Can Mayoral Candidate Eric Garcetti rescue Jimmy "PAC Laundryman" Gomez in the 51st AD?

The Bloggin Committee to BAN the Political Carpetbag(ger) in the 51st Assembly District, approves this post.

 BAN the Political Carpetbag(ger), Save an Exploited Burrocrat!

Homegrown Burrocrats United against Mayoral Candidate Eric Garcetti's support of Riverside Capetbagger Jimmy "PAC Laundryman" Gomez over homegrown leader Luis Lopez.

Early signs are that Cd 13 City Councilman and 2013 Mayoral Candidate Eric Garcetti's support of Jimmy "PAC Laundryman" Gomez, may backfire as voters rebel against a democratic political machine who is attempting to push another carpetbagger, upon the 51st AD electorate. Garcetti's clan, who's wife/partner Amy Wakeland allegedly attacked campaign consultant Mike Shimpock handling of the campaign, also donated monetary support to help the floundering campaign.

 While Garcetti and clan give more money to the "PAC Laundryman" the grassroots continue to call out Gomez for taking money from dubious sources as noted today by the Luis Lopez Campaign.

Mayor Sam Halloween Costume Contest Winner Jimmy "The Educator" Gomez

The Bloggin Committee to BAN the Political Carpetbag(ger) in the 51st Assembly District, gladly endorses this Mayor Sam Halloween Costume Award to 51 AD Candidate Jimmy "The PAC Laundryman Educator" Gomez.

 BAN the Political Carpetbag(ger), Save an Exploited Burrocrat! 

 The Coalition of Burrocrats agrees that Jimmy "PAC Laundryman Educator" Gomez deserves recognition as the best Political Halloween Costume in the 51st AD. 

The Jimmy Gomez "Educator" Mailer.

** Blogger's Note: With no apologies to noted Jimmy Gomez shill and recent losing LA-32 Neighborhood Council Candidate Ari Ruiz, the definitive Halloween Political Makeover Award goes to a "certain carpetbagging educator". A couple of weeks back, an irate Northeast LA Voter forward us the above picture of a Jimmy "The Educator" Gomez mailer, that was among many sent to their residence. The person who's employment was within the public education field, took offense at Gomez's attempt to mislead voters by labeling himself on the ballot, as an "Educator". The reality is that Gomez taught a Labor-theme class at LA Trade Tech as noted below,

Even though he is being paid very little, this is what allows him to list “Educator/Nurses Advocate” as his ballot designation.
His campaign bio says that he is “an adjunct faculty member.”
Jimmy is a mentor with the Puente Mentorship Program and an adjunct faculty member of the Los Angeles Community College.
(http://jimmygomezforassembly.com/2012/meet/)
In particular, Gomez teaches / has taught at the L.A. Trade Tech campus, where he is in the “Labor Center” department — as is his wife Mary.
Jimmy Gomez, Political Director, UNAC/UHCP, M.A. Public Policy....
Mary Hodge, Poltical Campaign Consultant, B.A., Political Science.
(http://college.lattc.edu/laborcenter/instructors-staff/)
Note though that Gomez’s SEI lists only himself as receiving a salary from the Los Angeles Community College District; if his wife received at least $500 during the reporting period (and after their April 2011 wedding), then her income should also have been reported.
Neither Gomez nor Hodge appear on the ratemyprofessors.com website.  

We can only speculate on some of Educator Gomez's course titles, maybe they included "101 Ways of Carpetbagging", "The Science of PAC Money :Laundry", "The Political Makeover of a Riverside PACman", "The Use of GPS in establishing Political Residency", "The Exploitation of Burrocrats", "There is No Such Thing as Dirty Political Money" and "101 Mailers to Cover Up My Carpetbagging Truth". But most important in vetting the background of supposed "Educator Jimmy", is asking a simple question. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A EDUCATOR? We leave that to Jimmy to answer, as noted on his Facebook Page. And judging from the date, Jimmy's "educational background" ranks along the same level as another S G & A client who goes by the consultant-crafted moniker "Professor Mike Gatto"---Scott Johnson

Jimmy "PAC Laundryman" Gomez takes money from alleged Woman Beater Assemblyman Roger Hernandez

The Bloggin Committee to BAN the Political Carpetbag(ger) in the 51st Assembly District, approves this message.

 BAN the Political Carpetbag(ger), Protect an Exploited Burrocrat!

