One of our pajaritos just gave us an interesting tip. Apparently Costa Mesa Councilwoman Katrina Foley, who this week voted to install an “In God We Trust” sign in her Council Chambers, is considering running for Orange County Clerk-Recorder.
Foley would be the second Democrat in the race for Clerk-Recorder. Termed out Buena Park Councilman Art Brown, who is a private investigator, is also running.
Foley is an attorney. That makes her a lot more qualified than Orange Councilman Jon Dumitru, who answers phones for the Orange County Fire Department, at night. Dumitru is a Republican who endorsed the failed Assembly candidate Linda Ackerman in this week’s 72nd Assembly District Special Election.
Neither Foley nor Dumitru are experienced in the Clerk-Recorder’s office. The best candidate so far in terms of experience is Hugh Nguyen, who worked for 12 years as the assistant to former Clerk-Recorder Gary Granville.
Nguyen is a Republican. So is Renee Ramirez, the assistant to current Clerk-Recorder Tom Daly, who is running for the 4th Supervisorial District. Ramirez is running to replace her boss. But Foley will likely quash her dreams by splitting the female vote.
Foley currently has her hands full trying to derail the sale of the Orange County Fairgrounds to a group of unethical, corrupt Republican insiders.
Foley is quite a talent. Sadly she cannot move up to the Assembly or the House of Representatives because the legislative districts she lives in are gerrymandered to favor Republican candidates. Her Mexican-hating fellow Councilman, Allan Mansoor, is the favorite to win the GOP nomination to replace Assemblyman Van Tran in the 68th Assembly District.
We wish Foley well. It is too bad she cannot move on to a legislative seat. It would also be fun to watch her run for the Board of Supervisors, but that district also is practically unwinnable for a Democrat like Foley.
Hey what’s with all the posts written by “Admin”? After all the pissing and moaning over anonymous commenters you’ve engaged in, it’s kinda hypocritical of you, is it not?
Just another Democrat hack who leverages her gender for political advantage.
can’t she just rent a room in another district?
Foley has done a commendable job on the Costa Mesa City Council. As much as her partisan detractors tried to pigeon hole her as a liberal tax and spend democrat, she has managed to leverage her local grass roots support to maintain her seat. Even Righeimer couldn’t displace her. She would certainly be a competent Clerk/Recorder. Can she win? Only if she can do some serious fundraising within OC’s campaign finance rules.
Just another Democrat hack who leverages her gender for political advantage.
Yeah, huh, Johnson. What the hell right does she have to run for office with ovaries and all? Not fair! Bitch.
how many people has Righeimer displaced?
Being an attorney is a qualification? I think not being an attorney would be a better one.
Renee Ramirez I can’t wait to see you get fired!
Anyone else beside Tom Daly will not keep you around. Enjoy it while you can because soon you and Tom Daly will be gone!
We will have a big party for you guys. This department needs a change!
I guess when you become a councilmember you can always look for a job at the clerk Recorder.
No experience needed! I just want a job until the next gig opens up. Doesn’t this remind you of Tom Daly!!!
Renee Ramirez is an idiot who is getting bad advised from Tom Daly to run for the Clerk-Recorder.
Tom Daly I hope Shawn Nelson wins this election. This will mean you will be out of a job. Thank God!
Renee Ramirez if Tom Daly leaves, you are not going to have a job either. You are not qualified to be Assistant
Clerk-Recorder. Your position was modified to meet your requirements. Shame on you!
I just wanted to remind you that you were put in the positon of Assistant Clerk-Recorder on Feb 22,2002. Darlene Bloom had to bring in another manager because you were not qualified to do your job (Remember)?
You are going to bring Tom Daly down with you!
Hey JOHNSON (#2)
Maybe to keep a level playing field, nobody should be allowed to run for office unless they have a JOHNSON.
BTW Katrina hasn’t decided whether she’s running or not yet, but she does want you all to come to her Dec. 2 soiree/benefit for Second Harvest, where I’m playing piano. (Post coming up)
Foley realy doesn’t want everyone to come to her soiree. Only those who are radical lefties like her. Otherwise she will ignore you and act all haughty like she is some sort of queen. Yuck!
Yuck indeed! Sure you’re not a dead-white-“girls-are-icky”-male? Just “come out,” we will all be supportive.
