District Attorney Todd Spitzer has recently announced

that he is running for reelection this year. He has the complete support of the LW Republican Club.

Spitzer chaired the campaign for Proposition 9, “Marsy’s Law,” the nation’s most comprehensive Victim’s Bill of Rights.

He also served as state cochair for Proposition 83, the nation’s toughest sex offender punishment and control law, as well as Proposition 69, which requires the collection of DNA samples from criminal offenders.

Spitzer joint-authored “Megan’s Law,” the landmark legislation requiring the release of public information related to sex offenders. As a former prosecutor and assistant district attorney he handled complex criminal matters while managing other prosecutors.

As third district supervisor, he secured Orange County’s first year-round, supportive housing shelter for the homeless, established an ethics commission, gained passage of pension reform measures, and strengthened public safety oversight by expanding the Office of Independent Review.

••• Most people know that Abraham Lincoln was president during the Civil War and that he freed the slaves. So, the LW Republican Club asks that residents remember on Feb. 12 to fly the flag on the birthday of the first Republican president.

The Republican Club booth will be up every Monday from 11a.m.-2 p.m. outside Clubhouse 6. It will be decorated for Valentine’s Day, and club members will hand out goodies while supplies last.

Monthly meetings are held on the third Wednesday of the month at 7 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 2.

Those who would like to receive more information or to be put on the email list can call (714) 771-0273.
