Assemblyman Roger Hernandez (D-West Covina) is in a heap of trouble.
In 2014, he was a vulnerable Democratic under investigation from the Fair Political Practices Commission.

Now he is challenging another ethically challenged incumbent, Grace Napolitano.
And the stories about him just get worse:
From the Los Angeles Times:
Judge orders West Covina assemblyman to stay away from wife
following domestic violence allegations

Ouch!
A California assemblyman seeking a congressional seat has
been ordered to stay away from his estranged wife, a Baldwin Park City Council
member, after she said he violently abused her during their marriage.

Democrats should be ordered to stay away from public office in the state of California!
Four California Democratic lawmakers were arrested, indicted, and/or convicted for serious public integrity/corruption charges in 2014. Their spate of corruption continues unabated.
What is the matter with these people? Do they really believe that they are above the law, or something?!
Los Angeles County Superior Court Commissioner Alan
Friedenthal granted a temporary restraining order Wednesday that requires
Assemblyman Roger Hernandez (D-West Covina) to have no contact with
Councilwoman Susan Rubio, whom he is divorcing.

The Democrats are facing deep divides in the state of California. The grassroots v. the Establishment, and now they have to start asking themselves: "Will more races come down to who is out of jail and who is still siting in jail?"

Steve Fox is the attorney? Is this the same one who lost an assembly seat in 2014 to Tom Lackey?
There's a who lot of trouble brewing in the San Gabriel/710 corridor.
Napolitano has caught with her hand in the political cookie jar, too!
From the Los Angeles Times:
Napolitano herself came under fire in 2009 when it was
reported that she collected at least $158,000 in interest on loan she made to
her 1998 campaign.

From Breitbart:
Rep. Grace Napolitano has bagged at least
$294,245 since 1998 by loaning her congressional campaign money at interest
rates up to 18%–a scheme that effectively funneled campaign contributor
donations directly into her personal bank account.

The self-loan ruse was exposed Sunday night during a joint

Wow! Democrats make a stink about Republicans who rely on donors to pay for their campaigns. Then they take taxpayer dollars through high interest schemes to fund their own?!
After numerous attempts to interview Napolitano, Kroft
finally confronted her outside a Hispanic Caucus meeting.

| Napolitano double-dips taxpayers with political loans |
OH! So it's because she's brown? She could not get a necessary loan to finance her campaign from a bank, so she took tax money.
And they refused her because she is Hispanic …
More like ethically challenged. And she does not live in the district that she represents, either.
Playing the race card is getting all played out. Someone needs to deal Napolitano out of her district

In 1998, Rep. Grace Napolitano (D-CA) loaned her
congressional campaign $150,000 at a staggering 18% interest. Napolitano then
let the loan linger unpaid for 20 years. In the first decade of the loan,
Napolitano bagged $200,000 in interest payments. Then in 2006, Napolitano
lowered the interest rate to 10% and kept drawing interest checks. In the 2008
and 2010 elections, the California Democrat pocketed another $94,245 in
interest.

WHAT?!
So, Roger Hernandez is a wife-beater, and Napolitano a tax cheater.
Can't the San Gabriel Valley do better these two Corruptos?!
