The Official Voter Information Guide has been mailed for the upcoming March Primary Election. Voters who have not received a copy can call the Orange County Registrar of Voters at 714-567-7600.
In the race for U.S. Senate, the LW America First Republican Club supports Steve Garvey.
The most recent public opinion poll showed Garvey in second place with 18%, behind Congressman Adam Schiff with 25%. The current representative, Democratic Congresswoman Katie Porter, came in third with 13%. The two candidates with the most votes in the March 5 primary will face a run-off election on Nov. 5.
Garvey, a former Dodgers and Padres first baseman, held the all-time record for the largest number of consecutive games played, at 1,207. He was a National League All-Star for 10 seasons.
While still playing for the Padres, he started Garvey Media Group in 1983, specializing in sports branding and marketing. In 1988, he started Garvey Communications making TV commercials and infomercials.
Since 1990, Garvey has served as a member of the board of the Baseball Assistance Team, a nonprofit organization group that helps major league, minor league and Negro League players who have financial and medical hardships.
The club is also joining almost all official Republican groups in supporting Sen. Janet Nguyen for OC Supervisor.
The LW America First Republican Club supports legal immigration and secure borders, peace through strength, lower taxes, cutting government spending, free enterprise capitalism, family values, parental control of education, public safety through well-funded lawenforcement and an America first foreign policy.
Monthly meetings are held in Clubhouse 3, Room 2, on the third Wednesday of each month at 5 p.m. for socializing and 5:30 for the speaker. The club booth, located near Clubhouse 6, will be open each Monday, Wednesday and Friday in from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. At the booth, residents can sign the Protect Kids of California petition, register to vote, change their party affiliation, or just enjoy pleasant conversation.
The Protect Kids of California proposition, if passed, would not allow transgender people to enter bathrooms or compete on sports teams that are not the gender they were born. It would also require schools to get parental permission to refer students for gender-altering medical care or hormone therapy.
