Get your Surfboards ready…I think it is coming. (Quick Reference at the bottom to avoid the blathering)
So my picks are local, but my interests are with AZ. Kari Lake is the my kind of candidate. She knows the biz like no other …and is pissed at the lies she was forced to say from her editors in the last couple years. She hit the campaign like a fireball and hasn’t let up. AZ was a shit show in 2020, but had enough reasonable people to perform the audit…but not the courage to act on it. Trump Won 2020…I still believe that…the fraud was immense…and hopefully everyone will see one day. But for now…California…

On to the locals:
Mayor of Long Beach: Suzie Price
She is an Orange County Assistant D.A. and current 3rd District Councilwoman. She’s been endorsed by the LBPD and, most importantly, Bob Foster. As Mayor, Suzie Price will preserve our neighborhoods and quality of life.
District 3 LB City Council : Kristina Duggan
She has worked and raised her family in the 3rd District of Long Beach. Kristina was instrumental in electing Suzie Price as 3rd District Councilperson.
District 5 LB City Council: Ian Patton
He is President of the Long Beach Reform Coalition. He is dedicated to holding the Council and Mayor accountable to residents, not special interests. He has been active on numerous issues OPPOSING the sales tax increase, the illegal water tax transfer, the destruction of single-family zoning, and the defunding of the police.
District 9 LB City Council-There are no good choices
LA County Sheriff : Alex Villanueva
I did not want him when he first ran…but I am pleasantly surprised how well he handles the office. He now has my full support. He is the current Sheriff and a proven law & order leader that won’t allow the left-wing radicals to control his department. He believes in the 2nd Amendment rights and favors Concealed Carry Weapon issuance that allows honest citizens to protect themselves. He will stand up to the Gascon regime that has created the havoc we are seeing by putting criminals back on the streets without any consequences for their crimes.
LA County Water Replenishment Board, Div. 3: Mike Murchison
He is a Long Beach native who has spent his personal and professional life serving his community. Mike will bring his expertise with Commercial Development issues to provide innovative solutions to the problem of water sustainability.
