Ballot designations are the only piece of information that appear directly on the ballot other than a candidate’s name (and sometimes, political party).
Yesterday was OC Political’s coverage about OC’s worst ballot designations. Today, we’ll talk about OC’s best ballot designations.
As noted yesterday, “One of the most important things a candidate does in a California election may well be selecting a ballot designation. That short phrase below a candidate’s name is the very last piece of information that every voter sees before casting their ballots. Additionally in low-profile races, that short phrase could well be the only piece of information that voters see about a candidate before casting their ballots. California’s unique ballot designation system has even received coverage in the national press, such as this 2016 article in The Hill.”
Just a reminder, appearance on this list has nothing to do with whether the candidate is great or terrible, whether the campaign is well-run or poorly-run, whether the campaign is well-funded or underfunded, or whether I personally like the candidate or hate the candidate; it’s simply commentary on their ballot designation.
(Sadly, this post won’t be anywhere near as funny as yesterday’s post on OC’s worst ballot designations.)
Elected officials’ ballot designations are an inherent advantage, so this article excludes the designations of elected officials. Even in the worst years of anti-incumbency, incumbency remains an inherent advantage. Incumbents win 90% of the time typically, and even in anti-incumbent years, we still see 75% of incumbents re-elected.
Also as with the list of worst ballot designations, we will not be including statewide races, partly because Brenda Higgins and Craig Alexander have been beating the dead horse of the Governor’s race this morning on OC Political (and the past month) and partly because we didn’t include statewide races on the worst ballot designation list. We are only covering County seats or State/Federal districts that include OC. Without further ado:
OC’s Ten Best Ballot Designations (for Non-Incumbents/Non-Elected Officials)
- Orange County Undersheriff (Don Barnes in the Sheriff’s race)
It doesn’t get much better than this when you’re running for Sheriff. This is as close to an incumbent ballot designation as it gets.
- Deputy Assessor (Richard B. Ramirez in the Assessor’s race)
This is a great ballot designation when you’re running for Assessor. Unfortunately, for Ramirez, there is someone with a much better ballot designation in the race: Orange County Assessor Claude Parrish. (Parrish’s designation just wasn’t eligible for this list since we are excluding the designations of elected officials.)
- University Dean/Professor (Lisa Sparks in the County Board of Education, Trustee Area 5)
Everyone running for school board wants an education-related ballot designation. However, “University Dean” is one of the most impressive ones available, showing both teaching and leadership experience at the highest levels of education. The only better ones I’ve ever seen are “University President” (David Boyd when he first ran for County Board of Education, Trustee Area 2 in 2010) and iterations of Superintendent.
- Retired Fire Captain (Joe Kerr in the 4th Supervisorial District)
Voters respect firefighters. Fire Captain shows leadership experience. Kerr’s tough battle is two of his opponents are mayors and two are councilmembers; it’s just their designations weren’t eligible for this list since we are excluding the designations of elected officials.
- Victims’ Rights Attorney (Brett Murdock in the District Attorney’s race)
Voters have great sympathy victims and great respect for victims’ rights, and few offices are better-equipped to help victims than the District Attorney. Unfortunately for Murdock, two of his opponents have better ballot designations: Orange County District Attorney and Orange County Supervisor/Attorney. (Their designations just weren’t eligible for this list since we are excluding the designations of elected officials.)
- FBI Advisor/Attorney (Omar Siddiqui in the 48th Congressional District)
This one is intriguing. In yesterday’s worst ballot designations, I wrote “Unless you’re running for Attorney General, Superior Court Judge, or District Attorney, there is no value in using attorney as your ballot designation: think about all the insulting things people say about attorneys. There are some modifiers that make great exceptions…” Well, FBI Advisor/Attorney is a great exception. It makes Siddiqui look almost like a prosecutor, and voters love prosecutors. (Though Siddiqui’s ballot designation is strong, his problem is how much better-funded his four opponents are, including the incumbent.)
- Fraud Investigator/Businessman (Russell Rene Lambert in the 46th Congressional District)
This one is also intriguing. A “Fraud Investigator” has a certain degree of expertise. It lends itself well to a government reformer message. Unfortunately, for Lambert, party registration is very slanted against him in his district for this partisan seat and the fact that there is someone with a much better ballot designation in the race: United States Congressmember Lou Correa. (Correa’s designation just wasn’t eligible for this list since we are excluding the designations of elected officials.)
- Orange County Business Owner (Scott Baugh in the 48th Congressional District and Greg Haskin in the 72nd Assembly District)
This is a different spin on the usually strong ballot designation of Small Business Owner. Adding “Orange County” makes it clear the candidate’s business is in Orange County, so they’re employing people locally. The challenge for Republicans Baugh and Haskin is each of them are facing off against a Republican elected official: Congressman Dana Rohrabacher and Councilman Tyler Diep; plus there are well-funded Democrats for both seats. (Rohrabacher and Diep’s designations just weren’t eligible for this list since we are excluding the designations of elected officials.)
- Entrepreneur/Company President (Josh Lowenthal in the 72nd Assembly District)
There’s some good advice going on in the 72nd Assembly District when two of the candidates make this list and a third was simply ineligible because we are excluding the designations of elected officials. With Company President, FreeConferenceCall.com President Josh Lowenthal has conveyed to voters that he is not only a businessman but a rather successful one, and with the Entrepreneur portion, he’s showing he’s a self-made businessman.
- Technology CEO/Entrepreneur (Rachel Payne in the 48th Congressional District)
See above.

