The man credited with keeping Supervisor Janet Nguyen‘s office running while political skirmishes are fought left and right has announced he’s leaving, according to Voice of OC here.
Chief of Staff Andrew Do, who’s also a City Councilman of Garden Grove, intends to go back to practicing law.
Widely viewed as highly intelligent, very loyal, but with a streak of a temper, Do helped navigate Janet Nguyen’s 2007 campaign through the recounts and lawsuit that ended with a 3-vote win over Trung Nguyen.
In Janet Nguyen’s 2008 campaign for reelection, Do adeptly countered accusations by Assemblyman Van Tran (read here and here, e.g.) and his acolytes that Nguyen is a commie. (For that matter, Tran’s men also called Do a commie.)
Last month, however, Do appeared to have bungled a huge political opportunity. After cleverly obtaining a permit for Black April at the Westminster Vietnam War Memorial by applying 8 months in advance, Janet Nguyen’s office could have made her the Queen of Little Saigon by inviting everyone to the party. But no, somebody had to play mi casa ain’t su casa.
They tried to have their own party with their handpicked list of participants, keeping out some other community groups. Now, said “other community groups” may be unattractive for a number of reasons, but that’s no excuse for committing political malpractice.
As a result, Janet Nguyen lost her preferred time slot, got dragged through an unnecessary controversy, and made enemies where there were none before.
It’s not clear if it was Do’s idea or he was merely cleaning up after someone else’s mess, but Do was at or near the center of the dispute the whole time, getting on radio and fighting the “bad guys,” and representing Janet Nguyen at all the negotiations and meetings.
Do is a former prosecutor in the OC DA’s office, where his wife Cheri Pham still works. She’s on the ballot to fill the OC Superior Court seat left open when Judge Peter Polos retired. Pham is unopposed.
Sorry, but Van Tran can’t get any money from vietnamese voters. Its in the records. Why? because he hasn’t done shit for the community. Loretta Sanchez has the support of the community and it will show in November. All you people who think Tran will win are delusional and are in denial. Van Tran won’t even dare have a rally in Little Saigon because it would be embarassing for him because nobody would show up. Its the truth. I dare him to have a rally here. Come on Van, where are you? Come out and show your face to your people. hahaha you lost the support of your own people. Who going to vote for you? The white people? Give me a break. They wont vote for your yellow ass.
I am embarassed at Jung Kim. He is a low class dirty mouth low life who stalks the Bolsavik.com page all day. Find a girlfriend you loser.
….but, the girls at Cytrist say they will vote for me…
embarRassed, missing one more letter r? Only you should be sorry about yourself idiot!
I work here to make sure that our Viet community is heading to right direction… unity and empowerment. Now you may go suck on loser whore Loretta’s boob.
My girlfriend?…go ask Janet.
Our Viet community is supporting our Assemblyman Van Tran and the number of supporters/volunteers are growing as we are approaching November election day.
Thank you Assemblyman Va Tran!
We need you to get rid of anti Viet loser Loretta Sanchez!
She is against our Viet community members!…. and she supports killing innocent babies!
Loretta = BAD

Just Asking!
Didn’t I flush you down the toilet already, but you popped up again like a piece of human waste floating down the river? You belong to Loretta? I know that human manure stinks but I did not not know that you stink that bad!? Too much burrito and tacos mixed in with tequila. Ha ha ha!!
Hey Viet Voter the Lying Little Lolita. That’s why Van Tran has a Viet fundraiser and over 500 Viet showed up to give him money in Little Saigon. Yeah, read the papers and watch Viet TV, 500 people who actually donate right in the heart of the Viet community. No Viet politicians can pack em in like Tran. No argument, period!
Tran held an event in San Jose and got another 300 supporters to donate all the way up north in the Viet community. Where’s your taco eating Loretta? Too busy visiting Cuba and the Castro brothers?
Tran will get all the Viet and white votes. Thee goes the 47th for the Dems. The writing’s on the wall Viet lying Voter.
Van Tran kicks ass man! People are sick and tired of Loretta Sanchez. She’s been around for 14 years and got nothing to show but a lame record.
You can see the jealousy seething thru Tran’s haters. They are a bunch of losers.
Again, we are happy about our Viets coming all together to support our good Assemblyman Van Tran.

