Posted by Former Blogger 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.

2012 School Board Party Affiliation Post

Posted by Former Blogger Chris Emami on November 16, 2012

As promised, I have now put together a database for the School Board members and their party affiliation based on who will be serving post election. Based on results in a couple of races being close, this list may change before it goes up on the website permanently.

If anybody reading this finds an error (like the situation where I thought Wendy Leece ran unopposed for NMUSD) please let me know so I can fix it.

Here is the database: Read the rest of this entry »

Tim Jemal for South OC Community College District Fundraiser & OC Tax endorsement

Posted by Thomas Gordon on September 25, 2012

Disgraced former OC Public Guardian John Williams who resigned not only as a community college trustee, but as OC Public Guardian is attempting to regain his seat on the South Orange County Community College District.

Chris Nguyen wrote a detailed post here

The one guy standing in his way is Tim Jemal, who is having a fundraiser this evening from 5:30 – 8:00 pm at Il Fornaio, 18051 Von Karman Ave in Irvine.

Mr. Jemal has also picked up the endorsement of Reed Royalty and the Orange County Taxpayers Association as noted in the press release attached below.

OCTaxPAC Endorses Tim Jemal for South Orange County Community College District Trustee
Lake Forest, Calif.-The Orange County Taxpayers Association Political Action Committee (OCTaxPAC) is proud to endorse candidate Tim Jemal for South Orange County Community College District.

“The Orange County Taxpayers Association Political Action Committee (OCTaxPAC) is proud to endorse Tim Jemal for Trustee of the South Orange County Community College District. We realize how important districts such as this are for the County and taxpayers.” said Reed Royalty, advisory member to OCTaxPAC. “We believe that Tim will be a great asset to the District and be committed to utilizing each and every tax dollar in the most cost efficient way feasible.”

Currently, Mr. Jemal is a small business owner in Orange County and has been active in the South Orange County community volunteering with the PTA, Saddleback Valley YMCA and conducting business mentoring.

“OCTax is a highly effective advocate on behalf of Orange County taxpayers. I am very pleased to have their support,” said Jemal. “As a fiscal conservative, I am committed to ensuring our precious tax dollars provide world-class education at Saddleback and Irvine Valley Colleges and the Advanced Technology and Education Park (ATEP).”

The Orange County Taxpayers Association (OCTax) is the taxpayers’ advocate on many public policy issues in Orange County. OCTax was co-founded in 1986 by Reed Royalty. Its mission is to ensure that taxes and tax-supported programs are fair, understandable, cost-effective, and good for the economy. OCTaxPAC is a separate organization that is sponsored by OCTax.

Take a peek at Tim’s website here and encourage your friends to vote for Tim.

South Orange Community College District: Fuentes & Meldau Out, Wright Unopposed, Williams Unimpeded Return?

In the South Orange County Community College District, the Trustee Area 6 race went from being one of Orange County’s most interesting to a single-candidate affair, as neither Jolene Fuentes nor Julie Davis filed, leaving appointed incumbent James Wright unopposed at the end of candidate filing. After Trustee Tom Fuentes, Chairman Emeritus of the Republican Party of Orange County, died in May, Wright was appointed to the seat in June (effective July 1) despite the efforts of Jolene Fuentes to gain the appointment to her husband’s seat.  Wright was the sole candidate to complete filing, and so, his race will not even appear on the ballot.

In Trustee Area 7, appointed incumbent Frank Meldau opted to call it quits after less than two years in office.  Meldau had been appointed to the seat in January 2011 after Trustee John Williams resigned in December 2010.  Williams was also the Orange County Public Administrator until his resignation/unresignation/reresignation in January 2012.  With Meldau opting not to file for re-election, the filing period is extended until 5 PM on Wednesday, August 15.  Williams filed to run for his old seat on Wednesday, August 8.  Tim Jemal pulled papers on Thursday, August 9 but has not yet filed them.  If Jemal or someone new doesn’t file, then Williams will walk back into his old seat, despite the chaos of his resignations from two elected offices in the past 20 months.

In Area 1, Trustee Dave Lang faces off against challenger David L. Martin, who works as an attorney in Newport Beach.  Most of Newport Beach is in the Coast Community College District.

In Area 3, Trustee Bill Jay faces off against two opponents: Graduate Student Researcher Jennifer J. Long and Businesswoman/Arts Commissioner Arlene Greer.   Jay defeated Greer 62.5%-37.5% in 2008.  Long and Greer will split the anti-incumbent vote and the gender vote.