In prior elections, some of the most popular articles on OC Political in the run-up to elections are the ones identifying the partisan affiliations of candidates on the ballot. So back by popular demand, OC Political presents the political party affiliations of everyone running for everything on the June 5, 2018 Primary Election ballot in Orange County.
(Okay, this list is not everyone running for literally everything; it is everyone running for offices whose party affiliations are not shown on the ballot. If you want to know the party affiliation of candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Senate, House of Representatives, State Legislature, etc., just look on your ballot.)

District Attorney Tony Rackauckas (R-San Clemente), Supervisor Todd Spitzer (R-Orange),
and former Mayor Brett Murdock (D-Brea)
In the race for Orange County District Attorney, Supervisor Todd Spitzer (R-Orange) raised $103,953 more than incumbent District Attorney Tony Rackauckas (R-San Clemente) did in the second half of 2017, according to campaign finance reports filed last week. During the second half of 2017, Spitzer raised $234,077 while Rackauckas raised $130,124. In the first half of 2017, Rackauckas raised $195,300; Spitzer did not have a DA account yet, but raised $273,284 into his Supervisor account during that time. When Spitzer closed his Supervisor account, he also transferred $1,272,559 to his DA account.
Rackauckas spent $178,606 while Spitzer spent $139,233 on the DA’s race. This leaves Rackauckas with $209,513 cash on hand and Spitzer with $1,367,403 cash on hand, or $1,364,903 cash on hand after accounting for one $2,500 unpaid bill.
Former Mayor Brett Murdock (D-Brea) raised 3% of what Rackauckas did and 2% of what Spitzer did. Additionally, Murdock had no funds raised in prior periods, leaving him even further behind Rackauckas and Spitzer. With $3,848, Murdock will need to spend $2,680 to pay the DA candidate filing fee to the Registrar of Voters, leaving him with $1,168. Unfortunately for Murdock, the ballot statement payable to the Registrar of Voters costs $15,536. In other words, as of the end of 2017, Murdock’s $3,848 cash on hand was only 21% of the $18,216 he needs to pay the Registrar of Voters by March 9.

