Campbell endorsed by John Moorlach
State Sen. John Campbell announced Friday he's bagged an
endorsement from Orange County Treasurer-Tax Collector John Moorlach
in the 48th District congressional race.
Shortly after former Rep. Chris Cox was nominated to chair the
Securities and Exchange Commission, Moorlach debated running for the
House seat himself, but he decided to stick to his campaign for the
2nd District Orange County Supervisor's seat.
Campbell, a Republican, is one of 10 GOP hopefuls who will face
off in a special primary Oct. 4. A total of 17 candidates will appear
on the ballot.
Moorlach, also a Republican, said he singled out Campbell because
they have similar backgrounds in accounting and because both are
fiscal conservatives.

Month-long focus is on preparing for crises
September is National Preparedness Month, an initiative sponsored
by the American Red Cross and the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security. Throughout the month, the Costa Mesa Citizen Corps will
promote residents' involvement in emergency preparedness.
The coalition is responsible for all of the city's volunteer
organizations, including the Costa Mesa Community Emergency Response
Team.
The Red Cross and the Homeland Security Department encourage
everyone to make an emergency supply kit, to create a family
emergency plan, to be informed, and to get involved in their
communities.
Anyone interested in how to be prepared in the event of an
emergency should visit the Homeland Security website,
o7www.ready.govf7.
