Dear Editor,
Congratulations to Newport Beach Councilman Kevin Muldoon and Fountain Valley Mayor Michael Vo for helping Costa Mesa Mayor Katrina Foley win the seat on the Orange County Board of Supervisors. As many others have written and posted, Muldoon and Vo put their egos ahead of what is good for the Republican Party and the result is that we now have a Democrat in what was once a Republican seat.
Like many Republicans in Orange County’s Second Supervisorial District, my goal was to support the most ELECTABLE Republican and that person was former State Senator John Moorlach. I also felt that based on his years of service to Orange County, Moorlach would do the best job. Yet, if Muldoon or Vo were running in this race as the lone Republican, I would have supported either one. The goal was to ELECT A REPUBLICAN, not placate one’s ego. (Otherwise I should have run for the board!) I hope neither Muldoon nor Vo seek a future office where they will want my vote because it won’t be there. Most Republicans I have spoken with have told me the same thing.
