The Steven Sherry Experience
Fullerton Boohoo comes in all shapes and sizes, but its members share one thing in common: a desperate drive to support Democrat Party candidates. Fullerton Forward, the brain child of someone called Steven Sherry is no exception. “Building a Better Future for All Fullertonians” is Sherry’s slogan #1. Slogan #2 is about “values”:
But you can forget the high-minded rhetoric. Fullerton Forward is really about helping the sort of candidates who pretend to profess this credo – brain-dead Democrats – the tax ’em then help ’em out via government ilk. These were the same sort of hypocrites who cooked up all the bullshit pretexts to keep Jesus Quirk-Silva on the City Council a few years back.
We met Fullerton Forward a few weeks ago as Sherry orchestrated a comical People’s Council meeting with limited pizza. The Fullerton Observer wouldn’t say who was behind the get together that attracted the cream of Fullerton Crazy’s crop, and that appointed immigration fraud “Dr.” Ahmad Zahra as the People’s Mayor.
According to the Fullerton Forward website, an individual named Linda Gardner is on the group’s 3 person “advisory council” whatever that title may mean. Here’s her bio:
Linda “…has been active in local and state politics for many years, serving as President of Democrats of North Orange County for six years and continuing to be an active member. Linda has actively worked on campaigns for California Governor, Senate and Assembly as well as Fullerton City Council and major propositions and recalls.
Linda is currently a Delegate for the California Democratic Party. She is passionate about positive change for the future of Fullerton.”
Sherry a former Democrat lobbyist, boasts about himself:
For over a decade, he has also worked in political campaigns, founding his own consulting firm, NewWave Strategies, in 2020. Through his firm, Steven has raised millions for clients nationwide and built highly effective, resourceful advertising campaigns.
Most of this is undoubtedly made up, and after you finish this post you may think the same thing.
This guy looks an awful lot like the under-employed Andre Charles, husband of the insufferable hot air bag Shana whose employment history is sketchy, at best.
Anyhow, Fullerton Forward has finally submitted the necessary Form 460 required of political action committees after the June primary. This document is instructive for lots of reasons.
First, we can see several of Fullerton’s cyphers who contributed – like the failed Cannabis Kitty Jaramillo, who sued the City so she could get elected; and our old friend, the pathetic election fraud participant, Diane Vena, who endorsed Jaramillo then signed the nominating papers of the phony candidate/confessed perjurer Scott Markowitz. We see you angry liitle eye doctor Anjali Tapadia; and you too, developer shake down artist Elizabeth Hansberg; Aha, over there, indignant front parlor antique, Karen Lloreda, recalled from the Dana Point City Council, and come to Fullerton to roost in the municipal rafters.
Sherry raised almost $17K, which looks okay. But wait. There are only two main contributors:
As we will see, one is frequent Council irritant Helen Higgins, and the other is some dude named Joel Maus, which means “mouse” in English. I have no idea what his motivation is. Maybe he’ll drop by to tell us. He’s the $5K “small business” moneybags.
Like Andre Charles, Mr. Sherry seems to believe that personally doing well by doing good is his life’s path. How’s that? you ask.
Because according to the Form 460 Schedule E, Sherry paid himself almost $6000 for the campaign he ran against Fred Jung in the primary, a campaign that only lasted a couple months. I won’t even share the percentages of Sherry’s cost versus the totals he spent and raised, because the Form 460 Schedule E totals don’t add up to the total expenditures listed on the Form 460 top summary.
The best part of Sherry’s activities, with his name almost obscured, was this remarkable payment he made to himself: $4560.80 for “fundraising.” WTF?
I love the amount this honest and transparent political action committee paid to scofflaw Mario Marovic for holding their fundraiser at “Madero 1899,” even as his fake Irish pub across the street still illegally squats on the Commonwealth sidewalk. Did the dummy Sherry list the cost of the Big Fundraising Party twice, somehow? If so, the numbers still wouldn’t add up to the summary page, so it hardly matters.
