At last night’s meeting of the OC GOP Central Committee, Tim Whitacre’s challenge of chairman Scott Baugh to lead the Executive Board was rejected by the voting members in attendance. The final tally was 46 to 23.
There was a very close race for the contested position of First Vice Chair where there were three candidates. Jon Fleischman, Alan Bartlett and Debra Pauly. In the first round of voting Jon received 29 votes. He was followed by Allan Bartlett with 19 and Debra Pauly with 21. However, in the second round, the candidate with the fewest votes is removed from the ballot. Based on the second round voting the Bartlett supporters gave most of their votes to Debra as confirmed by her getting 36 votes to Fleischman’s 33 .
In the 2nd Vice Chair seat Mary Young defeated Craig Alexander in getting 42 votes to Craig’s 27.
Zonya Townsend defeated Ray Grangoff for Secretary where the final count was 37 to 32.
Treasurer Mark Bucher was unopposed and retains his post.
For Assistant Treasurer Pat Shuff squeaked by Jeff Mathews getting 37 votes to his 35.
As Jack Anderson moved out of state Norm Dickinson ran unopposed for Jack’s post of Sgt. at Arms.
The Parliamentarian is an appointed post. As such Kermit Marsh retains that position.
In a local election. The 71st AD caucus selected Mission Viejo resident Greg Woodard to serve the balance of Jack Anderson’s term.
How was the vote conducted – secret ballot or vote by intimidation (standup and yell)?
TtBO.
The election was by paper ballot
Larry,
Jack Anderson moved out of state? Where to? For a new job?
Hi Sean.
Jack moved to be close to family in the mid west. While having contact with him before his departure he had not made a decision on seeking a new job.
1,300 + words of acclaim from Matt “JUBAL” Cunningham, and still FLASHMAN does’nt get the votes!
What is less surpising is how Matt and company posted 13 different articles up to the vote, but not one after. STUNNINGLY, The LOC was the loudest voice, perhaps they have found one, and maybe their values are nearby (Hint: look behind the couch!).
Bye Jon!
Oh Yeah and Whitacres percentage………..downplayed by the handlers at “just 33%”, is just the amount needed to stop a TAX Increase in Sacramento. Ironic huh.
*So was Fleschman defeated? Did Debroah take his spot? Confusing article as to who won what by what.
What about Tom Fuentes…..did he vote?
Guess we will just have to go to the meeting to find out……”whose who in the zoo”!
rw
Serio, R&A? You can’t understand Larry’s article? Yes, the Fleshpot was defeated and skulked home in ignominy to continue his comedy career less appreciated than ever.
Oh, that’s too complicated. Fleischman was defeated.
The bad news is, it was by racist Villa Park teabagger Debra Pauly. You picks your poison in today’s GOP.
Brother Ron. We had this discussion off-line. While I did not attend the meeting I did speak to a few of the attendees to get the facts as reported.
How simple can we make it.
In the election, using paper ballots, Chairman Baugh defeated challenger Tim W getting 2/3rds of the votes cast.
For 1st VP no candidate received over 50 percent which forced a second round in which the third name drops out. While Jon F had the most votes in the first ballot, after Alan B was removed Jon lost to Debra P in that simple majority second round.
To me that report was black and white. No fluff, no interviews, just the facts sir.
