Richard Tran is not just a teacher. He is one of those teachers that students remember – forever. Born and raised in Santa Ana, Tran is a product of the Santa Ana Unified School District, attending Taft Elementary, McFadden Intermediate and Saddleback High School. In addition to being an alumni and resident of Santa Ana, Tran began his career in this district, working in several classified positions, serving as an After School Program Coordinator, serving as the District Coordinator of Intermediate Intramural Sports, as well as teaching both middle school and high school.
Tran finally had enough of the corruption at the Santa Ana Unified School District, and he quit. Now Tran is running for the SAUSD School Board as a write-in candidate, and his story is quite compelling.
I spoke to one of Tran’s former students tonight. He said that Tran didn’t just do a good job in the classroom. He also kept in touch with his charges and helped them when he could. The student in question sometimes would call Tran and explain that his mom didn’t have the money to feed him at the time. Tran would pick him up and buy him dinner.

Vote by mail, voters do not get the write in candidate list.
Another good reason to vote in person at your polling place.
Cook,
Yes they do.
Oct. 4th Vote by mail starts (special absent voters’ ballots. Sept. 3rd)
Oct 19th final write in statement .
Seems to me that the majority of the vote by mail ballots are sent out before the final write list is complete,
and I looked all over the ROV’s web site and have not found a copy of qualified write in candidates.
Since I vote only at the polls, I do not know what comes in the mail with the “vote by mail” paper ballot.
But it seems to me with the majority of the Vote by Mail ballots being sent to the voters’ before Oct 19th, the best they can expect is a incomplete “Write In” list.
Another good reason to vote at the polls.
Thousands of paper ballots are tossed each election for various reasons. (Mostly the Vote by Mail ones)
After watching the recounts over the past few years that Orange County has used the electronic E-slates, not one vote has been lost in the electronic data counts.
