Democrats and Republicans Agree
Letter to the editor

It's not often that Democrats and Republicans agree, but the Mission Viejo City Council race is a remarkable exception. Several weeks ago, the local Saddleback Republican Assembly voted to endorse council candidates Michael Ferrall, Jim Woodin and incumbent John Paul Ledesma. These three received the state California Republican Assembly endorsement as well.

Recently, the South Orange County Democratic Club recommended the same candidates, Michael Ferrall, Jim Woodin and John Paul Ledesma. Additionally, the club recommended against some of the other candidates, and I am in support of the club's decision.

The attack in the newspaper last week by a letter writer was appalling. I hope everyone also saw through a direct mail letter touting candidates Diane Greenwood, Bill Barker and Justin McCusker. The "paid for" information at the bottom of the letter was a Political Action Committee called South County Leadership PAC, which has been tied to out-of-town money. I would never vote for candidates with a connection to a lobbyist representing special interest.
