Michelle Fournier: Fundraiser planned to support son of slain mother from Seal Beach attack

A fundraiser will be held for Dominic, the 8-year old son of Michelle Fournier, who was killed in a shooting at Salon Meritage in Seal Beach October 12. The event will take place on Saturday, November 5 from 2pm to 6pm at Tracy’s Bar and Grill, 5511 E. Spring St. in Long Beach. For a $5 donation, attendees will enjoy hors d'oeuvres and entrees provided by Jill’s Gourmet to Casual Catering, and live music by MO50. Businesses and members of the community are encouraged to donate items for door prizes and a silent auction to be held at the event. Full menu and full bar are also available.
Sharlene Glover, one of the event’s organizers, has known Michelle’s family for nearly 15 years. “I grew up around the corner from Chelsea and Chad. We even walked to school together. When I found out what happened, I knew I had to do something to help them out.”
“My mother was a beautiful loving mother of three and she would have been so grateful for all the things people have done for her family and her children”, said Chelsea Huff, who is Dominic’s sister. She is also his legal guardian and is petitioning for full custody. “I am personally overwhelmed with gratitude for people like Sharlene who have gone out of their way to help our family and my little brother.”
100% of all donations for food, door prizes, and auction items will be deposited into the Michelle Fournier Memorial Trust, which will benefit Michelle’s children. Donations may be made directly to the Trust account at 801 Pacific Coast Highway, Seal Beach, CA 90740. A PayPal account has been established for people out of the area who have expressed interest in helping Dominic, but cannot attend. The PayPal link can be found on the Dollars for Dominic Facebook page.
For information regarding donations, contact Melissa at dollars4dominic@gmail.com, or Sharlene at 562.355.9867.

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.”
