2012 Primary Results and Some Personal Thoughts

A week after the June Primary Election, results show that I didn’t quite make it on to the Central Committee.

Although, there’s a little less than 18,000 ballots left to count throughout the county, I’m certain to gain more however, whatever remaining ballots are left won’t be enough to flip the results in my favor. It happens. Out of 17 candidates, I squarely ended up in the middle of the pack.

In fact, the final 6th place spot could go to either Clinton Soffer or Scott Rieker with 93 votes separating them. Continue reading

2012 Clairemont Garden Tour & Expo Video

As President of the Clairemont Town Council, it’s an honor to help provide support and guidance to the Council’s Garden Tour Committee, which works to organize the annual Clairemont Garden Tour — a fundraising event for the Council that helps fund our community improvement grants.

This year, an Expo was added to the day-long event located at the beautiful SDG&E Energy Innovation Center at 4760 Clairemont Mesa Blvd.

Thanks to our main sponsor this year, Janett Lewis, she was able to capture much of the event in the following YouTube video — featuring interviews with homeowners,  Garden Tour Committee Chair Dana Sortwell, and myself.

Riordan, who served as Mayor of Los Angeles from 1993-2001, earned as much as 60% of the Latino vote throughout his tenure as mayor of the nation’s second largest city.

Despite an unsuccessful gubernatorial run in 2002, Riordan continues to remain a pillar within the Republican Party — and he understands the need to include in this all-important demographic into our party.

As do I.  Continue reading

Wonk Wire: News for Public Policy Geeks

Earlier this month, Taegan Goddard — a nationally respected politico — publicly launched Wonk Wire.

Much like Goddard’s well-established Political Wire (a site I admittedly check out everyday), which provides the latest in national political news, whereas Wonk Wire provides an up-to-date avenue on the latest news and tidbits on national public policy. Congressional staffers, policy advisors, and think-tankers can rejoice in this site, for sure. Continue reading
