Proof of Why We Need to Recall Jamie Valencia
Valencia consistently sides with Fred Jung, NOT with voters.
Video Description: After listening to over an hour of public comment asking the council NOT to make Fred Jung mayor again, Valencia immediately nominates Jung.
Valencia frequently fails to understand the issues being presented to her.
Video Description: Councilmember Valencia accidentally votes in favor of the people who elected her and against the wishes of her campaign donor, then panics when she realizes her mistake.
Video Description: Councilmember Valencia fails to grasp what she's voting for, and asks the clerk how Charles voted (presumably so she can vote the opposite). When she continues to fail to understand and casts a vote in agreement with Charles, the city attorney steps in to try to help her vote the way Jung intended.
Valencia exhibits a pattern of disrespect for constituents and other councilmembers.
Video Description: Councilmember Jamie Valencia attempts to defend Fred Jung's proposal to consider making Fullerton a charter city by questioning a fellow councilmember's age. She smirks and calls it "comical" when others point out her question about the age of another charter (and the councilmember who worked on it) was irrelevant, given the charter is still in effect.
