The Santa Ana City Council majority have spoken.
Their message?
Councilman David Benavides is the right choice for Mayor!
In a historic move that has not been seen before in the City of Santa Ana, the majority of the City Council has moved away from the incumbent Mayor and have endorsed a fellow Councilmember for Mayor: Councilman David Benavides.
With reference to their endorsements Councilmembers Sal Tinajero, Michele Martinez, and Vince Sarmiento had the following to say:
