district, and in a low turnout June primary it could put her above 50%, especially if Rose drops out and Lorri is the only woman on the ballot. Remember guys, there are no D’s or R’s next to these guys’ names on the ballot, so at least some people who will vote will not necessarily take partisanship into consideration(as much).
I’m not saying that she will get to that 50%, it’s likely a long shot if not impossible, but to simply dismiss this endorsement is honestly laughable.
Are you guys telling me that Senator Boxer endorsing someone like Phu Nguyen would be insignificant just because he isn’t running for federal office?
Of course the unions will support Galloway. They need a dingbat as supervisor in order to control her vote to keep their ridiculous pension packets.
Consider the political climate for unions lately. The states financial problems are direcly affected by the unions greed and lack of sensitivity to the publics situation. The more the unions demand higher taxes, the weaker the unions image. Daily the unions are being pounded on the airwaves of talk show hosts such as John & Ken.
In such a climate, will strong connections to the unions help Galloway? The last thing people in OC need is another political class in the unions pockets.
