Gaddi Vasquez is co-chair of fund raiser for Sandra Hutchens, new sherriff of Orange County
Either listed as co-chairs, in attendance, or both, were: New Majority types Tom Tucker and Dale
Dykema; the Argyroses, car dealers Fletcher Jones and Don Crevier, developers Dan Young(Irvine
Co.) and William Lyon; (forgive me if this is starting to read like a Reiff column, just a
few more), current or former politicians John Moorlach, Gaddi Vasquez, Bill Steiner and Diane
Harkey; and, most important, two of my Follies castmates, Sonya Bella and Mia Maffei. Former Peace
Corps Director Gaddi H. Vasquez was U.S. ambassador to U.N. food agencies based in Rome and is now
Executive Director at the Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands.

Sandra Hutchens was appointed sheriff just one year ago, replacing Mike Carona. I hit her fundraiser
Thursday night at the Island Hotel and found her already kneedeep in the process of trying to keep
the job. There's less than a year to go before the June primary.
While Hutchens had a few smaller political events in recent months, this was by far her most
successful, according to her fundraising consultant, Julie Paule, raising about $95,000. The list of
attendees and donors to the $500-a-plate affair was impressively broad.
Perhaps most significantly, she has captured some of the big-money players who helped fund Carona.
These aren't people who were in Carona's inner circle or (necessarily) got
concealed-weapons permits or badges, but they are people who Carona successfully courted (or
vice-versa), knew him on a first-name basis and could probably get him on the phone any time.
Like: car dealer Dennis Assael(BMW), restaurateur Antonio Cagnolo(Antonello),
physician J. Brennan Cassidy(CMA president), businessman Paul Musco(Gemini
Industries), developer Donna Porter(!) and others.
Either listed as co-chairs, in attendance, or both, were: New Majority types Tom Tucker and Dale
Dykema; the Argyroses, car dealers Fletcher Jones and Don Crevier, developers Dan Young(Irvine
Co.) and William Lyon; (forgive me if this is starting to read like a Reiff column, just a
few more), current or former politicians John Moorlach, Gaddi Vasquez, Bill Steiner and Diane
Harkey; and, most important, two of my Follies castmates, Sonya Bella and Mia Maffei.
L.A. County Sheriff Lee Baca gave Hutchens a 13-minute introduction in which he said the two
"are like brother and sister." Hutchens spoke relatively briefly but basically said her
motivation to seek election comes from those who "every day" tell her, "Thank you for
restoring integrity to the Sheriff's Department."
