The Derek Tran campaign might want to highlight this story, from Los Cerritos News, that came out in March just after the primary and before most knew who Rep. Michelle Steel’s Democratic opponent would be. Ignore the typo in the date under her photo, but it’s typical Republican bull to take credit for significant funding coming to your district after voting against the bill funding the projects taxpayer money benefits — the Bill being President Biden’s Infrastructure Bill.
Steel isn’t alone in doing this either. Steel’s staff told the paper these projects were funded from a different House bill but did not specify which bill it was.
From the paper:
The Congressional funding her office announced includes the following projects:
• $1 million – City of Hawaiian Gardens – Recreation Center Improvements
• $6 million – City of Artesia – Citywide Road Project
• $5 million – City of Cerritos, Lakewood, La Palma, and Cypress – Del Amo Boulevard Bridge Replacement and Signal Enhancements Project
• $1 million – Cerritos College – Cerritos College Career Command Center, a Student Veteran Career Readiness Training Program.
• $2.5 million – City of Fullerton – Police Station Historic Rehabilitation & Remediation Project.
• $350,000 – City of Garden Grove – Police Department Cyber Security Infrastructure Enhancement Project.
• $748,800 – City of Garden Grove – Arterial Highway Rehabilitation of Trask Avenue, from Harbor Boulevard to Fairview Street.
• $750,000 – City of Placentia – Public Safety Center 911 Technology Upgrades.
• $500,000 – City of Fountain Valley – Fountain Valley Universally Accessible Playground.
• $2 million – City of Brea – Modernize and expand Arovista Park.
• $1 million – City of Buena Park – Construct a new municipal water well in order to provide and store a local supply of safe drinking water for the community.
• $383,000 – Westminster Police Department – Backup Data Center.
• $250,000 – Boys and Girls Club of Greater Anaheim/Cypress – Workforce Development Program.
• $5 million – California State University, Fullerton – Titan Gateway Bridge.
• $582,410 – City of Los Alamitos – Los Alamitos Active Transportation Plan
Steel has yet to speak out about Donald Trump’s 34 count felony convictions, but her campaign is doing its best to demand Tran condemn pro-Hamas student demonstrations. The news releases on her campaign website are nothing but criticisms of Tran and other CA45 Democratic primary opponents.
Time for the Tran Campaign to ask Steel what House bill this funding came from.
She is such a hypocrite. Her husband is a communist tool!
