Citizens for Informed Elections paid well to obtain the required number of signatures to place a citizens petition amendment on the November ballot that will, if successful, change charter office elections from non-partisan to partisan, and place the mayor’s race on the presidential election cycle.
Charter offices include the Board of County Commissioners.
These two issues will prove to be hugely beneficial to the activist-controlled Orange County Democratic Party, but the majority of financial contributions to Citizens for Informed Elections originated from sources outside of Orange County.
To help establish local one party rule, Orange County Tax Collector Scott Randolph, the former chairman of the local Democratic Party, gave $26,750 to Citizens for Informed Elections through a political action committee he controls.
But here is a list of “other” donors who contributed to Citizens for Informed Elections, according to records on file with the Orange County Supervisor of Elections:
DC-based Leadership Center for Common Good – $47,500
DC-based Project Vote: $19,500
California-based New Leaders Council – $9,000
Miami-based Democracy Alliance member Chris Findlater – $35,000
*Both Leadership Center for Common Good and Project Vote have strong ties to now defunct ACORN.
