Rumor Mill: Dina Nguyen Signs Johnson Clark
Posted by: Nick Naylor | 04/01/2008 5:06 PM
A reliable source has told me that Dina Nguyen, the Garden Grove Councilwoman who is taking on controversial Supervisor Janet Nguyen, has signed (or is about to sign) Johnson Clark Associates to navigate her campaign.
This certainly is a big boost for Dina, who has seen her campaign get off to a bumpy start.
Johnson Clark certainly knows the area, as they were the consultants for Van Tran's first Assembly run. And they know how to run a winning Supervisor's race, as they were the consultants for John Moorlach just last cycle.
By signing JCA, Dina just made this race a whole lot more interesting.

Mr. Ayer registered as a Republican to be electable in an interim election with no incumbents. He did...
Oh, that's better.
Why?
I'm just going to delete these kind of comments, so stop wasting everyone's time, including your own.
You don't have to have a perfect personal life to serve on the 5th Floor. So knock off the attacks.
Johnson Clark will be a formidable group. Their record is better than that of Gillard and they will have Janet Nguyen for breakfast.
It's no rumor; it's true! I'm sure the ever shrinking group of Janet supporters are sad and dismayed this is not an April Fools joke.
Add this to the fact that every one of the local elected Vietnamese office holders endorse DINA Nguyen as well as other local electeds and activists, and this spells big trouble for Janet in the 1st District. I have to admit, it's refreshing to see local leaders rally around the best candidate even though she's not the incumbent. That's the way it's supposed to be. This is great!!!
Dina also hired Tim Whitacre to be her on-site.
They will lose to Gilliard again just like they lost when they ran Tom Wilson against Mimi Walters and Ken Maddox against John Campbell.
And that Moorlach re-elect - that was a real tough one!
The only person who will lose is Janet Nguyen. She's already losing her pants to Gillard. They charge a ton of money and the returns are not that great.
Well I'm going to a fundraiser tonight for Janet Nguyen and I guess I'll just dig deeper in my wallet for her. Janet is obviously the most qualified candidate for the job; and my observation of Dina and her lifestyle is not favorable. She does not fit my profile of a good conservative republican.
"They will lose to Gilliard again..." In those past elections Guilliard was confident..due to the positive strenths of the candidates he was representing...............................
For Janet it's another story....Janet is viewed as a "troubled" candidate or at best, "controversial" incumbent coupled with "back stabber" image.................and lastly, she is disowned by not one, but by all of elected Viet. community leaders.
So far the 1st District race picture looks like this:
1) Dems. Hoa Tran chpping away(raised 50k+ actively campaigning in Viet community) Janet's liberal blog of voters
2) The "Popular" Republican candidate, Dina, raising jaw dropping 100k in 2-3 weeks and strongly supported by the conservative central OC republican community..................including all of local elected Viet.officials
3)Many ex republican donors are avoiding Janet and supporting Dina

Keep on digging deeper into your pocket. Janet needs it. God knows she needs it, and Gillard definitely can use more money.
Doesn't matter, Janet's gonna get beat anyway.
thank for cleaning up all comments from dina's camp... it's getting rediculous. They have paid writers now to even manipulate things written on the blog? are you kidding me?
Dina Nguyen does not have any paid writers. There are plenty of truth tellers to expose Janet's conduct. Truth does hurt.
Jasnet can't hide for long.

Please don't spread any lie. Whom do your refer to be Dina's paid writers? If you have any information please let us know.

Ditto. Dave Gillard has $40K bill not yet being paid by Janet's campaign. Take a look at her last financial report.
If the rumor is true that Dina has brought in a good "team" to help run her campaign, then why is she her own treasurer (as can be found on the latest financial stmt disclosures). At this stage in the game she should have her campaign team in place...she shouldn't have to be her own treasurer...
Trannies, you know who her paid writers are, but the one that most visible is Le Phuong whose running articles about her on Viet Bao & Vien Dong. We're not dumb. You keep pushing our buttons and we will spill... so watch it Trannies... we are watching you very closely.
Janet's bill might not have been paid becuase she's busy working for the community while Dina and her Gangsters are out collecting checks from everyone they could shake down... Now, not only does she have a paid writer, she also has a paid consultant within the OC Republican Endorsement Committee... I wonder if that's a conflict of interest? Is it even legal? That's one way of buying your way into the party isnt' it?
