What a great afternoon. In between campaign stops, I attended the formal dedication ceremony for “Angelic Duet,” a 38-foot tall stainless steel sculpture by artist James Russell. The iconic piece is located in the back (or front, your call) of the Caremore building located at the Towne Center Drive off ramp on the 91 Freeway.
The artwork is composed of two linear stainless steel structures. The taller piece is 38 feet tall, and the shorter piece is 36 feet tall. The contemporary art piece has strong, clean bold lines paired with gentle undulating curves.

The artwork was originally commissioned by the State of California in 1978 as part of its Art in Public Places program, and was installed at the Junipero Serra State Office Building in Los Angeles. Subsequently the building was sold to the federal government and the artwork was removed and stored in Sacramento since 2003. Over the years, the California Arts Council was unable to find a suitable location for the piece, and decided to seek an agency with a well recognized public art program that would provide a prominent location for the sculpture.

The California Arts Council and the California Department of General Services are making the piece available to the City of Cerritos at no cost for 30 years, with options available to renegotiate the contract prior to the expiration date.

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.”