 Burrocrats united against taking money from alleged woman beaters!

51st AD Candidate Jimmy "PAC Laundryman" Gomez supporter Assemblyman Roger Hernandez's Booking Photo from recent DUI Arrest (later acquitted).

In the latest indication he will take money from any source, no matter how despicable, Assembly candidate Jimmy Gomez took funds for his campaign 

from a politician under an emergency protective order for battering a woman this summer and this weekend.

Gomez now faces calls from leaders against sexual and domestic violence in the district he recently moved into to run for office, to give the money to a charity serving local survivors.

"I am utterly appalled to learn that Assembly candidate Jimmy Gomez took a four-figure contribution from a politician, Assemblymember Roger Hernandez, who beat his girlfriend and is under a restraining order," said Alva Moreno, former Board President of the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault and a longtime leader in victims' assistance and stopping sexual and domestic violence in the communities of the 51st District. 

"I am tired of the general ignorance, hostility, and indifference of politicians to the facts of sexual and domestic violence and its consequences on the health and lives of women.

"If Jimmy Gomez has a shred of decency, he would donate all the money he took from Roger Hernandez to a charity here in his new district working to help people overcome the trauma of domestic abuse. It is the least he owes to the hundreds of survivors of sexual and domestic violence in the communities of Northeast Los Angeles and East L.A."

Mid Day 2012 Election Briefs for Monday

Will 50th AD Candidate and current Assemblywoman Besty Butler's "non-vote" that help kill State Senator Alex Padilla's SB 1530 (the bill to speed up termination process for teachers convicted of sex crimes), hurt her chances for reelection?   

The above video expose by CNN's Anderson Cooper is not likely to help Assemblywoman Butler as election day approaches and during last week's Santa Monica Daily Press "Squirm Night" festivities, challenger Richard Bloom asked her again to state her opinion on SB 1530 (link to see video). As the 50th AD contest enters its last week, Butler has spend $1.5 Million dollars on her campaign, but a non-vote in Sacramento may trump those expenditures.

Video from 43rd Assembly District Debate between Infant Assemblyman Mike Gatto and Glendale School Board Member Greg Krikorian

Judging from the crowd reactions during the only debate between Infant Assemblyman Mike Gatto and Glendale School Board Member Greg Krikorian, the current officeholder is in big trouble. In addition, what was up with Little Mikey and the League of Women Democratic Establishment Voters obvious collusion on debate questions? "Little Mikey" cannot even play fair in a simple debate, judging by the numerous cheat sheets he recited from during the hour-long forum.

This get together has major potential as a teachable political moment, when it comes to monetary uses by like-minded members of the same political machine. The "PAC Laundryman" can offer up advise how to wash nurse's due moneys into contributions to self while the Princeton Graduate can filibuster on his years-long white-washing on disclosures of CLARTS Fund expenditures.

Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Friday

CD 14 City Councilman Jose Huizar involved in Traffic Accident.

We like to give props to the Princeton Graduate City Councilman for this teachable moment in safe, defensive driving, while behind the wheel of a city-owned vehicle. 

City Councilman Jose Huizar's city-owned custom $53,000 Toyota Highlander Hybrid.

In the interest of objectivity, we excerpt the latest LA Times posting on CD 14 City Councilman Jose Huizar's accident last night in Boyle Heights.

Three cars were involved in a minor traffic accident that City Councilman Jose Huizar was in before he was given a DUI sobriety test that he passed, a spokesman said."I can confirm that three cars were involved and the Councilmember was given a breathalyzer test, which registered a zero," Huizar spokesman Rick Coca said in a statement Thursday night after the accident.The accident was reported about 7 p.m. on East 1st Street near the 101 Freeway in Boyle Heights, the Los Angeles Police Department said. One person at the scene complained of injuries and was examined by paramedics but not taken to a hospital, police said.Police described Huizar as cooperative as he was being tested. He was released afterward.At the scene, Huizar's Toyota Highlander was parked behind a General Motors Saturn, which had major damage on the trunk. The accident was being investigated by Central Traffic Division detectives.Huizar, 44, was elected to the City Council in 2005 with the support of Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. He lives in Boyle Heights. His 14th District stretches from downtown to Eagle Rock.

The remaining question here is whether the Princeton Graduate was driving unsafely at the time of the accident.

