Sad News: The Passing of Noah Krom, 22, son of Irvine Councilwoman Beth Krom

NOAH KROM-- 1987-2009

I was sadden to see that Noah Krom, the son of my friend Irvine City Councilwoman Beth Krom died over the weekend after an apparent fall from an Isla Vista cliff.

Noah was just 22 years old and was a student at the University of California at Santa Barbara. He was suppose to be graduating from the University this week by receiving a degree in business Sunday, according to Melahat Rafiei, Beth Krom's campaign manager.

I first met Beth back when she first got elected to the Irvine City Council in 2000, and she and I and Melahat worked tirelessly for former Vermont Governor Howard Dean in his campaign for the Democratic nomination for President in 2004. Noah was always full of energy and full of zest, he will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Tonight I pray from the Krom Family, and ask you to do the same. Noah, seen above in the middle, leaves behind his brother Hershel Krom, sister Abby Krom, and dad Solly Krom and mom Beth.

RIP, Noah!

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