Naturally, Sherry paid his tribute to the Democrat Party of OC – $500 on April 27th – confirming the purely partisan nature of his new plaything.
By the way, I’m informed that Sherry’s self-serve creation is also now the object of an FPPC complaint, dealing with illegal campaign sign disclosure rules.
Finally, we are we really to believe somebody who spent a lot to raise a little, and who, as treasurer and “Executive Director” of a PAC can’t seem to add, has “raised millions for nationwide clients?” Yeah, sure, Steve, whatever you say.
Almost half the money raised came from only two donors. If I were on that “Advisory Council” I’d be asking some serious questions of Mr. Sherry. Of course that won’t happen.
The guy made a job for himself. That’s entrepreneurial!
This cluster will undoubtedly gather behind that Maldonado kid – another Brandman-Traut climber.
And verifiably so, if you compare their campaign materials. In one of them the sartorially challenged Maldonado appears to have borrowed the very same horse blanket blue plaid sports jacket worn by Traut in his endless mailer pictures. Maybe Fullerton Forward can organize a clothing drive for their candidates.
I hope that $ 5,000 donor is happy knowing that his contribution didn’t even cover all of the salary for someone who raised only $ 16,000 overall. That kind of spending in the non-profit world would be a huge red flag to prospective donors.
I don’t know if that Sherry “FND” money was to recover an outlay. It’s bad either way.
The money was enough for a few banners and some signs that say FRAUD JUNG. So witty! Because Fraud sounds close to Fred and Jung is a fraud because he married a white chick in Alabama and is a director of many highly rated films on IMDB. Oh wait…
I think you meant Arkansas. But same diff, I guess.
Note that the filing date of the 460 was May 21, but it didn’t appear on the city website, the only online place it would be found, until AFTER the June 2 election, leaving voters clueless about what this PAC is and who is funding it.
The PAC was created a year ago. I wonder if any reportable activity took place. Somebody is right about the signs. The font on the disclosure was way too small.
And didn’t list a major donor. I don’t know what the threshold is, but one donor responsible for nearly a third of contributions seems major enough to me.
Yeah, well, Sherry has raised millions for clients so who are we to question his veracity.
Good to see a small part of Fullerton Boohoo chip in to the Steven Sherry Experience. But where is Maldondo, where is Tender Young Elijah, where is Oliver, the No-account of Montecristo? Where is Jensen Hallstrom, where is “Z” and where are the Kennedy Sisters? Where is our old friend Curtis Gamble. Where is Ms. Canadian Green Card Benefits recipient?
Those young bucks don’t have any money. I notice Sherry didn’t kick in anything although one of his “Advisory Council” did, and so a relation of another.
Can’t they chip in with a few McDonald’s vouchers?
OCTA passes?
What’s the deal with using MAGAspeak to call the Democratic Party the “Democrat Party?” Democratic candidates are Democrats. Why don’t you call the Republican Party the “Republic Party?”
They call themselves Democrats. Hence the name Democrat Party. Nobody calls himself a Republic, dummy.
Of course they don’t, because the party is called The Republican Party. The formal name of the major opposition is The Democratic Party. One wouldn’t call oneself a Democratic because it’s grammatically incorrect
This “Democrat Party” misnomer seems to have originated in brain dead right wing talk/hate radio.
Be proud of your heritage, Democratic.
Not me. Funk dem Democratics. I’m a Grammertarian.
We’re all dumber for having read this comment.
Hey hey hey. That’s dumocrat.
It looks like Sherry spent $14,000 if you add up the individual Schedule E pages. Something is terribly amiss.
Unless I’m mistaken, the second 410 form showing the date they qualified with the Sec of State was filed with the city way back in March of this year, but also just appeared on the last week on the city’s website. What the hell is going on in the City Clerk’s office?
