Mayor Sam Exclusive: The Wendy Carrillo Campaign "DISAPPEARS" Endorsement of Richard Polanco ........, while continuing to EMBRACE support of Jose Huizar

In a Mayor Sam Exclusive, we expose the HYPOCRISY of the Wendy Carrillo Campaign's "DISAPPEARING" of its Endorsement by former State Senator Richard Polanco ....... while still embracing the support of CD-14 City Councilman Jose Huizar. Meanwhile ........, the Luis Lopez Campaign garners Endorsements from The La Opinion Newspaper, UTLA and former Candidate Ron Birnbaum. 
The Outing ........, then Disappearing of former State Senator Richard Polanco's Endorsement of the Wendy Carrillo (the former Huizar Staffer) Campaign.

TGIF Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine ........ and beyond

In the wake of the graphic,"Bathroom-based Testimony" from Sacramento K Street Lobbyist Pamela Lopez, regarding Sexual Harassment/Inappropriate Behavior via State Officeholders and Staff, the Mayor Sam Blog has received a reliable TIP on the identity of the "Sitting Officeholder of Interest"
Sacramento K Street Lobbyist Pamela Lopez testifying before Assembly Sub-Committee on Sexual Harassment. 
** Blogger's Notes: Dreading the whispers .........., we respect the stance of Sacramento K Street Lobbyist Pamela Lopez , who showed GENUINE courage in testifying about her alleged, Bathroom Encounter with a "Sitting Elected Official" last year, in NOT revealing the Identity the Politico involve .........., after all, the Whispering Network is multi-directional. Just by her testifying before the Assembly Sub-committee entrusted with vetting the past indiscretions, and hopefully, the entity that gives birth to needed reforms. Lopez will always be the "FACE (and voice)" that hopefully raises the decibel level of the Whispering Network (that has provided this blog with alleged IDENTITY of Lopez's Harasser), that should not be the recipient of a similar "Retaliation Network" .........., when EXPOSING those engaging in Sexual Harassment/Inappropriate Conduct-----Scott Johnson.

HOT Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine (and Beyond) for Hump Day

As First Term 43rd Assembly District Assemblywoman Laura Friedman presides over a Sub-committee investigating Sexual Harassment and Inappropriate Conduct in the State Political Workplace, we repost the INFAMOUS "Break a Rib Video" of her predecessor (and 2018 State Treasurer Candidate) Mike Gatto, hazing colleague Matt Dababneh in 2014.
Will newly-elected 43rd AD Assemblywoman Laura Friedman investigate the "Background" of her predecessor Mike Gatto's "Hazing/Jock Talk Video"?
From the Late Michael Higby on August 13, 2014: The little SFVYD kids can't keep from talking and emailing us. Sounds like some pretty interesting "extra-curricular" activities may have lead to the breaking of ribs. Do the voters know they've got a bunch of frat boys in office?
** Blogger's Notes: On the morning where NBC's Matt Lauer and PBS's Garrison Keillor became the latest purged for Sexual Misconduct in the Workplace, we offer this TIMELY Video Flashback to 2014 when a, NOW 2018 California State Treasurer Candidate (and then Assemblyman) Mike Gatto, engage in "BREAK A RIB JOCK TALK (link here for further background)" on the Floor of the Legislature. If anyone needed a visual example behind the dysfunctional mentality that created the hostile environment for women in Sacramento, they only need to view the facial expression of the former Assemblyman ..........., not fit for State-wide Office in 2018.

BEWARE of the supposed Trusted Leader's (and Wife) Special Interests Contributors.
** Blogger's Notes: As the Special Election Race for 51st Assembly District Seat vacated by the, NOW 434th-ranking Congressman Jimmy Gomez, enters its last full week, the re-branded Political Entity known as "Team Huizar", has given its alleged, "TRUSTED (to pay their Property Taxes on time? but we digress) Endorsement" ......., to Wendy Carrillo. Befitting all pronouncements from the ,NOW "Team Huizar", the end result is two-fold, the victory of the ANOINTED Candidate of Choice ........, and MOST paramount, the marketing of the alleged "Team Huizar's Political Heir Apparent". But not to be forgotten in the Team Huizar's Endorsement of the former CD-14 Staffer (via a Mailer from the "Community Support PAC"), are the DUBIOUS entities contributing to front Team Huizar's  ........., and the CADEM Establishment/Special Interests United Candidate of Choice-------Scott Johnson.

