Vote for Honest and Experienced People

This flyer was distributed throughout the city this past weekend. Ken Rosson, Don Campbell, and Socorro Munoz clearly have a long track record of being involved in our community and they are all long time residents. I would encourage voters to contact them personally and find out what great people they are.

You can also contact the other three people that the 9th street gang is sponsoring. Here is their contact information. I would also encourage voters to call these individuals and question them on their qualifications and experience. Ask them what their goals are and how they plan to achieve them. Then ask them where the money will come from to implement their plans. Find out if they truly care about this community and if they are willing to invest 20+ hours per week of their time.

March 6th Election

Citizens of McFarland, they are at it again. The "9th street gang", that group of poor illiterate souls that tried to keep Rafael Melendez in office, are attempting to fill three of the council spots that are up for re-election on March 6th. They pooled all of their resources together, found a few people that could read, and these are the top notch candidates that they are putting up for the election.

Hilda Osorio, Mayor
27 year old who has lived in McFarland for 2 years. Has never been actively involved in any of the political boards in our city.

Humberto Topete Jr., Councilmember
20 year old student with no political experience. Come on now. A kid?

Samuel Cantu, Councilmember
Brother of Manuel Cantu who was just recalled a few months ago and from what I hear isn't any smarter than his brother. So be prepared for more costly decisions from this guy if he is elected. I do hear that he is good at verbally abusing children at sporting events.

Here is a flyer that they have been putting out, which of course lacks any factual information.

Here is a rebuttal flyer that addresses the lies that they published and shows how confused and mislead these people are. They don't bother to do their homework and get all of the facts before making statements. I'm proud of the fact that our new council has been able to fix many of the mistakes made by the council that was recalled a few months ago.

McFarland School District Management Study

The Kern County Superintendent of Schools conducted a management study on the McFarland Unified School District. The conclusions of the study were disappointing but not surprising. Over the past year the school district has gone through some difficult times with failed recall attempts, election fraud, and finally the election of two new board members that have been found guilty of misdemeanor charges. The district is having a difficult time recruiting people and reducing employee turnover. But who can blame potential candidates for being cautious about taking positions at this school district when the work environment is so chaotic.

McFarland Christmas Parade

I know this is a little late, but I thought I would share some of the pictures that I took at the McFarland Christmas parade back in December.
