Club booth will be open every day until the election

REPUBLICAN CLUB

This year, the three candidates the Republican club has been focusing on are Michelle Steel, Janet Nguyen and City Councilman and former Mayor Thomas Moore, who visited the Republican Club’s booth to meet and talk with club members last week. As always, the event was masked and held outside. Attendees were able to ask Moore questions about his campaign.

Of the three, Moore is the one whose success or failure clearly depends on what we in Leisure World do. Although he does not live in LW, for the past four years he has worked hard to represent residents well.

Thomas Moore has fought for and achieved over $670,000 in spending cuts. He tried his best, as is seen in his response to Seal Beach Proposition BB, which passed two years ago.

Orange County is not a place where voters are usually delighted to raise taxes, but in this case we supported a sales tax increase, thinking the money would go towards the police and possibly other public safety uses.

When the City Council decided to spend the money for other purposes, Moore introduced a motion to put all the extra money not spent for public safety into a reserve account. His motion died for lack of a second.

The club is also distributing free signs including those that say the following:

• “Support our Police”

• “TaxpayerAdvocateMichelle Steel for Congress”

• “Create More Jobs, Michelle Steel for Congress”

• “Lower Taxes, Michelle Steel for Congress”

• “Janet Nguyen for Assembly”

• “ThomasMooreforSealBeach City Council. Moore for Your Money!”

Starting next week, the club booth will be open from 11a.m. -2 p.m. every day until the election on Nov. 3.

Voters can drop off their ballots, which will be turned in by club President David Harlow each day. The booth will be at its regular location in the parking lot in front of Clubhouse 6.