The first 410 was filed with the City in July, 2025.
But mariked “Not yet qualified.”
Yea, it’s a mess, even though it seems to have been filed by a professional outfit in Lakeskde. Watch for hastily amended filings, but you’ll. Have to go to the city clerk office in person to see them unless you want to wait a few months for them to be uploaded to the city website.
“Economic and Community Development,” ha ha ha! What have either Zahra or Charles done for Fullerton’s economy? Maybe Zahra can brag about opening two new bars where only one existed before or the renaming of another, all owned by someone squatting on a public sidewalk.
What does anybody in City Hall know about economic development?
I got a kick out of that, too. Zahra and Charles think blocking off a commercial street is economic development.
Anyone living in California knows that the Democratic Party opposes open dialogue, transparency, and accountability at every turn. The most recent election only served as evidence to solidify this fact.
Absolutely true. I’ve seen it too many times to ignore it.
Go to Alabama or Arkansas and see what kind of open dialog you get. The two parties are each brain-dead. But the Republicans are traitors.
If your defense of California democrats cites Alabama, you’re in bad shape.
We’re all in bad shape. Red states are the most fucked up.
You’re obviously a success and efficiency dyslexic.
Move to Mississippi and see how you like it.
It’s fascinating to watch Fullerton’s dwindling cadre of the backward-looking old guard use this “blog” to confirm exactly why their influence is slipping away. If the goal is to showcase the disconnect between your rhetoric and what voters actually want, Jung’s resounding defeat in the supervisor’s race stands as an extremely loud clap back. Why no mention of Sherry’s absolutely brilliant “Fraud Jung” signs? Why no mention on this post of Jung’s “soul crushing” loss in the primary? Why no discussion of why voters rejected him and the fact that he came in dead last? For a group that revels in trying to humiliate people through petty, tasteless attacks, the silence on the biggest political story in Fullerton speaks volumes.
Hi Linda. Since this blog never endorsed Jung your comment is irrelevant. Our “rhetoric” actually has very little to do with Jung’s voting record.
Anyway, your humiliated Jung has taken his medicine. I wouldn’t wait for a happier version.
If you think Steven Sherry is brilliant I feel sort of bad for you. He does seem to possess a knack at making work for himself and then writing checks to himself, so he’s got that going for him.
Let’s see how things work out for him in November in the 5th District election. Of course he will pay himself no matter what.
Thank you for visiting our humble blog. Good to know the Boohoos are paying attention.
If you count lying as brilliance (like Traut, who falsely claimed in a mailer that Jung was a MAGA conservative). Where is the “Fraud?” in Jung? He is authentically himself, for better or worse.
What fraud has Fred Jung committed? Did he marry someone fraudulently to get into the country? Did he pretend to write articles for a newspaper that were actually written by a public relations staffer? Did he file a false police report against a fellow council member? No, no, and no. That was someone else.
It seems to me that his opposition are using the MAGA method of baselessly calling their opponents what they are themselves—frauds.
Compared to the legal fraud “Dr.” Ahmad Zahra has committed Jung looks like an angel.
There is no youth movement that is going to take over Fullerton for boohoodom, Linda. Just a couple of unemployed mid 20s somethings living off other people.
Linda is Elijahs dead name
More likely a relative of Self-dealing Sherry.
You don’t know how to read forms. Schedule G shows that the payments made were reimbursements. Most small organizations like Fullerton Forward, unlike Bushala’s PAC, don’t have debit or credit cards. Expenses are made by a controlling member and then reimbursed. Schedule G shows what those reimbursements are for. But you’re all so retarded it doesn’t matter anyways you’d read the form how you want to interpret it no matter what it says.
The schedule G shows a payment to Madera, not who paid it. And it doesn’t equal the payment Stevie paid to himself. How’s that for transparency?
The payment Sherry made to himself was on Schedule E, Einstein.
Stop calling people retards, Steve.
