NOTE: I DO NOT ENDORSE! I simply make RECOMMENDATIONS, looking for the BEST or sometimes the BETTER of the CANDIDATES of those available. Sometimes, I even RECOMMEND with RELUCTANCE, knowing SOMEONE is going to win, and one candidate’s political philosophy might tilt slightly better than another. If I’m not able to determine ANY positive tilt or have inadequate info, I may just state, “NONE”.

NOTE: Please do not vote for Democrat, EUGENE FIELDS, who in spite for being on oversite committees reviewing finances, he is more of a PR person than a numbers person. Previously, he’s been a reporter for the REGISTER newspaper, and has run several runs, as a Democrat, for City Council.
PLACENTIA CC
Recommendation:
Dist 1: THOMAS HUMMER (R)
Comments: Republican Hummer is an educator and has deep roots in Placentia. He is the best of the 2 candidates, with other being JOSHUA CORREA, a free-spirited pastor and artist registered as a “Declined-to-State” party.
Dist 3: JEREMY YAMAGUCHI (R)
Comments: Current Republican Mayor and Businessman, YAMAGUCHI was first elected to the CC in 2008, at age 19, and reportedly doing a good job.

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA CC
Recommendations:
MAYOR:TONY BEALL (MAYOR)Dist 3 City Council
Comments: Conservatize Beall is endorsed by the OC GOP (Republican Party of OC), and my research show he is doing a good job.
Dist 3 City Council: NO RECOMMENDATION
Comments: (Updated as of 10-22-24) On Oct 20, my previous recommendation of CAROL GAMBLE, incumbent has been removed because GAMBLE, “SUSPENDED” her campaign due to the inaccurate filing of her nomination papers. I do not have adequate time to properly vet her opponent, KERI LYNN BAERT, for possible replacement at this late date.
SAN CLEMENTE CC
Recommendation:
Dist 3: RICK LOEFFLER (DTS)
Comments: As of 10-7, I am changing my recommendation to RICK LOEFFLER for best chance to keep this board conservative. I previously recommended conservative, LOIS MCNICOLL, but she is running a minimal campaign and unlikely to win. There is concern the vote could be split w/4 in race, allowing far-left Democrat ANGELA WATTS to take advantage. To prohibit, I’m recommending RICK LOEFFLER, who has voted with conservatives on council the majority of the time his previous term.
NOTE: DO NOT VOTE for far-left, Democrat ANGELA WATTS, who is endorsed by the Democrat Party of OC and Planned Parenthood.
Dist 4: ZHEN WU (R)
Comments: WU is a business owner and architect, a Republican who leans Libertarian in views. He’s endorsed by Republican Party of OC (OC GOP), and the Young Republicans. He is a fiscal conservative, and supports most all the Conservative social issues, like Parental Notification in schools, and opposes transgendering. However, he supports a “woman’s’ choice” up to fetus viability. He was born & educated in China and immigrated here in 1999 at 27, due to opposition to authoritarian regime. He did graduate school at USC.
NOTE: Please do not vote for Democrat, SARAH SCHNEIDER, who in June, switched to “Declined-to-State” party, apparently to appeal more to the Republican-dominated electorate, but the Dem party is privately supporting her.
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO CC
Recommendation: Sergio Farias (D)
Comments: Yes, I am recommending a Democrat here, and I haven’t lost my mind. My research indicate, including talking to active Conservative residents, and another Conservative CC member, that current Mayor SERGIO FARIAS is a “reasonable” Democrat who has worked well and voted “reasonably” and conservatively, during his time on the City Council. This would be his 3rd term. He stated to me that during his time on the board he has moved right politically from an initial very liberal way of thinking 8 yrs ago, becoming more open-minded, desiring to do what is best for the city, and not following a particular political agenda. He said he has enjoyed working with all the council members. I see that many “R” CC members have given FARIAS their endorsements, too. BC he does not agree with all on the Democrat agenda, he stated, he did not to seek the endorsement of the Democratic Party of OC.
While Farias’s opponent, small business owner, Jesse Nelson, is a registered Republican, he is marginally known in the city, and has not been active in the city. Both candidates OPPOSE the building of the toxic battery farm per their ballot statements. It is disappointing that Saddleback Church would consider selling or leasing the property for that purpose.

SANTA ANA CC
Recommendations:
Mayor: VALERIE AMEZCUA (D)
Comments: (Just added 10-21) By far, the better of the 2 candidates, and most conservative in this race, is current mayor (since 2022), VALERIE AMEZCUA. This recommendation comes from my research, and from a trusted conservative advisor and SA resident, who knows SA city politics and this candidate well. While AMEZCUA is a Democrat, she is a “reasonable” one, and is conservative on many issues, especially those involving schools and children (she served on SA School Board from 2014 to 2022) and appears to have the fortitude to stand up against those pushing the FAR-LEFT Liberals agenda. She is the first female mayor in the history of SA.
Ward 1: JULIE TRAN (R)
Comments: “ Our city is broken’ and needs new leadership.“ per Julie Tran. Small business owner and longtime resident says, “I know and love our city and understand its (Santa Ana’s) potential. Santa Ana has one of the highest sales taxes in Orange County. It’s not sustainable for the city to keep returning to the voters to ask for more money without making budgetary decisions to reduce spending. The City Council is also deciding to give themselves a significant raise! I will not support any raises for elected officials during my time on the City Council.”
Ward 3: JEFFREY KATZ (Declined to State)
Comments: Per Robyn of conservative www.RobynNorell.com. Better of 2
Ward 5: MARIO ALVARADO
Comments: MARIO ALVARADO is not a strong recommendation for Conservative ideals. While a Democrat, he appears to be the BETTER of the 2 DEM Candidates for this office. He currently is a SA planning commissioner, and saw first hand the need for change in this poorly run city. (SA CC put a CC PAY INCREASE on the ballot! Are they kidding?) ALVARADO’S main focus is public safety, to bring solutions to reduce crime, and help revitalize the city, and bring new leadership to the city, where he has been a life-long resident. He is a business owner and opposes SA Measure FF to give City Councilmember a whopping pay raise. I applaud him for coming to speak at a meeting of Conservative Patriots of OC last Thursday, where I am a member.
NOTE: Please DO NOT VOTE for incumbent Democrat, JOHNATHAN RYAN HERNANDEZ, who is endorsed by the Democrat Party of OC. The city is poorly run and change is needed on the City Council.
SEAL BEACH CC
Recommendation:
Dist 2: BEN WONG (R)
Comments: Unopposed Businessman and a current Planning Commissioner in Seal Beach. He is endorsed by the Republican Party of OC (OC GOP).
Dist 4: PATTY SENECAL (R)

Dist 4: RYAN GALLAGHER (R)

Recommendation:

2. YAN KILLY (R)
Comments: A marketing engineer, KILLY is a naturalized American Citizen from Ukraine, coming here 43 yrs ago. He says, “I embody the American dream. . . . I believe in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Freedom, and Liberty!”
NOTE: Do NOT VOTE for KELLY MCBRIDE (D) or ROBERT FRACKELTON, a not so conservative Republican.

Comments: This is another BOND (that is, the College district will get a loan). Loan will be paid back with your INCREASED PROPERTY TAXES -FOR DECADES ! ! !

Let schools put pressure on Gov Newsom to cut spending, STOP SUPPORTING ILLEGALS, and stupid programs like the High-Speed Rail boondoggle, and so many others, and help schools, instead. WE PAY ENOUGH TAXES!
Raising REVENUE, via BONDS is “THE MOST EXPENSIVE” way to obtain revenue funds, paying back TWICE what is borrowed. Ridiculous!
