A couple months ago Sherry Hodges (once a staffer for Assemblyman Martin Garrick, then after some sort of fight now a staffer for Orange County Assemblywoman Diane Harkey) declared for State Assembly. The general feeling around town was that Hodges had the endorsement of Martin Garrick. I wondered about it though in a post a few weeks back… the Garrick people were acting weird.
Turns out I was right. Garrick has been calling around today to Republican leaders. He’s angry – really angry – seems Hodges is saying he “supports her” run for Assembly. I put that in quotes because the wording is important. Sounds like there was some kind of explosion recently over whether Hodges is telling donors that Martin “supports” her and if this is the implication (is that the right word) of an endorsement. Point is Garrick is working overtime to cut Hodges off. With Mark Muir and Marie Waldron and possibly Rocky Chavez in the race this is not a positive development for Hodges.
