• FUENTES + GREER.
Yesterday, we posted about the trustee race here in the South Orange County Community College District. I noted that someone named Arlene Greer was running against trustee Bill Jay (Laguna Beach, etc.). I said that I had little information on her, aside from her involvement in Newport Beach politics.
Something interesting popped up last night. Earlier, Chris Enami had posted on Red County/OC Blog about "Community College District Races,” noting who was running in each race. That post generated a few comments.
But then, last night, “Anonymous” wrote:
district three ought to be interesting, arlene greer has the endorsements of pat bates, ed royce, tom fuentes and many more. she paid for a ballot statement which will help significantly. and, rumor has it that she is a very good fundraiser,,,
Naturally, I have no way of knowing whether Anonymous knows what he/she is talking about. But it certainly could be true, and this sort of thing was expected. (UPDATE: See next post: her candidate statement confirms that Greer is on Team Fuentes.)
In any case, it will be very difficult for any challenger to beat the incumbent, who has done nothing that can easily be exploited.
The following is listed under "upcoming events" at the website for the Orange County Republican Party:
