Katrina Foley is a warrior for her constituents but the campaign could be improved. The very fact she was unaware of the requests says a lot. In the campaign for the primary, I drove half an hour to Costa Mesa to canvass only to spend 20 minutes searching for the organizers. Nobody was there. After the primary, I collected some of Katrina Foley’s signs but an email I sent asking where to drop them off went unanswered. They’re still in my garage.

I bumped into Katrina crossing the PCH in Laguna Beach over the weekend. We chatted. She’s one of the good ones.

She is the BEST! and so is her staff. She has advocated for those of us in her district and outside of her district. We are lucky to have her! You will enjoy her enthusiasm and her love for OC!

Love this. So maybe it was just running too fast and they couldn’t cover all the bases. Cant wait to hear the chat.

Simple mental image: the Energizer Bunny!

She and her amazing staff helped my hopeless unhoused brother move to a permanent facility. He is sooo lucky, and my family and I don’t have to contemplate him living under a bridge.

I am unable to say enough good things about her.

And please take out that MAGAt challenger!!!

I was surprised by your earlier post. Glad you got a quick reply.

I am so glad Katrina is talking with you. She has been nothing but inspiring and aligned with my values when she has given her time to my labor group and more. And as I just saw a bonkers post from Esther Kim Varet trying to stay relevant trying to divide us, I hope we can all rally around good people. Look forward to the Foley chat.

Posted two weeks ago by Katrina Foley (IG supervisorfoley):

"I strongly condemn the distribution of antisemitic flyers in Coto de Caza. The Orange County Sheriff’s Department investigates the matter after my office reported the incident to law enforcement and regional public safety partners.

My office will continue working alongside law enforcement, community leaders, and our regional partners to ensure this incident receives a swift and thorough investigation.

Residents who experience or witness a hate crime or hate incident should report it to the OC Sheriff’s Department: ocsheriff.gov/hatecrimes"

Can’t wait to hear the glowing interview! Foley has done tons of good for the OC, and bridges across the party lines like no other.

When say no other, I mean across the Reagan Republican County, to the newer Purple County we can all enjoy and love living in.

Give her signed copy (signed to the OG of OC )of your Tupac book, and see what she does… like fun game of limbo on the beach, it’s a barometer of her coolness.

I’m betting she’ll pass!

Looking forward to seeing the results of the interview. While I don’t agree with 100% of her policies I do believe we could have gotten someone much worse.

If you have a chance to explore her views on homelessness and Care Court process, I’d be very grateful! Keep up the great work!!!

re: "We're meeting up Friday."

So, how did the meeting go? Prepping a follow-up article based on it?

Glad you were persistent. She's worth it!
