Santa Ana Parks and Recreation Commissioner Tish Leon didn’t run for the DPOC Central Commitee this year
It is hard to believe, but no Latinos filed to run for the Democratic Party of Orange County’s (DPOC) Central Committee, in the 69th Assembly District, which includes Santa Ana and Anaheim, according to the Orange County Voter Registrar’s website.
None of the incumbents filed to run this year. Several Latino incumbents walked away from the Central Committee, including Zeke Hernandez, Tish Leon, and Lynette Verino. Other incumbents that did not pull papers included Stephen Bolinger, Eliah Gear, and Elaine Hoffman.
The only candidate who qualified to run this year was Art Hoffman. He came in last place in 2008, when he ran previously for the DPOC Central Committee.

Talk about apathy! You can’t blame the Gringos for this either. I hope the O.J. news team can get interviews with those who did not run as well as Frank Barbero. Who will appoint the people to fill the seats?
a is for apathy,
I spoke to a DPOC insider today. He said that the DPOC Central Committee will appoint candidates to fill the empty slots after the election.
Pretty lame…how can Santa Ana be a Dem stronghold and the Dems cannot even field any candidates for their own Central Committee?
Art..Re-check the ocvote.com web site. All 11 Republicans qualified.
a is for apathy,
I just checked. It is still showing that only four qualified. Perhaps on Monday they will update the site.
Art…Have you heard anything about the Tea Party trying to elect people to the Republican Central Committee to try to oust Scot Baugh? That’s the word on the street.
it’s tea time,
It is way past time to get rid of Baugh – and all the other consultants. Heads on a stick!
Art, So much for your theory that the Republican Party is washed up in Santa Ana. 11 people pulling papers is pretty impressive! I guess your “Paisanos” are smarter than you give them credit for as they want nothing to do with the Democrat Party – ROFLMAO!!!
And you still can’t get over your fixation with Tim Whitacre. Face it, Art, the man did an incredible job forcing Anthony Adams to not run for reelection and saving the taxpayers a million dollars for a recall election they don’t have to have now. Yeah…I’d day he failed too…ROFLMAO – AGAIN !!!
My husbands golfing buddy is on the Republican Central Committee and got this letter. Will your blog send a reporter to cover this?
“Dear Central Committee Members,
Over the past year, a substantial number of new activists have become engaged in local politics and the Orange County Republican Party. It is exciting to have so many new people involved – volunteers are the lifeblood of the party.
I have also fielded many questions from these activists about how our local Central Committee functions and our mission, and feel it would be beneficial to provide a forum for such questions to be asked and answered.
After the Central Committee adjourns this Monday, March 15, I will host a question and answer period for anyone who wants to participate. Please pass this email on to anyone you know who might have questions about our party, is interested in being involved, or might otherwise want to attend.
Scott Baugh
Chairman, Republican Party of Orange County”
