I just made a contribution to the Foley campaign. Jeff Pealman, you are "one bad-ass motherfucker" and a "helluva" writer and journalist. Keep up the good work.
Thank you. Katrina is a warrior goddess. Two other OC Supervisor candidates need our help as well: Vicente “Vince” Sarmiento needs to be re-elected, and Connor Traut needs to be elected. Vince has been an anti-ICE hero (ICE has targeted the heavily-immigrant communities he serves) and Connor has years of steadfast and effective community service. Just like the House of Representatives, we need to focus on getting a Dem majority on the Board of Supervisors. Jeff, I hope you can interview Vince and Connor as well. All three of these public servants have earned my respect and gratitude.
As a 63-yearlong Dem and 59-years Costa Mesan, I canvassed for Katrina's first campaign for city council...hmmm...in 2001...(my 84 year-old memory sucks!) Have supported her with canvassing and beaucoup bucks ever since! Katrina is what I like to call "mean, lean and ugly." Again, she's got my vote this time around...and my beaucoup bucks!
Let me start by stating that I will most assuredly vote for Foley over her opponent for all of the reasons you state in your masterful essay. That said, I would be a more enthusiastic Foley supporter if she were more responsive to her constituents. I wrote her office on two occasions seeking additional information regarding a specific issue in her/our district and didn’t receive as much as an acknowledgement, much less a response to my question. I realize that this is probably the failing of one of her staffers who is charged with answering constituent questions - obviously she doesn’t personally respond to every inquiry, a full-time job in itself - but this is something that she should hold them accountable for, as failing to do so gives the appearance of not caring (looking at you Young Kim and Mimi Walters).
You can also help by calling neighbors or knocking on their doors on her behalf. Here's the phone bank link: https://www.mobilize.us/theunion/event/908061/. To knock doors in Laguna Hills, sign up here: https://www.mobilize.us/teamhb/event/932837/, and to knock doors in San Juan Capistrano, sign up here: https://www.mobilize.us/teamhb/event/933182/. And, yes, she's amazing and worth an investment to keep her in office!

Just donated! Great article and everything you wrote was 100% spot on! Thank you :-)