Irate 51st Assembly District Voter blasts Jimmy "PAC Laundryman" Gomez Robo Call featuring State Senator Kevin de Leon

Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Thursday

Mayor Sam Exclusive: Open Feuding in the Jimmy Gomez for Assembly Campaign Team?

 Sources tell Mayor Sam that the Jimmy "PAC Laundryman" Gomez Assembly Campaign, is in disarray with Amy Wakeland (pictured above with "partner" mayoral candidate Eric Garcetti) sending out panic emails that blame Campaign Consultant Mike Shimpock, for the pending election demise of the Riverside carpetbagging, political transplant. 

 While Wakeland pleads for help in saving the Gomez Campaign, Shimpock has incorporated a robo call message from another carpetbagging politic from San Diego State Senator Kevin de Leon, to attack candidate Luis Lopez for running a campaign of smears. One irate recipient of the robo calls went as far to call Senator de Leon's office in Sacramento. 

But as the Gomez Campaign implodes from within, voters from throughtout the 51st AD are taking a stand against a political machine that has not absorbed the political lesson of 1999, where another machine-backed carpetbagger was rebuffed by the voters, just ask Victor Griego.

** The Old Gray Hag on Spring Street (aka LA Obama/Antonio/Angeles Times) was sad to report that Californians are turning their backs on Governor Moonbeam II's Prop 30 that would raise taxes on the more well to do.

** But in a rare moment of journalistic objectivity, The Old Gray Hag on Spring Street rightfully opines that the voters, not Mayor Antonio Villar, should decide whether to change the fundamental functions of the City Attorney's office.

** What is up with a bunch of LA's rich white guys parading down to City Hall to support Mayor Villar's "weenie pension reform proposal?

Lastly, a special message for CD 12 City Councilman Mitch Englander

We want to commend you, along with your fellow councilmembers Bernard Parks, Jan Perry and the "Average Joe" Buscaino, for voting no against Councilman Ed Reyes attempt to place a political litmus test on new business in the City of Los Angeles, by banning Walmart from opening its Chinatown location, we just hope Mitch that whatever pressure is being exerted to change your "No" vote, will come to naught.

A Message on the "NRA's favorite PAC Laundryman" in the 51st AD

The Bloggin Committee to BAN the Political Carpetbag(ger) in the 51st Assembly District, approves of this message below from the "Luis Lopez for Assembly Campaign"---Scott Johnson.

 Ban the Political Carpetbag(ger), Save an exploited Burrocrat.

Burrocrats UNITED against Riverside Carpetbagger Jimmy Gomez.

Over the last 48 hours, Jimmy Gomez's campaign was hit with a heavy dose of truth in regards to contributions Jimmy Gomez has taken from registered NRA lobbyists. 

 Compounding Jimmy Gomez's problems is the fact that at the time of the donations to Gomez, NRA lobbyists were leading efforts to weaken laws against carrying weapons across state lines and to allow importation of pelts and trophies of slaughtered polar bears. 

 Research gathered from polling conducted for the Luis Lopez campaign indicates that the NRA and links to its efforts are a very strong negative (click here to see memo) in this heavily Democratic district, covering Northeast Los Angeles and East L.A. 

 Lopez laid out his opponent's lapse in a mailer to district voters. 

(Click here to see mailer)

 The Lopez mailer was reinforced in a district wide robo-call from a community member touched firsthand by gun violence and highlighting Jimmy Gomez's funding by NRA lobbyists. 

Call to AD51 voters (English and Spanish):
"My name is Nadine Trujillo. I'm a long-time business owner here in our community. My husband Michael was murdered before my eyes here in Los Angeles. As a victim of gun violence, I am outraged by the fact that Assembly candidate Jimmy Gomez is being funded by thousands of dollars from registered lobbyists of the National Rifle Association.

 "I am a strong believer in gun control and resent the power of the NRA lobby to buy off politicians and stop sensible gun-control measures, even to weaken and undo California law. 

 "So when you vote, please join me and other victims of crime and gun violence by voting NO to Jimmy Gomez and NO to the NRA lobbyists funding his campaign. We deserve much better than Jimmy Gomez and politicians who depend on and bend to the gun lobby. And we don't need another vote for gun-lobby extremists in Sacramento."

 Over the past 48 hours, the Gomez campaign has not responded to the issues concerning his funding by NRA lobbyists, while the truth about this issue is reverberating across the district as voters are now casting ballots.

