[Note: this is from my perspective as a reformist anti-klepto Democrat; other perspectives will differ.]
- Orange County Water District Division 2 — run against Denis Bilodeau!
- MWDOC Water Board District 1 — North OC. Bad match-up. Needs a reformer
- Rancho Santiago Community College District, Area 1 (Zeke Hernandez) — currently empty
- Rancho Santiago Community College District, Area 5 (was Claudia Alvarez) — currently empty
- Santa Ana Unified School District — Rigo Rodriguez has to show up
- Orange Unified School District, Area 2 — incumbent has filed; challenger hasn’t
- Los Alamitos Unified School District, Area 4
- Los Alamitos Unified School District, Area 5
- Tustin USD Area 4 — seemingly unknown sole candidate
- Rossmoor Community Services District — must ensure good opposition to Jeffrey Barke
More will likely occur to me after I have time to look at cities — check out your city now!
Got your attention, didn’t it?
About Greg Diamond
Somewhat verbose attorney, semi-disabled and semi-retired, residing in northwest Brea. Occasionally ran for office against jerks who otherwise would have gonr unopposed. Got 45% of the vote against Bob Huff for State Senate in 2012; Josh Newman then won the seat in 2016. In 2014 became the first attorney to challenge OCDA Tony Rackauckas since 2002; Todd Spitzer then won that seat in 2018. Every time he's run against some rotten incumbent, the *next* person to challenge them wins! He's OK with that.
Corrupt party hacks hate him. He's OK with that too.
He does advise some local campaigns informally and (so far) without compensation. (If that last bit changes, he will declare the interest.)
His daughter is a professional campaign treasurer. He doesn't usually know whom she and her firm represent. Whether they do so never influences his endorsements or coverage. (He does have his own strong opinions.) But when he does check campaign finance forms, he is often happily surprised to learn that good candidates he respects often DO hire her firm. (Maybe bad ones are scared off by his relationship with her, but they needn't be.)