Honoring THOSE who Truthfully Commented on a VERY Public Display of Abusive Conduct against a Female in the Political Workplace

 As true Women of Character, locally and nationally, confront the Predators from their abusive past, we remember THOSE who truthfully-commented on an infamous 2009 Public Act of Inappropriate Conduct directed a Female Staffer .........., that was a co-worker then of, NOW 51st Assembly District Candidate Wendy Carrillo.  
Will, NOW 51st AD Candidate Wendy Carrillo ever break her SILENCE regarding the infamous August, 2009 Public Act of Inappropriate/Abusive Conduct against former CD-14 Co-worker Celina Mancia by, THEN Boss (and current Endorser) City Councilman Jose Huizar? 
** Blogger's Notes: For reasons VERY PERSONAL to this writer, the Mayor Sam Blog will always be a Cyber-refuge for Women who have been abused, mistreated, retaliated against ........, and seek to empower/heal themselves by confronting their tormentors. BLUNTLY, a man is merely a soulless persona (think Harvey Weinstein and a GROWING list of others), if he resorts to using his influence (along with perceived power) to verbally and physically accost Women, in unwanted acts of self-indulgence. In August of 2009, many were in attendance during the National Night Out Event at the, THEN newly-reconstructed Hollenbeck Police Station, when CD-14 City Councilman Jose Huizar erupted into a VERBAL TIRADE directed at, NOW ex. Staffer Celina Mancia (who is presently the wife of Assemblyman Miguel Santiago). Eight years later, we still remember the multiple phone calls from VERY reliable eyewitnesses ............ and the comments posted in the aftermath. Those comments vividly described a POLITICO engaging in conduct that could have resulted in legal action ..........,and it was not surprising that the VICTIM soon vacated her position. Simply, those who's CHARACTER was the foundation for repudiating the actions of Councilman Huizar in writing, are to be commended , while the male and female staffers including Ana Cubas, Sara Hernandez and WENDY CARRILLO, need to be outed for their continuing SILENCE ........., regarding a DOCUMENTED, past "Suspect" in a Sexual Assault------Scott Johnson.

Mayor Sam Exclusive: CADEM Establishment Rigging State Party Endorsement in 51st Assembly District Runoff Election?

In a Mayor Sam Exclusive, we have learned that the California Democratic Party will be hosting a "51st Assembly District Post Primary Endorsing Caucus" tomorrow (Saturday) in East LA, to allegedly, "strong-arm" the Official Party Endorsement, on behalf of the Establishment Wing Candidate of Choice ........., Wendy Carrillo.  
The California Democrat Party Establishment Wing Candidate Anointment Tour continues with State Senate President Kevin Alexander Leon endorsing Wendy Carrillo. 
** Blogger's Note: In a Mayor Sam Exclusive, we have learned that the Establishment Wing of the Democratic Party is seeking to allegedly, "strong-arm/fast-track/rigged", the Official California Democratic Party Endorsement for supposed "Berniecrat" Wendy Carrillo .........., as THOUSANDS of ballots remain uncounted from last Tuesday's 51st Assembly District Special Election.
The California Democratic Party (CADEM) will host a "Assembly District 51 Special Election Post Primary Endorsing Caucus" tomorrow morning at the East LA Boys and Girls Club (10 A.M.) and there is RAMPANT speculation that the ESTABLISHMENT wants to quickly anoint Wendy Carrillo as its candidate of choice ..........., but one problem, the election results are NOT finalized.
Ideally, the process of endorsing a Party (Establishment) Candidate, would be predicated on a final determination regarding who placed first and second in an election, but its been an open secret that the Local Labor-controlling Machine within the Establishment Wing of the FRACTURED California Democratic Party, has been fronting Carrillo.
That stated, the Los Angeles County Registrar Recorder will be updating its Election Count today at 1 P.M. ........, but don't bet against an Establishment Machine in regards to delaying the anointment of its choice to replace the 434th ranking Congressman Jimmy Gomez in Sacramento------Scott Johnson.