"PAC Laundryman" Gomez will shill for any Special Interest that contributes, without reservations. Is that some the 51 AD needs representing us in Sacramento. Support our home grown candidate, who's principles are rooted in his native soil.

We bring you S G & A Mike Shimpock's "Jump the Shark Moment" on behalf of Jimmy " PACman" Gomez

"The Bloggin Committee to BAN the Political Carpetbag(ger) in the 51st Assembly District" approves this "Jump the Shark Moment" by S G & A's Mike Shimpock, on the behalf of Echo Park (really Angelino Heights, if Jimmy reads his GPS properly) via Riverside, California, 51st AD Candidate Jimmy "PAC laundryman" Gomez. 

BAN the Political Carpetbag(ger), save an exploited Burrocrat!

** Committee Chair notes: We were forward this ....., well, lets just say that S G & A's Mike Shimpock has gone the Happy Days "Fonzi Jump the Shark Route", in his defense of client, 51st AD Candidate Jimmy "PAC laundryman" Gomez. As is our usual style here at Mayor Sam, we post Shimpock's rant in its entirely (with bloggin commentary in bold). From the Echo Park Patch .BTW Shimpock, going "MEAT" (referring to losing consultant Michael Trujillo) in the comment section, is a waste of your client's "PAC laundry Money".

Don't expect any "prime cuts of campaign truth" regarding the true residency of 51st AD Candidate Jimmy "PAC laundryman" Gomez from his S G & A Campaign Consultant Mike Shimpock.

Using a common dirty campaign tactic of filing a fake complaint with the District Attorney’s office and then claiming an “investigation” in order to smear his opponent, Luis Lopez has sunk to criminal lows. (Did your associate Parke pioneer those campaign tactics?)

Lopez had a listed endorser file a false complaint with the District Attorney’s office regarding Gomez’s residency in order to create confusion and controversy. The complaint challenges Jimmy Gomez’s residency.(Should the D.A. be the final arbitrator of what charges are false, and not a paid political hack?)

This is ironic, since Gomez has lived in the 51st District more than a year longer than Lopez. Lopez moved into the district and registered on the last day legally allowable to make him eligible for office, and has only been registered to vote in Los Angeles since 2008.(Please note that the shark is devouring Shimpock's pathetic false spin after fail jump) 

This is the type of smear I would expect from a Republican. Jimmy Gomez has lived in Los Angeles since 1996, except for brief times spent at Harvard, in Washington D.C. and to care for his dying father. (This is a "repugnant attempt" to use Jimmy's dead dad as a shield to hide the carpetbagging lies)

But what more can you expect from a candidate willing to lie about not only his opponent’s residency but also try to pilfer the endorsement of the Democratic Party? (Or buy the democratic machine endorsement through alleged "PAC laundry money".from nurse's dues)

Lopez recently sent a mailer to district voters asserting he was the “only democrat” in the race. This, too, is false. Jimmy Gomez is the officially endorsed candidate of the Democratic Party. (Correction, the official establishment machine democrat)

Eric Bauman, Chair of the Los Angeles County Democratic Party, said, regarding this mailer:, “the Democratic Party endorses only one candidate in this race, Jimmy Gomez.  Claims of an endorsement by any other candidate are false. The Democratic Party has been fighting this kind of false and deceptive behavior for many years. It misleads voters and is wrong.(Most Democrats are born to mislead and serve the Special Interests like the Carpetbagging Jimmy "PAClaundryman" Gomez)

Luis Lopez will do anything to get elected, even manipulate the law and lie about the Democratic Party. He is unqualified for office, and apparently knows that himself if he feels the need to stoop to this level. (BTW Mike, ask Parke about those 80 FAKE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCHES that he credited to the vision of the Jimmy's machine supporter Mayor Antonio Villar).

BTW, what did Jimmy "PAC laundryman" Gomez say again about his residency?

No wonder, Jimmy claims that he is the victim via Eagle Rock Patch's Peter Choi, who noted our coverage of his superb work ........................

Two days later, my little blog was picked up by one of LA’s top political blogs,Mayor Sam’s Sister City. Under the headline “A Call to Investigate the
"Dubious Carpetbagging Ways “of Jimmy "PACman" Gomez"Dubious Carpetbagging Ways “of Jimmy "PACman" Gomez”, they supportedmy efforts to uncover the truth and noted:

..... and will continue to until Election Day.
