RIP: Former California State Senator Marian Bergeson has died at age 90. She brought Class, Elegance, Determination and Integrity to Sacramento

Sad news today out of The OC.

Former California State Senator Marian Bergeson has passed away at the age of 90. To have Marian Bergeson as a friend was a true Blessing, and she embodied "class and elegance" as a lawmaker here in The Golden State. We need more folks and leaders like Marian here in public office. Today is a sad day, but Heaven has a new Angel. RIP

Here is a note from the California Republican Party....

'Marian Bergeson was an inspiration. As the first woman to serve in both the State Senate & Assembly she was an exceptional leader and role model for generations of young women. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family today, she will be missed by many.' - Cynthia Bryant, CRP Executive Director

MARIAN BERGESON, FIRST WOMAN TO SERVE IN BOTH LEGISLATIVE HOUSES, DIES

Dan Walters | Sacramento Bee

‘Marian Bergeson, the first woman to serve in both the state Assembly and the Senate and an influential player in public education policy, died Wednesday.

She was 90.

Bergeson, who represented the affluent Newport Beach area of Orange County in the Legislature for nearly two decades, also was the 1990 Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, an Orange County supervisor after leaving the Legislature, former Gov. Pete Wilson’s education secretary, a member of the state Board of Education and a two-term appointee to the state Transportation Commission.’

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.”
