I chided him for his lottery talk, but Dean Florez is a political star in the making and a genuine success story - Shafter High, BC, UCLA, Harvard and now moving up California's political ramp to the national scene. He has been selected to chair the California Democrats "58 County Strategy" for the fall elections. The position will no doubt help him in his first state-wide election as a candidate for Lt. Governor in 2010.
Florez is also the source of about half of all news stories that mention Shafter, so I want to be clear at the beginning that I am not out to get the guy.
(The picture above shows Florez giving an award to Vince Vaughn. No connection to anything, really, but there is so much to like about the photo: Vaughn's dazed look, the guy in the background, Florez photo-op steady in the midst of the swirly chaos of the comedy club. I like it.)
