Anaheim City Councilwoman Lorri Galloway announced her plans to run for Fourth District supervisor today during a conversation with Red County’s Matthew Cunningham.
Galloway told Cunningham that she plans to be the only Democrat on the ticket, and warned former Anaheim Mayor and current Clerk-Recorder Tom Daly, also a Democrat, against running against her.
“If I were him, I wouldn’t, and I’m going to do everything I can to get his endorsements,” she told Cunningham.
Daly had been considered the strongest democratic candidate for the job. If he doesn’t run, then he may keep his position as the O.C. Clerk-Recorder.
That could mess up a carefully choreographed game of musical chairs for Fourth District Supervisor Chris Norby. Norby is running for clerk-recorder, presumably filling the seat Daly leaves open when he moves into the Fourth District supervisor job.
But if Daly stays, where will that leave Norby and his opponent Hieu Nguyen?
Also vying for the Fourth District seat: Democrat Rose Espinoza and Republicans Harry Sidhu and Shaun Nelson.
Oh my gosh. I hope a Democrat gets the supe’s office.
I am thoroughly disgusted with the all Republican Board of Supervisors that have been running this county. We haven’t had fair representation for years and at least with a few Democrats it will be more fair. I am not saying that Democrats will do a better job, but at least we will all be represented. As it stands now, the present Supes have been continually giving tax breaks and waiving fees, draining our county funds and then saying we need to budget.
