Election Update: Fred Gaine's PAC contradicts itself on the same day

Fred Gaines can’t have it both ways!

Today, Calabasas Democrats and Republicans received two mailers, separately, from the "independent" PAC run by Fred Gaines. 

In one mailer, sent to Democratic households, he recommends “Calabasas Democrats” vote for his cronies Mary Sue Maurer and appointee David J. Shapiro. Voters should be aware, the LA County Democratic Party endorsed only Jody Thomas in this campaign, mostly due to David J. Shapiro’s long history of violations and misconduct.  Senator Pavley and the LA County Firefighters endorsed Jody as well.

Fred also sent out another mailer today, this one to Republican voters, attacking Jody for being a Democrat!  Fred Gaines attacked Jody Thomas for being a member in good standing of his own party. The same party he told to vote for their fellow Democrats.

There is an expression for this: Fred Gaines is talking out of both sides of his mouth: telling Dems to vote for his chosen candidates and telling Republicans to fear the Democratic Party.

In the old days, Fred could get away with these political shenanigans, but with today’s technology, his hypocrisy can be exposed in real time so voters can know the truth.

When informed of these mailers, Jody H. Thomas said, “I have always been transparent that I am a Democrat, but my message of good governance, smaller local government and transparency appeals to Republicans just as well as Democrats.  This is a non partisan position and I will represent ALL residents.  If you visit my website at www.JodyThomasforCouncil.com you will see that my ideas of restoring checks and balances is very appealing to my Republican friends and neighbors.”
