42nd Assembly District candidate Mark Orozco (D-Beaumont) announced today the endorsement of Riverside County Auditor-Controller Paul Angulo.
"Mark Orozco has been working tirelessly to earn a seat in the Assembly. This is the kind of work ethic we need to see more of in our government. By endorsing Mark, I am voting for alternative leadership based on commitment, honesty, hard work and integrity. He is a man on a mission and will bring credit to our communities," Angulo said.
"I am humbled and honored to have the support of Paul Angulo as well as his full confidence," said Mark Orozco. "As the Riverside County Auditor-Controller, he has been a champion for ethics in government and a watchdog of tax payer dollars. As the next assemblyman, I am looking forward to working with Angulo on fiscal transparency and efficiency in the use of public funds. This is important for Riverside and it's important to our communities in a time of crisis and a demand for strong fiscal responsibility."
The endorsement follows that of State Controller John Chiang, who endorsed Orozco earlier this year.
I think you are being stereo typical and some of your past post here on the patch have been a little racist against Hispanics. I've met Mr. Orozco at a Dinner Fundraiser for our local Veterans and he sounded American to me...on how proud he was of his father and father-law serving in Vietnam for their country, even prouder with his brothers returning from Iraq, in protecting our freedoms, but most of all, giving opportunity - not handouts to many Hispanics or Mexican Americans in the United States. Shame on you Gary! That is an insult to me as a Veteran and a insult to my wife and kids who are Hispanic. Furthermore, I've never heard Mr. Orozco speak of not wanting to protect our boarders, but just the opposite. You are either misinformed or being untruthful! I can see, you are all about bringing a good man, an honest man, and a family man down because he happens to be Hispanic. Give Mr. Orozco a call and met with him before you go around and speak about his character. In the Marines, we call that a coward! I have faith, Mr. Orozco will represent me, my family, my neighbors, and most importantly my community no matter their race, gender, or political preference. To me...thats American and it says a lot about a man's character. "Hoo Rah!" Tristan Johnson Ret. USMC
Gary, who are you? You are nobody! Nobody with true creditability in our community! Tristan, thank you for your comments and thank you for your service! God Bless you and god bless America!
Well said! I am not the one to trample on ones constitutional rights, specially after fighting for them, but Gary and Mariana go way to far. Mr. McDonald has a good point and knows me pretty well. I am sure Gary is a good guy, but tends to throw unfounded accusations at me and Mark Orozco, anybody that threatens his way of life. If Gary only knew that I served as a boarder patrol officer for 5 years after the war before becoming a local business owner, he would watch his tongue. My advice to Gary! Do your homework! Don't believe in everything you read on the patch or in the papers, especially blogs like this one. Well documented facts, give me a break! Please don't insult me Gary, I have seen your past history of blogs on the patch...you have some nerve! Based on your past blogs, you get off on bringing down communities! You call your self an American! Please...don't insult me!!!!! By the way Gunnar, good luck on your school board race! Tristan Johnson Ret. USMC