Unofficially, its Carrillo and Lopez in December 51st AD Runoff

Its still Unofficial, but as of Wednesday A.M. Wendy Carrillo and Luis Lopez will be the December Runoff Candidates seeking to replace the, NOW 434th-ranking Congressman Jimmy Gomez, as the 51st Assembly District Officeholder.
Apparently, its TRUE Progressive Luis Lopez vs. the Establishment/Special Interest Darling Wendy Carrillo in the December, 51st Assembly District Runoff. 
** Blogger's Notes: DISCLAIMER!! The results of yesterday's 51st Assembly District Special Election (with an abysmal 10% Turnout) are still unofficial, but its apparent that once again, Home-grown Candidate Luis Lopez will be facing an Establishment Challenger ........., who recently moved into the District (from Boyle Heights) Wendy Carrillo in a December Runoff.
Pardon the Deja Vu Political Moment, but the upcoming December Runoff has a familiar bloggin plot line, with Luis Lopez again assuming the role of Home Grown Candidate, seeking to rebuff the Political Establishment's anointment of its chosen candidate.
The Wendy Carrillo Campaign may seek to deny the assertion regarding the former Dakota Pipeline Protester, turned second-time Public Office Seeker (within weeks of her failed Congressional aspirations), that the supposed Bernie Sanders follower has gone ESTABLISHMENT. 
But her SILENCE regarding the BIG OIL/ENERGY/TIMBER financing of a PAC that contributed $60,000-plus to the Working Families for Wendy Carrillo Independent Expenditure Committee, is already having adverse ramifications in the Sanders-supporting Assembly District.
That stated, the upcoming Runoff Campaign has a high probability to become what the preceding Congressional Campaign was NOT ............., a TRUE Progressive vs. Establishment Democrat Political Skirmish that could have a profound impact on the future of California's CONTROLLING political party-----Scott Johnson.

** AFTERNOON UPDATE: The 434th Ranking Congressman Jimmy Gomez (formerly of Riverside) has endorsed fellow Establishment Democrat Wendy Carrillo in the December Runoff.

“Wendy Carrillo will make an excellent Assembly member for the people I represented in the California state Legislature,” Gomez said in a statement. “She is a proven working-class progressive who understands that she must represent everyone in the 51st District."

Early 51st AD Special Election Results (Absentee Ballots)

In the initial tally of Absentee Ballots for the 51st Assembly District Special Election, Los Angeles Community College District Board of Trustee Member Mike Fong, has a 404 vote lead over Luis Lopez .........., with Wendy Carrillo CLOSELY trailing by 92 ballots.
LACCD Trustee Mike Fong (right) can smile (for now) via his early lead in tonight's 51st Assembly District Special Election.
** Blogger's Notes: DISCLAIMER ALERT!! For those few who cared to have voted in today's 51st Assembly District Special Election, PLEASE do not expect a final determination this evening regarding the CERTAIN December Runoff aspirants. with the initial tally of the Absentee Ballots, LACCD Board of Trustees Member (and former CD-1 and Mayor Villar Staffer) Mike Fong, has parleyed his numerous community contacts .........., into a 404 lead over second place candidate Luis Lopez.
But the Lopez Campaign cannot relax in being assured of a position in the December Runoff, via the CLOSE third place position of Wendy Carrillo, who only trails by 92 votes. 
The initial count of the Absentee Ballots, denotes a separation of Fong, Lopez and Carrillo from the rest of the twelve candidates field, with Gabriel Sandoval being the ONLY other candidate to break double-digits in percentage of votes.
Thus, with the ABYSMAL voter turnout today, EVERY ballot will need to be counted in the days ahead to finalize the candidates for December's Runoff-----Scott Johnson

Mayor Sam Exclusive: 51st AD Candidate David Vela Paying AB-109 Parolees To Phone Bank?

