Orly Is In, Quang Is Out

Dr. Orly Taitz, a dentist with an office in Mission Viejo, distributed an email on March 6, announcing her candidacy to become California’s Secretary of State. She’ll face Damon Dunn on the Republican ticket in the June 8 Primary Election.

In her press release, Dr. Taitz says her platform includes making sure all political candidates are providing genuine vital records before they appear on the ballot. She says she will also work on the issue of creating a welcoming environment for national and international corporations to create jobs, cut red tape, limit overregulation and overtaxation in California. Taitz has championed the eligibility issue of President Barack Obama.

Taitz also says she is challenging her opponent’s eligibility to run in the Primary Election. She states he has not met requirements to appear on the Republican ticket because he changed his party affiliation 10 months ago. She says the legal requirement is to be registered as a party member for at least a year before running as that party’s candidate.

Mission Viejo resident Quang X. Pham has dropped out of the 47th Congressional District race. He announced on March 5 that he’s suspending his campaign. The news broke on OC Weekly and was picked up by OrangeJuiceBlog.com. Pham says he won’t compete in the Primary Election to challenge incumbent Loretta Sanchez.
