In case you missed it, North Orange County Assemblywoman accused of coercion, intimidation, and retaliation to alleged victims of sexual assault.
Dr. Alexandria Coronado Releases Official Statement Regarding Opponent and Assemblywoman Quirk-Silva’s Allegations of Retaliation From Former Staffer
ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. – “If Sharon Quirk-Silva engaged in tactics of coercion, intimidation, and retaliation to silence alleged victims of sexual assault, she should immediately resign from the Assembly. Voters deserve to know whether or not a candidate could end up being taken away in handcuffs before they go to the ballot box. Quirk-Silva owes the public nothing short of full transparency as it relates to the allegations, events, and individuals involved in this situation.” – Dr. Alexandria Coronado

Sharon Quirk Silva and her pals
65th Assembly District candidate Sharon Quirk-Silva announced yesterday that she has received endorsements “from all seven City of Santa Ana council members including Mayor Miguel Pulido.”
Does Quirk-Silva know what district she is running for? The 65th Assembly District does not include even one block of Santa Ana. The 65th Assembly District includes parts of these cities: Continue reading
Former State Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva held a St. Patrick’s Day fundraiser tonight to raise money for her next campaign. That’s right she is going to try to win back her seat in the 65th Assembly District in two years – in 2016.
Quirk-Silva was soundly defeated by a former Ed Royce staffer, Young Kim, in the November, 2014 General Election. Kim got over 42,000 votes and Quirk-Silva barely cleared 35,000 votes.
The 2014 General Election was a tough one for the O.C. Democrats. They also lost in the 34th State Senate District, where Janet Nguyen trounced former State Assemblyman Jose Solorio. And the Democratics on the Irvine and Huntington Beach City Councils got the boot as well. Continue reading

FULLERTON CITY COUNCIL HONORS SHARON QUIRK-SILVA
FULLERTON, CA – Former Assemblywoman, Mayor, and City Councilwoman Sharon Quirk-Silva was recognized for her 10 years of service as an elected official during a December 17 Fullerton City Council meeting.
Mayor Greg Sebourn presented a City Council proclamation in front of a capacity audience who showed their appreciation with a sustained standing ovation for Quirk-Silva.
Councilwoman Jan Flory, who requested the proclamation, noted that Quirk-Silva was being inaugurated to the State Assembly in Sacramento when the council reorganized in December of 2012. Continue reading
Orange County Democrats were ecstatic when former Fullerton Mayor Sharon Quirk-Silva knocked off Chris Norby in 2012, in the 65th Assembly District. They partied hard but the party is over now that former Ed Royce staffer Young Kim has trounced Quirk-Silva in the 2014 General Election.
This was not a casual loss for the Democrats. It may well end up costing them their super majority in the State Assembly – an uncertain matter as several Assembly seats are still in close contention.
Make no doubt about it – retaining the 65th Assembly District was the major goal of the Democratic Party of Orange County in the 2014 General Election. They failed – and there are several good reasons for that. Continue reading
