SRA Endorses Council Candidates

On Sept. 16, members of Saddleback Republican Assembly held an endorsing convention at Atria del Sol’s community room in Mission Viejo. The group endorsed city council candidates for the cities of Aliso Viejo, Laguna Hills, Lake Forest and Mission Viejo.

Prior to the meeting, candidates seeking the group’s endorsement responded to a questionnaire on a variety of issues. Each candidate gave a three-minute speech and then spent three minutes fielding questions from the audience.

Candidates needed a two-thirds majority vote to receive the group’s endorsement. Receiving endorsements were Bill Perkins of Aliso Viejo; Ali Djowharzadeh and Melody Carruth of Laguna Hills; Scott Voigts of Lake Forest and Rhonda Reardon of Mission Viejo.

By receiving SRA’s endorsement, candidates are also endorsed by the California Republican Assembly (CRA).
