Three folks ran, and two of the community activists who helped expose Placentia's shenanigans, Greg Sowards and Joe Aguirre (scion to the most important OC family you've never heard of) are comfortably ahead. If these two win, they will prove that grassroots activists do have a chance in this land of corruption a-plenty.
