Mitre -Ramirez, Norma From: Sent: Friday, March 22, 2019 12:45 PM To: Solorio, Jose; Villegas, Juan; Pulido, Miguel; Iglesias, Cecilia; Sarmiento, Vicente; Penaloza, David Cc: City Council; Mitre -Ramirez, Norma Subject: Ward 4 #NeverPhil Importance: High Greetings Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem & Council I felt it important that I email you regarding your appointment for Ward 4 City Councilmember. 15C I believe that you should seriously consider doing a special election and partner with SAUSD. This would just make sense and you can split the cost of the special election with them. 2nd the appointment of the next council member please DO NOT consider Phil Becerra! The accusation of his abuse to his formal girlfriend, are true. There was no conspiracy on getting the message out about his character. When Griselda de Santos, approached me with her concerns of him running, she was in pain of seeing his signs posted everywhere. Seeing his signs brought back the abuse she endured and triggered all those feelings anger, hurt & fear. We did the only thing we could and that was share his abuse and behavior on social media. We felt it was the only way to get the message out and it worked. If someone picked it up and used the information to send political campaign material, that is on them, not Griselda. However the truth got out and that is WHY he lost the campaign. It's truly a shame that Roman Reyna did what he did, but please don't punish the constituents by appointing a known abuser. I know all of you believe in nonviolence and are against domestic violence. Some of you even belong to organizations, helping women who have been abused. Some of you, if not all of you know women, who have been abused and you know that these feelings are real It take years to get over the trauma, if she ever gets over it, PTSD is real! Please appoint with your conscience and what is best for Santa Ana. #NEVERPHIL #IBELIEVEHER Thank You Tish Leon U