Councilman Steve Vargas (R-Brea)
Councilman Steve Vargas (R-Brea) is entering the race for the 39th Congressional District to succeed the retiring Ed Royce (R-Fullerton), becoming the seventh Republican (and fifth current or former elected official) candidate for the seat. He faces off against Orange County Supervisor Shawn Nelson (R-Fullerton), former Assemblywoman Young Kim (R-Fullerton), former Senate Republican Leader Bob Huff (R-Diamond Bar), Councilman Andrew Sarega (R-La Mirada), retired U.S. Navy Commander Mark Gaouette (R-Chino Hills), and perennial candidate John Cullum (R-Placentia). There are also seven Democrats in the CD-39 race.
With seven candidates from each party, CD-39 is virtually assured a traditional Republican vs. Democrat match-up in November, though candidates can still choose to enter or withdraw until March 14 for CD-39. (Filing for most Federal, State, and County offices ends March 9, but for those in which a sitting incumbent is neither seeking re-election nor termed out, filing ends March 14. At this point, for seats that cover portions of Orange County, the March 14 deadline appears to apply to CD-39, CD-49, State Treasurer, Board of Equalization, and County Board of Education Trustee Area 5.)
Six of the seven Republicans live in the 39th District. The sole exception is Sarega, whose entire city of La Mirada is in the 38th District, which is represented by Congresswoman Linda Sanchez (D-Whittier).
As a Brea Councilman, Vargas represents 24,000 of CD-49’s 368,000 voters, or 6.5% of all CD-49 voters. Currently a Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy Reserve, Vargas was first elected to the Brea City Council in 1998. He was defeated for re-election in 2002. He subsequently lost bids to the return to the Council in 2006, 2010, and 2012. In 2014, Brea voters finally returned Vargas to the City Council for a second term. Vargas’s Council seat is up for election in November, so if he made the top two in the CD-39 race, voters would fill his Council seat in the regular election, but if he failed to make the top two, he could choose to run for re-election to the City Council.
While the City of Brea is small, it has punched above its weight before. There was a pair of Brea school board members who served together in 1992-1994 when one was finishing up her last two years on the school board while the other was starting his first two years on the school board. One went on to serve six years on the City Council (1994-2000) while the other went on to serve six years on the Board of Supervisors (1996-2002). Both went on to serve three terms as Republican members of the State Assembly: Lynn Daucher and Todd Spitzer.
Vargas worked on Spitzer’s Supervisorial staff from 1998-2000. Vargas lost his 2010 election bid to the City Council by 461 votes to Brett Murdock (D-Brea). Vargas would return the favor by being one of the three candidates who unseated Mayor Murdock from the Council in 2014. Murdock is now running for District Attorney against Spitzer and incumbent Tony Rackauckas, whom Vargas has endorsed.

Former Brea Mayor Brett Murdock, who unsuccessfully challenged Congressman Ed Royce’s 2016 re-election bid, has become the third candidate to enter the race for District Attorney of Orange County. District Attorney Tony Rackauckas is running for re-election, and Orange County Supervisor Todd Spitzer has already announced his candidacy to unseat Rackauckas.
This came over the wire from the campaign of Brett Murdock for District Attorney…
WITHOUT FEAR OR FAVOR, LIFELONG ORANGE COUNTY RESIDENT AND ATTORNEY BRETT MURDOCK ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY
Orange County, CA – August 24, 2017 – Former Mayor of Brea, Brett Murdock, announces his candidacy for Orange County District Attorney, challenging Todd Spitzer and incumbent Tony Rackauckas.
Brett Murdock is running to restore integrity to the office of the District Attorney. He stated, “Orange County has seen a wave of corruption and disgrace in the District Attorney’s office because of Tony Rackauckas’s inability and unwillingness to play by the rules and uphold justice. I am running to restore dignity and trust in the District Attorney’s office.”
Brett Murdock is the former mayor of Brea, former member of the Brea City Council, and owns his own law practice. Given his experience working with county governance, Brett will bring stable leadership that is missing at the District Attorney’s office. Tony Rackauckas’s rule has prompted an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice, and, according to the Los Angeles Times, the District Attorney’s office has been “rocked by an ongoing scandal involving the use of jailhouse snitches and a steady stream of headlines about prosecutorial misconduct and overturned criminal cases.”
As an attorney, Brett regularly fights for victims of injustice and helps organizations that serve those in need. Brett has been a business owner for over 20 years. He will work hard to earn the respect of the over 700 professionals in the District Attorney’s office that work every day in the courtrooms and on the streets to protect our communities.
As District Attorney, Brett Murdock will bring a smart, tough, and victim oriented approach to crime and corruption. “It’s time for a change. We must dispense with the political infighting and favoritism that infects the District Attorney’s office and focus on the justice and fairness our county deserves.”
Brett Murdock was born in Anaheim and recently finished three years as an adjunct professor of American Government at Cal State Fullerton. He currently lives in Brea with his wife and two children.

The Orange County Sanitation District had a vote a couple of days ago that should anger all taxpayers over the huge rate increase that they have placed on the Orange County taxpayers. I was at the meeting and spoke about the increase and how it violated Proposition 218. The next day I made a records request from the Orange County Sanitation District and found out exactly how each voter cast their vote at the meeting so I could post it here. Just to further outrage Republicans I used the database that one of the Chrises created to show the party affiliation of each voter using colors.

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.
