I wanted to give a "shout out" today to my pal Joe Esquivel who was named Mayor of Lakewood, California last night.

Larry Van Nostran was named vice mayor.

Mayor Joe is an icon in Lakewood. His quick wit, and kind heart has made him one of the most respected and popular leaders in our entire region.

Joe was first elected to the Lakewood City Council in 1990 and was re-elected in 1994, 1999, 2003, and 2007. (He ran unopposed in the election of 1999, a first in the city's history.) He previously served four terms as Lakewood's mayor.

Before he was elected to the city council, Mayor Esquivel was a member of the Lakewood Recreation and Community Services Commission. He served as the chairman during six terms.

He also is a former president of the California Contract Cities Association. He served as Legislative Chairman and Secretary-Treasurer of the association before becoming its president. Mayor Esquivel is a member of the Lakewood Rotary Club and served for many years as the coordinator of the Rotary Club's annual Project Shepherd holiday assistance program.

Vice Mayor Van Nostran was first elected to the city council following a special election in 1975. He served his eighth term as mayor in 2006-2007.

So, life in Lakewood is good today. W2G Joe!

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.”
