Sandra Hutchens Misinformation Removed from Ballot Statement
False Claims by Hutchens Stricken from Ballot Statement
(Santa Ana) – Orange County Superior Court Judge Gregory Munoz signed an agreement today requiring removal from acting Sheriff Sandra Hutchens’ ballot statement her inflated claims to have cut management overhead by forty-seven percent.
“Someone needs to tell Sandra Hutchens that her deceptive, Los Angeles styled political tactics don’t work here in Orange County,” said Craig Hunter Spokesman Tim Clark. “For months, Hutchens has been masquerading as a budget-cutter and blatantly misleading voters about her record. Unfortunately for taxpayers, the only substantial cuts Hutchens has made during her tenure have been the words cut today from her ballot statement.”
“Hutchens’ factual oversights also include her claim to have issued conceal carry permits to ninety percent of the applicants,” continued Clark. “Hutchens’ serial abuse of the truth is so bad that it’s starting to make even Nancy Pelosi look like a saint.”
As Anaheim’s Deputy Chief, Craig Hunter oversees all daily police operations of California’s tenth largest city, including the department’s nearly 800 full-time and volunteer members, and a $120 million budget. During his tenure, Anaheim has earned national acclaim for homeland security and community policing, and the city is recognized as the safest among California’s ten largest cities. Chief Hunter has also implemented numerous cost saving procedures that have streamlined spending, eliminated waste, and created more efficient use of taxpayer dollars.
Chief Hunter holds a Master’s Degree in Criminal Justice from Chapman University. He is also a graduate of the FBI National Academy, Command College, POST Leadership Institute, and the Delinquency Control Institute at USC. Craig and Lisa Hunter live in Yorba Linda and are raising their four children.

Umm. Neither Craig Hunter nor his mouthpiece had anything at all to do with the ballot challange. What’s with the shameless plug for Hunter? Did Art and Hunter hatch this spin together? Kinda looks like it. Just like Hunter is pro CCW right?
According to Gilliard Hunters press release which is printed in full above is a lie. There has been no court order or ruling from the Judge.
This is the same Gilliard who originally said the law suit was “laughable” Yes, the same Gilliard who’s office was recently raided in a 151 count indictment investigation.
Now the Sheriff agrees to take it out because she knew all along it was a lie. That statement has been part of her stump speech for months. Probalby got her lots of endorsements and money by trying to show herself as a fiscal conservative. Now we know the truth…. Thanks to Mr. Gilbert’s lawsuit
Art, could you please confirm who filed the lawsuit and did Hunter’s campaign have anything to do with it, substantively?
When I first read the post I believed Hunter’s campaign spearheaded this. Not so sure now.
Thanks
Yeah. Good to see that someone from outside any campaign handed it to her. It deprives her and Gilliard from spinning it as an opponents attack. Don’t see Gilliard “laughing” now do we.
Anonymous. Please clarify Mr. Gilbert’s law suit.
Although I am attending a Mission Viejo forum with all three candidates this afternoon I have not been involved with this debate.
Larry Gilbert
Larry,
can you compare and contrast the ideological differences between these three candidates with regards to non-violent drug offenses? Also, can the sherrif have any bearing on the sentencing guidelines of drug offenses? Whta are the views of the three candidates with regards to treatment vs incarceration?
Paul. Sorry I didn’t have this comment earlier. At the endo of the forum I was the first person to ask a question which I directed to the sheriff. Stay tuned for my debate post
