Mission Viejo City Council member Greg Raths has announced a campaign for the Orange County Board of Supervisors 5th district where he will face off against Union leader Joe Kerr.
Apparently getting beaten to a pulp by Katie Porter in 2020 wasn’t enough for Raths who has a reputation as one of the thinnest skinned electeds in Orange County. Don’t believe me? Here’s a Voice of OC article that gets into the weeds.
From the piece:
Raths and Briana Walker, an outspoken critic of Raths’ on Twitter, got into a disagreement that stretched over several hours that largely revolved around Raths’ work as a councilman, with Walker bringing up the possibility of seeking a restraining order and Raths calling her statements lies.
Walker shared that Raths had come to her house after she spoke at public comment during a City Council meeting about concerns with crime in her neighborhood last December, saying she felt threatened by his showing up at her doorstep unannounced.
Security footage captured Raths there, saying “You came last night, and this is a big deal, 50,000 people know about it now so I’ve got to find answers to solve the problem.”

Raths also drove his campaign signed truck passed a Democrats of Greater Irvine rally for Katie Porter at Culver and Alton last fall.
This is going to be a fun race to watch.
Crap….there goes the neighbohod if either one of these bozos win. Hopefully a saner and more constrained candidate will appear.
Thanks Dan.