In a Mayor Sam Exclusive, we disclose that the David Vela Campaign is allegedly using "AB-109 Low Level, Non-Violent Paroles (associated with Victory Outreach)", as phone bankers, rising serious questions whether confidential voter information is being disclose to convicted felons. 
51st Assembly District Candidate David Vela.
** Blogger's Notes: The Mayor Sam Blog has learned from a VERY RELIABLE Source that the 51st Assembly Campaign of former Montebello Unified School Board Member David Vela, is allegedly using "AB-109 Low Level-Non Violent Paroles (associated with a Victory Outreach Ministry)", to phone bank voters before next Tuesday's Special Election. 
According to the Source, a registered voter received a Phone Call from the David Vela Campaign, that inquired whether the voter would be incline to support the former Montebello School Board Member. 
The voter responded by asking about Candidate Vela's position on AB-109 Prison Realignment, which played a major role in the recent death of Whittier Police Officer Keith Boyer ....., and was SHOCKED to learn that the Campaign Phone Banker was a recent AB-109 Low Level, Non Violent Parolee associated with a Victory Outreach Ministry.
If verified, the use of Convicted Felons, errrrr, "AB-109, Low Level, Non Revocable Violent Paroles" as Phone Bankers, raises serious concerns regarding the access of confidential voter (included members of Law Enforcement) information by those with a criminal record.
That stated, the fact that the Vela Campaign is allegedly using Victory Outreach-associated Paroles as Phone Bankers, is NOT SURPRISING, when noting Candidate Vela past (and present) association with dubious characters of Southeast LA County Politics.
Video of Illegal Campaigning by Victory Outreach in recent Commerce City Council Elections.
After the first 51st AD Candidate Forum at Eagle Rock High School, a Longtime Political Observer in handicapping the aspirants seeking to replace, NOW Congressman Jimmy Gomez, noted that Candidate Vela was being supported by Gil Cedillo Jr. (who's Dad endorsed the Vela Campaign) ......, and the INFAMOUS Mario Beltran (who is currently the alleged Puppet Master of the Huntington Park City Council). 
In recent days, sources tell Mayor Sam that controversial Montebello School Board Member Hector Chacon (and his Political Family), is also helping with the Vela Campaign, which would provide the link to Victory Outreach, via equally-controversial brother Central Basin Water District Director Art Chacon.
From the Los Angeles Times in 2012 ........., the Chacons have also relied at times on Victory Outreach, a church that ministers to former gang members. The family uses church volunteers as ground troops to answer phones, pass out campaign literature and help with get-out-the-vote efforts. Family committees have paid more than $10,000 in campaign funds to the church since 2003, records show.
2015 Los Cerritos News Ad for David Vela and Edgar Cisneros Montebello Unified School Board Campaign.
More recent, the LA Weekly in an expansive EXCLUSIVE on the Hews Media Group (and its Publisher/Editor Brian Hew's CLOSE relationship with Hector Chacon) disclosed that Montebello Unified School District (under the, THEN leadership of Vela, Chacon and endorser Edgar Cisneros), approved $27,000 in ad buys for the Hews Media Group ............, which ENDORSED Vela in his unsuccessful, Re-election Campaign in 2015-----Scott Johnson.

A Bloggin Clear Cutting of a RL Miller Facebook SPIN Posting regarding 51st AD Candidate Wendy Carrillo's "Funding Pipeline of Hypocrisy (with funding from Big Timber)"

We engage in a thematic, Clear Cutting Deconstruction of "Climate Hawks Vote" Co-owner R.L. Miller's Facebook Post (ie. myopic Spin), regarding the ALLEGED smearing of 51st Assembly District (AD) Candidate Wendy Carrillo, via the FACTS of Big Oil, Energy ........, and TIMBER's funding of her Campaign-supporting "Women in Power (WIP) PAC".
WATER IS SACRED ........, before Wendy's BIG TIMBER contributors clear cut its cleansing watershed.
** Blogger's Notes: With NO apologies to a certain "R.L. Little" of the Climate Hawks Vote Super PAC, we engage in a thematic, Clear Cutting Deconstruction of her Facebook Post/SPIN to our alleged, bloggin smearing of 51st AD Candidate Wendy Carrillo yesterday (Wednesday). For the record, we have cut and pasted Little's comments in whole ........., and we (BOLD) our responses to her keyboard utterances-----Scott Johnson.    

I want to talk about smearing (spin speak for outing inconvenient facts) of a candidate. I've been contacted by multiple people, both pro and con, regarding Wendy Carrillo, candidate for 51st Assembly District, and whether she's taken money from Chevron or not. I dug into the claims behind a particular blog post, and found some facts.
A Clear Cutting Deconstruction through the Spin Forest.
The women's caucus in the legislature (Nancy Skinner, Laura FriedmanCristina Garcia, etc) has a PAC, Women in Power PAC, to elect - wait for it - more women (women, like men, can serve the wishes of the financing Special Interests). The PAC is bipartisan. It's taken in $109,500 from January 1, 2017 to July 31, 2017, and it raised that money from a lot of different places. It's taken in $5,000 from Chevron in June 2017. It's also taken in $5,000 each from the Cal Nurses Association PAC (you know, the pro-SB562 people), the SEIU United Healthcare workers PAC, the classified school employees union, and the building trades PAC, among many many other donors. (PLUS, $5,000 each from Sempra, Calpine, Chevron and PG & E ......., equaling 20% of the total donations)
TIMBER!! The California Forestry Association contribution to the Wendy Carrillo-supporting "WIP PAC".  

The women's PAC has contributed $4,400 to Carrillo's campaign - the maximum it can legally contribute (TRUE).

The women's PAC has also donated $31,250 (FALSE, its over $60,000 ......, equaling 60% of the contributions) to a PAC supporting Carrillo. This is known as an independent expenditure or IE in Sacramento language. This happens ALL THE TIME. The PAC supporting Carrillo decides how to spend the money (Rusty Hicks concurs, allegedly).
TIMBER!! The Humboldt Redwood (harvesting) Company contribution to the Wendy Carrillo-supporting "WIP PAC". 

This doesn't prove that Carrillo takes money from Chevron. It proves that Carrillo takes money from a PAC whose stated goal is electing more (enabling political) women to the legislature and which solicits money from sources as ideologically diverse as Chevron and the nurses' union (PLUS, money from Big Energy ....., and Big TIMBER).

That's all.
I don't have a dog in this fight; I haven't endorsed, either on behalf of Climate Hawks Vote or personally. I just want to see the fiercest climate hawks (with the backing of Spotted Owl-killing Big TIMBER Corporations?) win every election. And I want Democrats to be honest with each other rather than smear each other (kinda like Billary rigging the Democratic Primary against Comrade Bernie, but I digress).
TIMBER!! The Spotted Owl-despising Sierra Pacific Industrie's contribution to the Wendy Carrillo-supporting "WIP PAC".  
And yes, I'll be speaking w/ whoever runs WIP PAC as to whether it should be taking money from Chevron at all (what about Big Energy ......, TIMBER?) .
Read the facts (via), not the over-the- blog posts ......., (such as Mayor Sam ;) ;))
Hopefully this Clear Cutting, Blogging Deconstruction will help RL Miller view the TRUTH behind Candidate Carrillo's Surrogate's fiscal priming of their "Funding Pipeline of Hypocrisy".

Mayor Sam Exclusive: "The Wendy Carrillo Campaign Funding Pipeline of Hypocrisy"

In a Mayor Sam Exclusive, we disclose the "Campaign Contribution Pipeline of Hypocrisy (funded in part by Big Energy Corporations)", that have joined with SEIU in financing a $300,000-plus Independent Expenditure (IE) Committee, supporting 51st Assembly District (AD) Candidate (and noted Dakota Access Pipeline Protester) Wendy Carrillo.  
51st AD Candidate Wendy Carrillo (center) with fellow Dakota Access Pipeline/Standing Rock Protesters during her two month sojourn in North Dakota.
** Blogger's Notes: In a Mayor Sam Exclusive, we disclose the monetary collusion of SEIU and Big Energy Corporations in financing an Independent Expenditure Committee on the behalf of the 51st AD Campaign of NOTED Dakota Access Pipeline Protester, turned Political Candidate Wendy Carrillo. SEIU surrogates (with connections to LA County Labor Federation Leader Rusty Hicks) recently created "The Working Families for Wendy Carrillo IE", which has been largely funded ($250,000) by the union's 2015 Local ............., and by a certain "Women in Power PAC (as noted in the photo below)". As noted in a CityWatch LA Missive authored by Ruby DeVera (a noted Candidate Luis Lopez endorser), Big Oil Chevron continued its usual giving to IEs supporting candidates with hypocritical proclivities. But upon further review of the financial documents via the "WIP PAC", the INTEGRITY of the Dakota Pipeline Protester, now repeat (within weeks of losing Congressional Race) Candidate for Public Office, will be seriously QUESTIONED, if she does not repudiate the contributions from the likes of PG & E and Sempra Energy, who's "past issues with pipelines", are documented below-----Scott  Johnson.
