In two years, Supervisor Janet Nguyen, a Republican, is going to have to run for re-election. She only won by three votes, back in 2007. She won a full four year term in 2008. However, since then she has antagonized voters numerous times.
In her latest gaffe, she has upset most of Little Saigon by taking over this year’s Black April event, which commemorates what happened when Vietnam fell to the communists and the people had to flee, many of them arriving here in California.
Rumor has it that popular Assemblyman Jose Solorio, who is a Democrat, will be challenging Nguyen for the First Supervisorial District, in 2012, when, coincidentally, he will term out of the State Assembly.
Solorio represents the Cities of Anaheim and Santa Ana, in the State Legislature. Those same cities are in the First Supervisorial District.

It will be a refreshing change to have Jose Solorio represent us in District 1 at the county level. He has been receptive and responsive to his constituents concerns in the 69th State Assembly District.
If you call forcing Harvey Milk day on our Children representing, I guess you’re ok…
If you call voting for the largest tax increase in state history representing, you’re ok…
If you call voting for Court Bonds financed with massive fee hikes on the traffic tickets (that were the subject of another thread) representing, you’re ok…
Solorio is a reliable far-left vote and a bag of refuse will torch him in any competitive district.
If you don’t like Nguyen – find another Republican to run against her – Solorio ain’t it.
Jose has the best staff in California. They are very responsive and help him respond to residents. Jose will win that seat easily.
If the election were held today, Janet would send Jose back the SA council chambers. And Correa wouldn’t win his seat back either…
However, if the 1st district boundary lines were tinkered next year and went a South-North direction, encompassing Anaheim, Janet would be toast.
That means all the Latino advocacy groups have push for this change during the after-Census supervisorial redrawing meetings.
Are Latinos disinfranchised for not having someone a Latino representation on the board?
However, if the lines are redrawn to include less of the Vietnames areas and more of the Latino areas(parts of Anaheim) then don’t expect clear sailing for Jose?
Mrs. Galloway might be still interested in being a supervisor and if given the opportunity and choice between her and Jose, she has my vote.
I base that on my belief of holding politicians accountable for their job, with the test being if they left their consitutents in a better situation than they entered.
Basically, is California better off now, after 12 years with Jose on the Assembly…No
Is Anaheim better off after Lori Galloway term in the council chambers… Yes
Does Janet represents constituents other than certain groups within the Vietnamese community…No
Hi, Tobe quit honest with you Janet stands a better chnace of winning. Solorio has to much on his hands and unsure of what to to support. I’ll vote for in re-election regardless of what he says or does.
ALFARO
Richard,
Don’t forget that Janet is running for the OC GOP Central Committee, in the 68th AD, this June. Why is the Chair of the OC Board of Supervisors engaging in such ridiculous partisan hackery?
Solorio has improved a lot and is now doing a great job. I have no doubt that he will trounce her if he runs against her in 2012. Adios Janet!
