Mark Bucher Endorses Conservative WagnerWednesday, February 10, 2010 |
"Never been afraid to go toe-to-toe with the public employee unions."
Irvine, California – Mark Bucher, one of California's leading conservative activists, has announced his support of Don Wagner, Republican candidate for the 70th Assembly District and president of the South Orange County Community College Board of Trustees.
"On the Community College Board, Conservative Don Wagner has been a consistent vote for fiscal accountability and educational excellence. He's never been afraid to go toe-to-toe with the public employee unions if those unions weren't putting students and education first."
Bucher has been a vocal critic of the power and influence of labor unions in California, which led him to found the Education Alliance, a group dedicated to assisting school board candidates who are independent of education unions. He has been instrumental in landmark ballot initiatives like Proposition 226, which would have required unions to receive permission to use their members' dues for political purposes; Propositions 174 and 38 promoting school choice; and Proposition 22, the Defense of Marriage Initiative.
"No one has done more for education reform than Mark Bucher and I am grateful to him for dedicating himself to fighting the unions' corrosive impact on education in California," said Wagner. "We have worked together at the South Orange County Community Colleges to minimize the influence of the unions and I plan to continue that fight as a member of the State Assembly. The public employee unions are destroying our state and we need to rein them in."
Don Wagner and his wife, Megan, and their three children live in Irvine. He is a graduate of UCLA and the University of California, Hastings College of Law. Don has been elected to three consecutive terms on the Board of Trustees of the South Orange County Community College District, and currently serves as the Board's president. Don was a founder of the Orange County chapter of the Federalist Society, a nationwide organization of 40,000 conservative lawyers, law students, and scholars dedicated to preserving the rule of law from activist courts.
