Your intrepid blogger did not make it out to Central Committee tonight, but multiple people present are reporting that Deputy District Attorney Karen Lee Schatzle has won the Republican Party of Orange County’s endorsement in her bid to unseat Superior Court Judge Scott Steiner.
The vote was 24-7 to endorse Schatzle after the Endorsements Committee had recommended no endorsement.
With absentee ballots already out, Schatzle will need to move quickly if she is going to make voters aware of this endorsement.
Also endorsed were Representative Ed Royce for the 39th Congressional District and Ofelia Velarde-Garcia for 69th Assembly District.
