Nelson Picks Up California GOP Endorsement
The state GOP has just endorsed Shawn Nelson for Orange County Supervisor. Here is the press release:
——-
SACRAMENTO, CA – This morning the Board of Directors of the California Republican Party voted to convey the official endorsement of the California Republican Party to Orange County Supervisor candidate Shawn Nelson. Last week, Nelson was overwhelmingly endorsed by the Orange County Republican Party, and the state organization followed suit, at the request of Scott Baugh, Chairman of the Orange County GOP.
“Republican voters in North Orange County should know that Shawn Nelson is official candidate of the local and state Republican parties,” said California Republican Party Chairman Ron Nehring. “With the unions already spending big bucks, and the presence of a viable Democrat in the race, it is critical that Republicans rally behind Nelson’s candidacy.”
California Republican Party Vice Chairman — South Jon Fleischman, who made the motion to endorse Nelson, had this to say about the vote, “It is critical that we elect Republicans to local office who understand the challenges presented by the insidious influence of public employee unions, and their insatiable appetite for unsustainable taxpayer-funded benefits. Shawn Nelson is clearly the candidate who is prepared to deal aggressively to curb the influence of public employee unions.”
Former Supervisor Norby is endorsing Nelson, as is U.S. Representative Ed Royce and many other Republican leaders, including Senator Mimi Walters, Supervisor Pat Bates and Supervisor John Moorlach. Last week the Orange County Republican Party officially endorsed Nelson.
Councilmember Shawn Nelson is a fiscal conservative who was elected to the Fullerton City Council in November 2002. He served as Mayor in 2004-05 and 2006-07. Nelson is a California native who was raised in Fullerton. The Sunny Hills High School graduate holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from USC, and a Juris Doctorate from Western State University College of Law. He was named the “Local Elected Official for 2009” by the Orange County Republican Party. Active in the community, Councilmember Nelson is a member of the Fullerton Elks Lodge and the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce. He is actively involved as a member of Zion Lutheran Church, is a sponsor and “Soccer Dad” for the Fullerton Rangers youth soccer club, and is head coach and a parent sponsor for Fullerton Pop Warner Football’s Junior Peewee Team.
I see that Fleischturd has managed to weasel his way on board the Nelson train. Don’t get too cozy.
Yeah, I noticed that too. Nelson can win without these pustules.
My advice to Nelson is not to let Fleischman come to his house with a video camera.
Let us not make an elephant out of a fly, comrades. Mr. Fleischman’s career as a filmmaker has come to an end.
Shawn doesn’t have to worry about that. He’s never carpetbagged before.
Mr. Nelson, myself and other like-minded fiscal conservatives who know big government spells big woes for our economy, I pray you strive for a wise and frugal government that chops away frivolous government agencies, collaboatives and ad hoc alphabet coalitions that only serve to bloat government and destroy its primary purpose to allow all of us to pursue our economic pursuit unfettered by rising taxes to feed those at the public trough.
GO NELSON!
Oh, this is bad for Jerbal and his boss John Lewis. I wonder how Harry supporters will feel about this, should they need the state GOP in the future for their own campaigns. Should have taken the time to look at the candidates before jumping on Carpetbagger Sidhu. See you at the victory party trying to make ammends…just like at Norby’s eh?
