After reading campaign materials and watching interviews of all the candidates, here is my opinion on the race for Orange County Property Appraiser.

     I received Amy Mercado's flyer for Orange County Property Appraiser in the mail and it was depressing. I decided to review her campaign web site and became disillusioned and even a bit angry. I wondered why Amy Mercado would completely disrupt their life's work to run for an office that she's surely not qualified for and in an industry that she has never shown any interest?

Monique Worrell for State Attorney
If you watched the debate tonight you may remember that I was asked a question about my experience as a prosecutor.

Hello FB Friends & Family,
Out of respect for my wife I stayed silent about the State Attorney race because her Chief Assistant is running, and I knew it could create tension. But my silence ends today. I can't be silent while our community is hurting and she's taking shots that minimize the work that has been done. I watched how she distanced herself from Aramis and it didn't feel good. She did her job as Chief Assistant, but nothing more, in my opinion. I think our community deserves someone who is bold about the need to build on the past few years.
