I worked with Shari at city of huntington beach. She was the worst manager of people I ever saw. Every one of her employees couldn't stand her. I could list all kinds of horror stories. While she was honest, which is no small thing, when someone is universally disliked, there is obviously an issue
When I voted this last week I checked this one out before I chose who I was going to black the box for. I had heard about Freidenrich before regarding her very clear ineptitude at her job. I voted for Schulz.
Folks, we always need to vote down ballot and this is one of the great examples of why. Hopefully more people look into this race before they color in the box or skip it. Otherwise, we end up with keeping poorly performing people in their jobs in elected office. That HAS to stop.
Yep. And Democrats (even for non-partisan seats) need to have someone in EVERY race. It's how you build bench strength and gain power at the local level.
Why is Mom's for Liberty terrorizing every single school board across America? Because they put up candidates for EVERY school board election. And as a result of it, now we have Sonja Freaking Shaw, an idiot bully, who could become the Superintendent of Public Instruction in California. That's insane.
That means we can't leave any seat uncontested anywhere.
Thanks for keeping us informed, Jeff, in a very insightful and entertaining way. Who’s got time to dig into this kind of stuff, and what kind of people have the drive and energy to pursue these obscure offices? It’s a crazy world and we desperately need good leadership, not the current crop of miscreants that are running this circus.
Thanks to you I’ll be voting for Dana Schulz. Keep up the good work, glad there’s somebody out there that cares enough to do the digging.
Use bluevoterguide.com for page 3 of your ballot. They usually just list who is endorsing each candidate, but they have a couple of paragraphs of reasons not to vote for this person. Judges are on there, too!
When I voted, I googled this race, it took me 5 minutes to read about this race and affirmatively decide that Dana Schultz was the much, much better choice. This Shari lady seems like an incompetent nightmare.
It makes you realize that: a) So many people down-ballot suck just as much as those up-ballot who get attention and money; and b) the Democrats' strategy of not running candidates (even for non-partisan offices) in places like OC down-ballot "because it is a red area" needs to change. Well, it is changing. But for the last 20 years, we have let seats like this go uncontested because "it's red" and "we don't want to waste money, yadda, yadda.' These boring, down-ballot races build bench strength for eventual runs for higher office. We need people to care about these races because the Schultzes need to crowd out the Friedenriches.

Thank you Jeff for the heads up. Haven't voted yet, but love your insight.
