Both Deligianni-Brydges and Pauly
had previously announced their candidacy and had already started
campaigning and taken part in a candidate forum.
Pauly who is no stranger to controversy
having made national headlines with her firebrand Tea Party-style
pronouncements against Muslims and Obama-care, made more headlines after annoucing her campign then being arrested and accused of DUI in an drving accident.
In September of last year, Pauly
was arrested in Anaheim
for hitting a parked car while driving and charged with DUI. Her trial proceedings on the DUI
charge are set to start in May.
Media reports had her DUI controversy morphing into another anti-Muslim rant with reports of her blaming Muslim groups in remarks to police officers the night of her arrest and then blaming Muslim groups for leaking her arrest to the media.

on her blog as "freelance writer, designer and filmaker". Her books include: Sh!t No One Tells You About Toddlers & The Sh!t No One Tells You: A Guide to Surviving Your Baby's First Year.
On her website, Deligianni's campaign consultant Dias explains:

partner, two kids, two dogs, two cats, and the occasional mouse brought into
the home by said cats. She is tired.

In the recent Area 1 Trustee appointment debacle, Deligianni passed over voting for now Trustee Andrea Yamasaki and Timothy Surridge's hand picked candidate Greg Salas for Deligianni's close friend, former campaign manager and Orange County Political blogger-Chris Nguyen.
Both Deligianni and Pauly worked against the last Orange Unified School District Facilities Bond-Measure K.
Deligianni's website and Facebook
page calls for lower gasoline prices and states that she will fight for lower
gasoline prices-but does not indicate how she will accomplish this goal over
the multi-national petroleum companies-or as a member of the minority party in
an overwhelmingly Democratic State Legislature.
In a recent community forums Deligianni has spoken against Common Core and mandatory public school vaccinations.
