Muldoon is forced to correct his candidate's statement

     As you know, Don Wagner’s tenure as SOCCCD trustee is coming to a close. His last meeting will be in November, only three months away!
     Two men have declared their candidacy for the Area 2 office: former assistant DA and bankruptcy attorney Kevin Muldoon and educator “TJ” Prendergast.
     A while back, we posted both men’s candidate’s statements. Oddly, Muldoon, who has already been endorsed by the OC GOP, described himself as a “Business Owner/Educator” in his statement.
     We get the "business owner" part. But educator? There is nothing about his various biographies that explains that assertion. In what sense is he an educator?
     Earlier today, a reliable source called me and told me the following:
     He had called Muldoon and asked him about his “educator” claim.
     “Yes, I am an educator,” said Muldoon.
     “Yeah? Who do you teach for?”
     To make a long story short, Mr. Muldoon eventually stated that he teaches for the Lord. He is, it turns out, a Sunday School teacher. That's why he gets to call himself an "educator."
     My friend then suggested to Muldoon that his claim wouldn’t pass muster with the Registrar. Muldoon assured him that he had consulted an attorney, and it would.
     Well, according to my friend, Mr. Muldoon’s competitor, Mr. Prendergast, then contacted the OC Registrar of Voters and inquired into the koshertude of Muldoon’s "educator" claim. Evidently, the Registrar judged that Mr. Muldoon’s claim is south of kosher, and so now, I’m told, his “educator” self-description is to be deleted from his candidate’s statement.
     I just checked (here). It has indeed been deleted.
     Oh my.
     I wonder if Muldoon's Sunday School lessons ever cover the topic of lying?

Another lying Christian Republican! I'm shocked!

But I bet he does pray: in church, at future Scholarship, Graduation, Foundation, and Board of Trustee meetings.

But to whom does he pray: the gods of the Republican party? The Grand old Republic? Wall Street deities?
