Third Supervisorial District: Todd Spitzer in the Mail
Posted by Chris Nguyen on May 3, 2012
Excluding the Anaheim TOT mail (which has nothing to do with the June election), I received my fourth mailer of the primary election cycle on Tuesday. The first mailer was from Congressman Ed Royce’s campaign on April 4, the second one was from Todd Spitzer’s campaign for the Third Supervisorial District on April 19, and the third one was another Royce piece on April 28. This mailer is the second I’ve received from Spitzer’s campaign, and the fourth I’ve received from any campaign this cycle. The piece describes Spitzer’s pension reform proposal.
The exterior portion of the piece on the address/postage side has Spitzer’s name along with his logo and web site – this basically has his name in huge type thrice as a way to reinforce name ID even among voters who won’t open/read the piece. It also states that Spitzer is “The only candidate for Supervisor with a comprehensive plan to Reform Public Employee Pensions and Benefits…and the experience to carry it out!” It also notes Spitzer’s “‘A’ Rating from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association (Legislative Scorecard).”
The other side of the exterior portion has the headline “Taxpayers Support the Todd Spitzer Pension Reform Plan” and a quote from Reed Royalty regarding Spitzer’s endorsement by OCTaxPAC (Orange County Taxpayers Association PAC). It also includes the Orange County Register logo along with a statement that “Spitzer’s Plan was Published” in the paper on April 6. Spitzer’s name is mentioned thrice, reinforcing his name ID even among voters who won’t open/read the piece and who received the piece in the mail with the address/postage side face down.
The interior portion discusses “Todd Spitzer’s Comprehensive Plan to Reform Government Employee Pensions” with six points:
- “Private Sector Model”
- “Control Payroll Growth”
- “Treat New Hires Differently”
- “Freeze Pension Benefits”
- “Stop Pension Spiking”
- “Mandate Employee Contributions”
The interior also highlights Spitzer’s motto from his brochures: “Integrity. Experience. Results.” It also repeats his endorsement by the Orange County Taxpayers Association.
The piece is 8.5″ x 11″ and becomes 17″ x 11″ when opened up.

Republican Candidates Out Walking Tomorrow!
Posted by Former Blogger Chris Emami on April 20, 2012
In a huge sign of campaign momentum Todd Spitzer candidate for 3rd District Supervisor and Robert Hammond candidate for County Board of Education are participating in what is set to be a big precinct walk in Tustin tomorrow. (Full disclosure: Custom Campaigns is the consultant running the Hammond race and Todd Spitzer is an advertiser on this blog).
Volunteers will meet at 9:00 AM at the Starbucks located at 552 East First Street in Tustin, CA 92780. This is in the Vons shopping center near the corner of 1st and Newport.
It is always a major sign of momentum to get a large group of people out walking to support candidates running for offices, especially non-partisan ones. With tomorrow scheduled to be beautiful day according to weather reports this should be a great event.

Third Supervisorial District: Todd Spitzer in the Mail
Posted by Chris Nguyen on April 20, 2012
Excluding the Anaheim TOT mail (which has nothing to do with the June election), I received my second mailer of the primary election cycle yesterday. The first mailer was from Congressman Ed Royce on April 4. This one is from Todd Spitzer’s campaign for the Third Supervisorial District.
The exterior portion of the piece emphasizes Spitzer’s endorsements from various elected officials, particularly that of incumbent Third District Supervisor Bill Campbell. The interior portion emphasizes his previous job experience and has a “Growing Orange County’s Economy” section and a “Standing Up for Taxpayers” section.
The piece is 8.5″ x 11″ and becomes 8.5″ x 22″ when opened up. (Sorry about the split down the middle of the interior. My scanner was having trouble due to the large size of the Spitzer mailer.)

2012 Primary Election Predictions: 3rd Supervisorial District
Posted by Former Blogger Chris Emami on April 18, 2012
This race is a bit close to home since I am going to be represented by the winner of this race. Having seen this race up close and personal I hope that I can pull myself out of the echo chamber enough to make a fair analysis here.
I can promise that I will be a lot less biased than HBK and The Rock of OC who have quite frankly abused their blogging privileges a bit.
Credit goes to Meridian Pacific for posting these maps on their website.
This seat is going to potentially get ugly in the media with both candidates appearing to have a bit of disdain for each other.
Both candidates are Republicans in what is considered a very conservative seat. Party affiliation does not matter all that much in this race as no affiliation is listed on the ballot (not that it matters in this race).
The good news is that this race will be over in June, because the Prop 14 rules do not apply to this County race and with only 2 candidates on the ballot one of them is guaranteed to get over 50% of the vote.
Candidates include:
Todd Spitzer the former Supervisor and Assemblyman from Orange. He is extremely popular in Orange especially because of his strong stance on public safety issues. His humongous war chest will make it easy for him to message to voters. On the flip side he made a huge mistake voting for 3% @ 50 which is an outrageous pension liability that has plagued our state.
Deborah Pauly the current Villa Park City Councilwoman who is extremely popular in TEA Party circles. She has not had the same fundraising luck as Todd, but she appears to have a decent number of volunteers working with her. On the flip side for her she made some very disappointing comments at a rally in Yorba Linda that have quite frankly done damage to the Republican Party.
The factors at play- This one is going to unfortunately be very slanted due to fundraising, name ID, campaign experience, and support all lining up behind Todd. Had Mark Bucher jumped into this race it could have been a really big fight (Also a huge waste in Republican resources).
Looking at all the factors at play in this district I believe that winner will be:
Todd Spitzer
