Republican, Democrat, Independent??? The Partisan Affiliations of Everyone Holding Office In Orange County
Posted by Chris Emami on March 22, 2013
I was working on a database of the part affiliation of all Orange County local elected officials. Finally, I have completed the project with all of the special districts and county seats being added. I also fixed some errors in the previous versions (here, here, and here) and have combined the database into one post.
We have added a button on the menu bar for our readers to always be able to access this database and use it for whatever research/political needs that they may have. Due to the length of th epost you are going to have to click the below link to read the rest of the post.

How Well Did the OC Register’s Endorsements Go?
Posted by Chris Nguyen on November 13, 2012
This year marked the first time that The Orange County Register endorsed candidates for office. While the paper has endorsed for or against ballot measures on a regular basis, this was the paper’s first foray into endorsing City Council candidates.
So here’s who they endorsed, and whether the candidate won or loss (I should note these numbers are subject to change pending further results from the Registrar of Voters, as there are several close races, including, but not limited to, Costa Mesa, Fullerton, Huntington Beach, Mission Viejo, Tustin, and Yorba Linda):

The Register went 39-27 in Council races (2-1 in mayoral races if you count those separately from Council races), endorsing the winner 59% of the time.
On ballot measures, here’s what happened with The Register’s endorsements:
| Ballot Measure | OC Register | OC Voters | Statewide Voters |
| Proposition 30 | No | No | Yes |
| Proposition 31 | No | No | No |
| Proposition 32 | Yes | Yes | No |
| Proposition 33 | Yes | Yes | No |

| Proposition 37 | No | No | No |
| Proposition 38 | No | No | No |
| Proposition 39 | No | Yes | Yes |
| Proposition 40 | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Measure M (Coast Community College District – Needs 55% to Pass) | No | Yes | - |
| Measure N (Fountain Valley School District – Needs 55% to Pass) | No | No | - |
| Measure O (La Habra City School District – Needs 55% to Pass) | No | Yes | - |

| Measure Q (Rancho Santiago Community College District – Needs 55% to Pass) | No | Yes | - |
| Measure S (Tustin Unified School District – Needs 55% to Pass) | No | Yes | - |
| Measure T (Brea) | No | Yes | - |

| Measure CC (Laguna Beach) | No | No | - |
| Measure DD (Los Alamitos) | No | Yes | - |
| Measure EE (Newport Beach) | No | Yes | - |
| Measure FF (Orange) | Yes | No | - |
| Measure GG (Santa Ana) | No | Yes | - |
| Measure HH (Tustin) | Yes | Yes | - |
On statewide ballot measures, The Register went 10-1 (91%) with Orange County voters but 7-4 (64%) with California voters.
On local ballot measures, The Register went 7-14 (33%) with the voters.
I’ll still be number crunching over the next days and weeks, but despite what looks like a dismal endorsement record, it appears The Register was actually middle of the pack on their endorsement success rate in Orange County.

Humongous Grid of Endorsements: State Assembly, City Council, School Board, Special Districts, and Ballot Measures
Posted by Chris Nguyen on November 4, 2012
You may have seen my prior post entitled, “Republican? Democrat? Independent? The Partisan Affiliations of Everyone Running for Everything in Orange County.” In an effort to bring more information to voters, here is my humongous grid of endorsements, showing endorsements from the Democratic Party of Orange County, the Democratic Foundation of Orange County, the Orange County Register, the Republican Party of Orange County, the California Republican Assembly, the Lincoln Club of Orange County, Atlas PAC, and Family Action PAC.
Regrettably, I’ve been unable to find a comprehensive, countywide listing of chamber and union endorsements.
Also, some of these organizations endorsed in uncontested races. I excluded those from the grid.

Introducing Laguna Beach Council Candidate Steve Dicterow
Posted by Greg Woodard on October 18, 2012
We now move on to that bastion of conservatism, Laguna Beach, and council candidate Steve Dicterow.
Steve previously served on the City Council from 1994-2006. He recently has spoken to a large number of individuals and groups who have told him they need him back on the council. Steve missed his service on the council and he was told he improved residents’ lives while he was serving and he want to help the Laguna Beach residents yet again.
Steve believes public safety is critical for the city. He wants to create a Public Safety Committee so residents can work with police, fire, and marine safety officials to determine the best way to protect the residents. Steve wants the Public Safety Committee to make recommendations to the council on how to best protect the residents.
Steve also is a proponent of fiscal responsibility. He said that the unpredictability of pensions is plaguing cities, and he feels the council needs to work with public employee unions to achieve greater certainty on compensation and benefits to get costs under control. Steve will keep the existing compensation and benefits in place for current city employees, but he wants to explore a 401k-type plan for future employees.
Steve also thinks that it is critical that the city has a strong infrastructure. He wants the council to monitor infrastructure plans as they go forward. When he previously served on the council, he created a 10 year rolling Capital Improvement Plan for the city that allowed those plans to be monitored on an ongoing basis. The city had neglected its sewer system before he was on the council, and Steve believes that as a result of his actions, the city’s ocean water quality went from last to first in the state.
Steve wants to promote businesses, the arts community, and children. He wants to cut the red tape for businesses. Steve said that the current regulatory climate in the city costs businesses too much, takes too long for decisions on projects, and the applicant does not know if they will be approved or not. Steve will work with the business community to make the city an attractive place for them to come. Steve has served on the Board of the Festival of Arts for 6 years and he supports the artist community. He believes it is very important to make Laguna Beach affordable for artists so they can live in the city. He said the existing Live-Work Program is not effective and he wants to work with the artists to see how the current rules can be modified to make the city affordable for them. Steve also said the city needs to pay attention to its children. He wants the city to have a teen center, a skate park, and he will work with the school board to create effective anti-drug and anti-drinking programs.
Steve said that employee compensation should be reviewed in the context of other cities, both in similar size, and in similar geographic regions. He does not want to lost quality people to other cities. He also believes that, while the amount of compensation employees are receiving is important, he is more nervous about the certainty of the compensation. He wants to know how much the city is paying its employees to make sure it fits within the budget. He said that the current pension system creates uncertainty. Steve feels his expertise as a pension-plan attorney will serve the council well.
Steve said the city is essentially built out with no open areas for new development. He did note that it is important to protect the rights of existing property owners who come to the city with remodel projects or small-scale developments. Steve will address each applicant on a case-by-case basis. He believes that the content coming out of the existing Design Review Board is good, but the process is too contentious, often pitting neighbor against neighbor, and Steve will try to make the process better for all parties.
Steve is endorsed by, among others, the Orange County Register, the Laguna Beach Taxpayers Association, Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, the Orange County Republican Party, and state assembly member Allan Mansoor.

OCGOP Endorsements Being Considered Tonight
Posted by Chris Nguyen on September 4, 2012
Tonight is the first of two nights that the endorsements committee of the OCGOP will be meeting. These are the endorsements that are up for consideration tonight (some of these people will be turned down since there are more applicants than endorsements available). 3 people (the candidate and two supporters) may speak in favor of an endorsement and 3 people may speak against. The candidate will be permitted to rebut the arguments made against their endorsement.
More endorsements will be considered tomorrow night.
Also, all Endorsements Committee recommendations must be ratified by the Central Committee.
