The Pickleball Diplomat
A couple months ago FFFF revealed the District 5 candidacy of one Jozef Maldonado. I didn’t know anything about the guy except that he had stood up at a council meeting to attack Mayor Fred Jung. That was telling and now the evidence is in.
Maldonado has a campaign website wherein he touts his vast, two-year experience on the Parks commission and shares how he championed the Trail to Nowhere and the useless UP Park projects – an aggregate waste of three million dollars of public money. He includes this unintentionally hilarious brag about his alleged contribution to the UP Park:
“And when conflict arose over a proposed pickleball court conversion, he brought both sides to the table and turned tension into trust.”
Wow! What an accomplishment. Tension to trust. Well, the pickleball courts are there so somebody lost.
Anyway, what’s really revealing is Jozef’s slate of endorsers, a veritable Who’s Who of Fullerton Boohoo and Fullerton Angry.
Ahmad Zahra (unemployed immigrant fraud)
Shana Charles (and her unemployed husband, Andre)
Ruthi Handcheck
Aaruni Thakur (friend of Scott Andre Charles and Scott Markowitz, some say)
Angry Cannabis Kitty Jaramillo
Angry Eye Doctor Anjali Tapadila
Steven Sherry (who starts every sentence with “Member of the Transportation Commission.”)
Soon we will probably see Jan Flory, Karen Lloreda and Diane Vena added to the list and hosannas from the Kennedy Sisters and the Fullerton Observer endorsement committee.
I once speculated that this guy could be another Democrat Party plant – like Tony Castro meant to drain votes from Oscar Valadez; and Scott Markowitz, there to take gringo votes from Linda Whitaker; in both cases to benefit the favored Dem Central candidate. This is obviously not the case. But Maldonado’s position in the community seems very thin; and Valadez has both a long-time business and a family with deep roots in D5.
We do learn that Jozef will be marrying his fiancé Ryan at the Hunt Library in November, after the rigors of the campaign, I guess. The point of sharing that information escapes me, other than to reveal he is gay without branding himself by it, like his endorser Ahmad Zahra.
Maybe Ryan is a girl.
Oh no. Another Zahra. At least this guy seems to have a job.
Wow whoever wrote this is kind of a monster.
This individual should take a few years to get a better perspective on life.
“he grew up in a household where making ends meet was a daily reality – not a talking point.”
I wonder. Anybody know where this life of deprivation took place?
Where is the Jesus Quirk-Silva endorsement?
Let me guess: he was appointed to Parks commission by Zahra.
Ahaha. Let’s hear all about Oscar’s “recklessness.”
Deep roots or not, Valadez is a Bushala puppet who has governed recklessly on the planning commission.
This post reeks of desperation and weakness
He “turned tension into trust.”
I’m waiting for him to turn water into wine, then he’ll get my vote!
Translation: he sat in on a meeting where staff jammed pickleball down somebody’s throat.
I’m feeling tense…
Where did the Dems find this child? The Epstein flight logs?
William Pitt was Prime Minister at 24.
probably on there with bushala
Why do all the young democrats running for local office look like gay 70s porn stars?
Tender Elijah, JoZeffph, Connor Traut, Tony Castro — all different variations of 1970s gay porn stars and all definitely on the submissive side.
Makes you wonder if Zahra will run again.
Had to put the token child in the photo. These progressive politiholes have no shame and no talent.
His list of endorsers also includes Elizabeth Hansburg, who, unannounced, resigned from Fullerton’s Planning Commission in the middle of a meeting over which she was presiding as Chair, and walked out of the building.
Ah, Elizabeth Hansburglar, whose job was to shake down developers for contributions for her stamp of approval on projects. There’s another FFFF take down.
