The special election to fill the 1st Supervisor District seat here in OC — a consequence of Lou Correa’s election to the state Senate — has been an interesting one.
This weekend, however, it really took a turn for the weird.
One of the candidates is Garden Grove school board trustee Trung Nguyen, who’s being backed by the formidable political operation of Assemblyman Van Tran and more than a $100,000 of his own money.
This weekend a Trung Nguyen for Supervisor campaign ad appeared in the Vietnamese-langauge newspaper Vien Dong, inwhich Trung has obviously been Photoshopped into a photo with Gov. Schwarzenegger at a Lynn Daucher for Senate rally last year.
There’s been no comment yet from the Trung Nguyen campaign.
Here’s the Photoshopped picture:
Compare it with other photos of the rally — including what Trung was really wearing — here on Red County/OC Blog.