The same guy keeps writing good stuff about Van Tran under different names. How pathetic is this guy Junk Kim. He’s dilusional. Viets don’t even contribute money for Van Tran and he wouldn’t dare show up in public in Little Saigon because he doesn’t care about them and they don’t care about him. Poor guy. Oh well.
I’m beginning to think Junk Kim is pretending to write his stuff. Because nobody can be that dumb. He’s trying to make Vietnamese look bad. Tryin to sound like a racist right wing extremist nutjob retard. Are you real? If you are, then you are sad sad human being.
Hey Ho,
I feel bad for you living in a cave too long.
Van Tran is the most prominent Viet politician in California. End of story. No dispute. His long track record and accomplishments are there for all to see.
Tran is everywhere in the Viet community and he has raised over 600,000 dollars. Nobody gets that kind of support. Not even close.
Loretta is in trouble. She knows it too.
Ho Whatever,
I went to a Van Tran fundraising dinner in March and Tran had over 500 Vietnamese supporters at Seafood World. The restaurant was packed to capacity. Tran is very popular. He has been raising a boat load of money from the Vietnamese community.
There is a lot of excitement in the Vietnamese community to support Van Tran this November. Loretta Sanchez would be a fool to think that Tran does not have the support of the community.
Ho Chi Bean, are you jealous of our Viet’s success again?
More Viets are coming out to support our proud Assemblyman Van Tran than ever!
Go Viets!
Go Mr. Van Tran!

We must unseat Loretta this November!
Loretta looks down on our Viet community.
Loretta = BAD

I was at Albertsons and saw a rally where Van Tran was speaking and only 30 people were there. And of those 30 people, I was the only Vietnamese. And I was there to do groceries! I wish I had done my shopping already so I could throw some eggs at him. Here is the proof there was only 30 people there…

Hung, you were speaking to Mr. Van Tran in the front of Albertson’s ? Give me a break!
You must have been speaking to a cash register person for a proper change.
Stop dreaming and go kick joe mama Loretta out of her office right now!
http://www.sinksanchez.com
wow, I forgot to wake up and watch this capitalist corporate pig talk on Bolsa today.

Another wannabe Jung Kim.
Down with dumb Loretta!
Hung Dao,
You are a stupid little boy who worship taco and burrito eaters. Did you pick up trash at the Albertson’s parking lot or are you collecting cans? Remember not to steal shopping carts because that is a crime, even when you are homeless.
Hung Dao the homeless can collector at Albertson’s!
Hung Dao Vuong is not only homeless but also an unemployed bum to be wondering around Albertson’s parking lot in the middle of the day. Can collecting will buy you half a case of Corona beer. You need to eat a burrito first to go with the beer.
the only homeless person will be Van Tran once he loses to Sanchez. And Junk Kim, you are a racist dirty extremist low class conservative. Go protest da dao cong san with Ngo Ky and the other dirty old low class conservative extremist VNCH monkeys. Every time I see those protests I laugh at those losers because they are scum.
What are Loretta Sanchez’s skills when she is defeated and will have to find a real job? She can date militay escorts and give whiny meaningless speeches.
It is time for change. Sanchez needs to get out after 14 years. She’s a joke and a disgrace.
Ngo more Loretta Sanchez pandering and BSing the Vietnamese community. She hasn’t done anything for the Vietnamese except talk. Talk is cheaper than dirt Loretta.
Good for Tan Nguyen exposing this old bag. Dump Sanchez signs are everywhere in Central OC!
Loretta’s going down Democrats. Abandon ship now or you will go down with this do nothing excuse of a legislator.
Loretta continues to mock against our Viet community people.
She needs to get pregnant in order to understand true love.
Get rid of Anti Viet Loretta!

Here is an article talking about how Van Tran can’t get support of the Vietnamese people and can’t raise any money. The only people giving him money are in San Jose and some are connected to the communist government. Hope you have a tissue box Junk Kim, because you’re gonna cry after reading this.
