In my "vacation" mail I received an unexpected invitation to a fundraiser for Harry Sidhu, the Anaheim City Councilman who is running for the 33rd State Senate seat against GOP stalward and conservative Assemblywoman Mimi Walters.  The event is a special seating at an Angels game, but it featured recently-elected Board of Equalization member Michelle Steel as a cosponsor.  Michelle Steel is a leading light in the Republican Party, like Walters, and the highest ranking Korean-American elected official in the nation.  Like her husband, Shawn, she is a "hard-core" conservative.  The fact that she is co-chairing a fundraiser for Sidhu (whom I do not know) seems to be significant, given Walter’s conservative credentials.  Can an endorsement for Sidhu from former GOP state chair Shawn Steel also be in the offing?  My head is realing!  Is this seat really up for grabs?
